Like i said before i just do what dot and doj tells me to to do. i have only been doing it for a little while.. same way since the new law took affect. Class of 72

for the last 10 years, I didnt set my clock ahead when time changed, how ever I did set it back when time changed back, therefore I have gained 20 hours to use as I see fit, so at the end of the 8th day, I still have 20 hours I can work

I think where the confusion is coming from is that you dont gain back whatever hours you worked on day 1, when you reach midnight at day 8, day one doesnt count anymore because it is now day 9. you dont automatically get back whatever hours you worked, you still can only work 70 in 8 days, the only thing that changes is when day 8 occurs. you work day 1 5 day 2 5 day 3 4 day 4 10 day 5 9 day 6 8 day 7 14 leaves 15 available so you work your full 14 on day 8 total in 8 days 69 hours now at midnight day one goes away because its now day 9 so now day 1 5 day 2 4 day 3 10 day 4 9 day 5 8 day 6 10 day 7 10 day 8 10 total 66 hours, available tomorow 4 hours, not the 5 you worked on day 1 so you work those 4, now day one becomes day 9 and no longer counts, so now you have worked 65 hours in 8 days so you have 5 hours left, not the 4 you worked on day 1 does this make any sense at all? |
I guess not. How many days in a week?

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: Hobo [an OTR driver who knows the regs!] |
