Since I started after the 34 hr restart was implemented I am not sure I understand the old system. It seems that you work until you get 70 hrs and then you are down until you can add back in the hours from day 1 or the 8 day cycle.
Is that how you see it? |

The Old SystemLets see if I remember.70 hrs in 8 days. 10 hrs drive, max 11 hrs combined with on duty not driving status. 8 hrs off duty or sleeper berth CAN combine offduty and sleeper to get 8 hrs. as long as there is no less than 2 hrs.straight in berth. Can only split sleeper berth 2 times to get 8 hrs. neither less than 2 hrs. Off Duty not Driving may be logged at meal breaks or anytime you are relieved of duties. Does NOT count against your hours. Can run the 5 on and 5 off with the old system. 72 hour reset. Please correct this if I have it wrong. I have thrown out all my old FMCSA books. I had no reference. A clever person can run forever on the old system. |

I had the same impression from what little I knew about it. Seems to me that is unsafe compared to the new system. To much politicing going on. |
