Day 1: 9 Day 2: 8 Day 3: 8 Day 4: 11 Day 5: 10 Day 6: 8 Day 7: 10 __________ Total hours prior 7 days = 64 hours Total available hours for day 8 = 6 hours Day 8: 6 Total hours prior 7 days = 61 hours Total available hours for day 9 = 9 hours (because day 1 just dropped off on day 9). You regain your hours on day 9. Plain and simple, you are wrong. |

So most are telling you correctly but not stressing how you gain that day! I have power point that might help you understand it a "little" more clearer. What you should be doing is this: Before you start working every day the recap should be filled out (now many recaps are shown differently on the log sheet so I pray you have the 7 day recap and boxes 1,2 & 3?? However the answer will be the same if you do it on a scrap paper! So I am getting ready to start working on 2-12-08 but I need to fill out my recap BEFORE I start driving. My last 7 days hours are listed below: 11 9.5 5 4 10 9 8 ___ Last 7 day total is 56.5 Take 70 minues 56.5 and the answer is 13.5 that means for 2-12 I have 13.5 hours to "work" lines 3 & 4 combined. Now lets say I work all those 13.5 hours! At midnight (9th day) I will gain 11 hours, because every night @ midnight you gain the hours that you worked on line 1 Or what you worked 8 days ago! DOT states you can not work MORE than 70 hours in 8 days! So add up the hours you have worked the last 7 days and today and subtract that from 70 hours and that's how many hours you can legally work right now. Midnight will make them hours change because it's a "new day". Did this help clarify a little of the dispute without the attacks? PM me if you would like |

It doesn't matter how you explain it. The dude thinks the rule says eight days but means seven. That's some brilliant reasoning, as far as I'm concerned.
