How To Avoid A 34 Hour Restart/Reset!

The 34 hour rule is a pain and is one of those things that you can avoid if you know how. Today I will tell you how you can go on driving without having to take any resets along the way.

[@JimWall2]

The 34 reset is the normal 10 hr break plus 24 more hours. So it is only 1 day off. I get more miles if I drive 10-11 a day. 6 days then 1 off and the 8th I have all my hours back. That gives me 70+ in 8 days with a day off...

[@aaronjones3982]

You are correct.

Well said ❤

I've been trucking for 18 years and this is the best I've heard it explained! Great job! I'm gonna sub.

[@MrBobwhen]

Personally I have been driving for many years and the 34 hour reset is my goal as soon as get in the truck. Why you my ask ? Is that the hours are there to drive each day not save them to work every day. Why not get out of your truck get a room and relax , so you will fresh and relaxed to start the next cycle?

[@The6uLL]

This video wasn’t for you then , bob … some of us want to drive and make a good check , especially if it’s OTR …

[@sohel4026]

What if I want to be home? You think I wanna spend 34 hours in a truck stop when I’m like 10 hours from home? 😂

[@jimromanowski6966]

Logging is a skill. The current laws made it more challenging for me to be creative with how I use my 14, 11 & 70 hour work week. Lucky for me, I enjoyed learning how to log back in the 80's Paper logs gave me the flexibility but computers helped me be more creative. The splitting of drive hours, sleeper berth hours, non driving hours & off duty hours. to stop the 14 hour clock I am still learning to master. If I use 70 hours up in 8 days. I deserve a 34 reset. Because for me, 70 hours is more like 100. I do what it takes to get the job done in a safe and timely manner. Dilly dallies, I understand them working the ELD's to only work their 8.75 hours or less, everyday and find that parking space at the truck stop. I avoid snowstorms, rush hour traffic and the long lines at the pumps. Trip planning is skill and I need to be willing to change the plan according to the weather. That means I drive through the night. Its not the number of hours I use up in the 8 days. Its how I use them.

[@aaronjones3982]

I may be completely wrong, but I can run 84 hrs per week WITH a 34hr break. I can not do it your way. 70 ÷ 8 = 8.75 hrs per day continuous with no 34 hr break. I can run days 1-5 at 14hrs/day and have 70 hrs total. Take a 34 Fri night thru Sun morning and hit another 14 on Sun. Run Mon thru Thurs 14 again and 34 break on Fri. Start truck again on Sat for and 5 day 70.

[@louisgittings3708]

You're describing something similar to an EXTREME 11-block hrs driver meaning they'll try to drive 10+ hrs daily and keep rolling right after their 10-hr break. Such a driver can hit 88 hrs in 8 days. For the less extreme 11-block hrs driver, they'll hit 77 hrs in 8 days. You and I are in the same camp.

[@rosaliemacrae7841]

Thank you! Ive had my cdl 2 years and never truely understood recaps. I woked for a mega carrier and the recaps and calculations were simply calculated & shown on the eld. So i never needed to understamd how they were calculated. Now teaming with my husband with a smaller company understandinh is needed ( i no longer have the babysitter doing it for me.) This made it simple for me.

[@sunnybeachlogistics]

Yep! Sometimes you will need that time structure to get back home. Love it.

[@unseengrimoire7545]

Appreciate the video, but definitely a recruiter pov. If you have 10 left, you actually have 8 1/2 in order to find parking for the night. Also you will make close to 300 more hours per year if you do a reset after 70. Recap is not as beneficial as resetting. Although companies will try to get you to keep running.

YEP the key point of MAKING MONEY only while driving is how the industry screws the driver. PAY ME FOR THE HOURS I WORK...NOT JUST DRIVING!!!

[@louisgittings3708]

As a company driver, again, I don't care for recaps, either, because they DO limit my earning potential. Recaps are perfect for weekly and bi-weekly drivers. However, for those of us who stay out longer, we can go much further than weekly/biweekly drivers since carriers don't have to fret about getting us home every week/2 weeks. They should use such drivers and shoot for at least 10 driving hrs daily and plan for a 34-hr reset at the end of driving on day 6. This driver still gets rest, but has MORE hrs available over weekly and biweekly drivers.

[@redmesa2975]

Last company I worked for ran recaps. Problem is, they didn’t exactly dispatch that way lol. Safety explained 2 things that made it simple. Don’t work more ( on duty & driving) than 8-9 hours per day. That way you’ll always have hours available. Also wait until hour 6 to take a 30 minute break. ( this was before they changed it to 30 minutes on duty to meet the break requirement ) The hardest thing for me is trying to figure out how much time I get back after midnight. When my 70 is running low. Many times I got up to discover only a few hours available for the day…. Bummer !!

[@narrowpath2980]

i believe personal conveyance and yard move may also play a part in avoiding a reset an adding much more time. thanks for this info , very informative.

[@miguelgutierrez3720]

Essentially what you are saying is you never get time off or home time which imo is trash. This is the way truck companies want you to run so you never stop moving each day thus cutting your hours each year by 300 hours and also shorting you those miles you would have gotten in that amount of time. Now if you own your own truck and want to run all the time and never stop sure great method as for the majority of us who want days off and home time to get off the road and out of the truck for a day and a half or two days this information is exactly as I said garbage plus doing the 34 hour reset actually gives you an additional 300 hours which equals more miles driven each year since you aren't constantly ending your day early each day.

In "Emergency", I pull the plug on the ELD, and convert to paperlogs. What can I do? Gotta move, and ELD is "broken". There is also some ELDs that don't react to the movement of the truck. How shady, but comes in real handy sometimes.

I use it just to get home and do a 34hr reset since there will be days when the 8th day falls off and recovered hours are small amount like 3hrs to 6hrs you can't get far with that on top of that you will be missing appointments.

[@jaybird4354]

12th day without a 34 reset... my clock does stay under 20hours but I been getting 8 hours back each night but in 5 more days I'll only get 4 hours back.... so in 18 days I'll probably take a reset. How am I doing this? Well I go off duty while they unload me. But I can't be in the truck, so I go get lunch or go shopping for a hour 2 times a day.... so I only go on duty for pre trip and fueling. I was going onduty unloading but I only could work 5 days... so if im eating lunch across the street I don't have to be on duty. So I'm on day 12 with 15hours on 70 and getting 8 hours back for about 4 more days then getting 4-5 hours back

[@roxanacader]

I am stuck i Tucumari, NM, raining, 34h reset becouse I miss the key to open this fantastic door: how to tell my clock to give me the hours. I am using Motive ELD, can you tell us what to touch to make my clock give me the hours ?

[@martinl7009]

So at the end of a day, we don't make more money driving with no reset, because we obviously drive less every day. It's all about avoiding reset and not being stuck for 34 hours somewhere :)

[@louisgittings3708]

Ummm...only to those who don't want to drive 10+ hrs daily (or even 9!). The 34-hr reset is invaluable to those who CAN run 10+ hrs daily. We actually drive more miles in 8 days and have more hrs available in 8 days than recappers.

[@mr.magnificent247]

Does “hours worked” include “driving” hours and “on duty-not driving” or just “driving” hours?

[@Eljewel01]

I've never had good outcomes doing it this way. One main reason is that you never know what the shipper will do. Now you're stuck.

[@radiobrent2710]

Reset vs Recaps is really a lifestyle choice. You’re technically working the same amount of hours each week no matter which one you choose. Personally, I prefer working longer days and doing all of my sitting at once (during the 34). After working 11 to 14 hour days (and only stopping 10 hours at night) for 5-6 days, I’m ready for a break! During that break, I will use personal conveyance to go shopping and do stuff! Plus, my company pays me $100 for doing a reset on the road and a night in hotel. So, I actually make more money doing resets!

[@glenbolding9883]

What company? It sounds interesting.

[@AmberMardones]

Seriously what company!? I get deductions for stopping and doing anything

[@louisgittings3708]

I'm with you on resets, however, all things being equal, those using resets after humping 6 days on the road, can hit 77 to 88 hrs (for those running right after 10-hr breaks) in an 8-day cycle. 9-block hrs recappers, stretching their hrs to use their last 7 hrs on day 8, can only max out at 70 hrs.

[@leonardomichua]

I’m still new and make mistakes. I would put myself on “off duty” even tho I should be on “on duty” because I’m fueling or switching trailers

[@MrDmacc1]

If you use all of your seventy hours within the first six days , Could you pick up hours from eight days back from day seven, or Will you have to wait for a 34 hour Reset

I'm looking for info on how I'm supposed to be handled. My work agreement is to get 34 hours home. I'm a co driver and I'm on my 10 hour break right now while my Co Driver is getting us to PA from Wisconsin. We're getting dragged down in the snow right now. I want to know if we're going to get stuck in the truck on our way back with our load and lose our 34 hour reset because of weather delaying our arrival. Losing our time home like agreed. Our truck is also scheduled for its regular maintenance this weekend at our operating center.

[@otilium7503]

70h/14= 5 days. So technically the 70 hours are for 5 days of 14hours a day. Then you'll have to do a reset.

[@jamestorres6485]

I'm a new Werner truck driver. I believe I made a mistake and called the logs department to make sure I can do this, and they told me I cannot move the truck until the 34 hours is over, even though according to the log, the 9th day back would give me 6 hours, which is just enough to get me home to be with my kids. Is this a legal loophole that they don't want me to know about?

Hi, I know how to use the split sleeper berth 2-8, but can it be done the other way around after running out of HOS? Say that I already drove 11 hrs and usually for me to get another 11 hrs of dive time, I need to be off 10 hrs, but if I only get into sleeper berth for 8 hrs, will I get any driving hours back? And after driving, let's say 4 hrs, I get into the sleeper berth for 2 hrs. Does that work? Thank you

[@jazzrattu1169]

We’ll explain thank you so much

[@thereviewer4173]

You can get more miles in a week if you run all your 11, say Monday to Saturday. With the method you speak of you only get 8.75 hrs of on duty every day. In practice that’s only like 8 hrs of driving. For some schedules, never getting a 34 hr break works, but if we’re talking about who can clock more miles, then the answer is clear. Drive all your hrs in 6 days and take a 34, to then start fresh again on the same day of the week you started.

[@user-os6dw8hc7n]

Very true you can get more miles running 11 , but are those paid miles ? I am willing to bet most not all company drives don't have loads stacked perfect to drive 11 hrs a day. Especially solo drivers. When ever I run on recap always end up with more paid miles as s company driver average 12-13k miles in 4weeks solo. But the load gods have to be nice that month

[@thereviewer4173]

@@user-os6dw8hc7n You are right in that for big OTR companies, they will probably run you on recap to a certain extent because they do not have the loads or lanes to run everyone hard. Companies make more money by running their drivers on recap. While drivers make more money by running hard provided the company has a good lane. There are also differences in pay from company to company. Some pay all miles, loaded or empty.

[@aguinaldomota2875]

What if I start the logs and I am not having to drive enough hours to complete the 70hrs in 8 days? Do I reset even if I didn’t complete the 70hrs but I am already finishing the 8th day? I am just a new to box truck and sometimes I’ll be driving over 150miles. I’ll start this coming Monday. In the Motive software the cycle is 70hrs for 8 days. I am trying to lean the most I can.

[@AmberMardones]

I’m probably just an idiot and can’t comprehend. But please help… I don’t understand how if I have already gone home or taken a 34 hour how am I supposed to get hours back if I never had any hours in the first place from the day I would get hours back from. If I am forced to take a restart today (let’s say on the 1st of the month) how would I skip a 34 hour restart next week or the week after, since I am out of hours now and I'm forced to restart the same thing is going to happen next week and the week after. 🤦‍♀️ wouldn't that mean I would have to have hours from that past day to keep going? And if so how do you get past hours you never had in the first place? I watched the video and you explain it very well….it's just that in practice when attempting to follow this scheduled it didn't work for me because of that 0 hours from my last 34.

My thing is this if I do split time in one day and my clock stops thoes not mean in anyway that my sleeping time will cut off at 8 hours. I will need a defenetly a 10 hour restart.

[@ashinethe]

You explained well but you can do it that way in a perfect world . But be out there and drive with your calculation ? Good luck . . You have to put the road condition construction and getting stuck in traffic . You can never reach your destination. Responsible and professional drivers must have more flexible way to drive and be productive . Even tho the government put this restriction for safety it’s ironic that it could be more stressful for many drivers to meet the demand from shippers and receivers and the brokers and dispatch. Those 34 hours could reduce fatigue however they can be stressful with a load in my truck and they are not in destination place due to luck of hours .

[@royalflush8173]

I'm sure she's explaining this perfectly, but my brains are scrambled now

[@biggfoot52]

Hate to spoil your info but, I work as a driver in refineries and we sometimes do 12 hour shifts (in plant-driving on yard move or on duty) for 2 weeks straight. In 6 days thats 6X12=72 hours I've worked. Now I know this is the exception but hear me out. After the 2 weeks has ended, obviously I have to take a 34 to restart my hours. Any other drivers have that kind of experience?

[@official_NelsonR]

One thing though, if you ran out of hours but you know you'll get hours at midnight, is it okay to get the violation knowing it will reset at midnight?

[@louisgittings3708]

No. You'll get the violation, anyway. However, let's say you have 40 minutes left on your 70 and you'll get 8.5 hrs back at midnight. You can start driving at 2321 hrs. In 39 minutes (midnight) you'll get your 8.5 hrs recap added while you're rolling. Why did I say start at 2321 instead of 2320 since you have 40 minutes available? Because, it may not hit midnight before your 40 minutes expire--generating an hos violation. (I learned this the hard way.) Now, I just wait one extra minute before starting my clock. Starting at 2321 hrs, I'd still have 1 minute on my 70-hr clock at midnight...or 8 hrs 31 minutes after getting the 8.5 hrs recap.

[@MrDmacc1]

[@johnny7121]

does this work for owner operators? those appointments can be a problem when doing recaps.

[@n085fs]

I have a feeling this is wrong. I thought the reset time was to force time off so a driver doesn't get burned out by driving 365days/year. What you're saying is if I drive for 8 hours per day, I'd never have to take a day off as long as shippers/receivers are always open when I get to them... Sounds nice, but I don't believe it.
