anyone know what the new rules are? changes were just passed yesterday.

 

drive 1 hour, sleep 20. 3 on duty hours every 15 days.

Last reported, unless something changes, the "new" rules as ordered by the courts go into effect Friday, 09/14/07.

Only 10 hours of drive time
No 34 hour reset.

You have to sit there for 36 hours. 8:15 AM Tuesday + 12 hours, so you start again at 8:15 PM on Thursday. But since it's after dark, you have to take another 36 hours, and you can start at 8:15 AM on Saturday. Now you drive your 1 hour, and....
