[QUOTE="hypocrisy, post: 917085, member: 9500"] Of course, but most operations are doing the restart because it just causes problems mid-week when you run out of hours. I haven't seen any 8hr/7day runs posted up in my area, but it's always possible. Under the new rules you can only do a 34 hr restart once in a 7 day period, so it's constantly sliding. So say before where you could have Sat/Sun off, work two 14 hr days, then have 34 hrs off, reset Thursday, then be good to go for another 60 hours, now under the new rules your mid-week reset wouldn't count until Tuesday of the next week. Also, as long as you are in the yard or hub you can work as many hours as you want. You only have to be in compliance when you go on road again. So say you worked til your 60th hour and came in and drove a shifter (assuming your shifter does not leave the yard) or helped unload/load you could work as many hours as you wanted. Just count those as on-duty time and in the above example you would need a 34hr restart prior to going on road. I used to have a run that would consistently get me 62 hours a week. [/QUOTE]
