MadDog..... you are wrong, plain and simple..... as you've been told by everyone. First, you quote the wrong reg. In fact, there IS NO reg 328.63! Maybe, you meant 382?? That's controlled substance testing!
Now, the reg is here:
http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regul...ction_toc=1940
And it clearly states that you cannot DRIVE if you've been on duty for 70 hours in 8 CONSECUTIVE days. So, yes.... the 8th day's hours DO "count" against your 70!
You don't get back the day 1 (of the PREVIOUS 7) until the END of day 8!!
[That is ONE reason we are required to carry and produce log sheets for the CURRENT day AND the previous 7 days!]
I don't know or care what you've been doing for 36 years..... but, if you've been counting on getting hours back AFTER only 7 days.... you are WRONG.
Perhaps, your reference to the WRONG/nonexistent reg shows that YOU have not kept up with the changing regs concerning HOS.
Now, if you'll READ the reg I cited, and if you STILL don't understand it.... I or others will be GLAD to explain it further. And I think an apology might be in order. :wink:
