34 Restart Sweet Spot
posted in Blog by Brian Gray
The new hours of service rule changes creates an ideal time frame or “sweet spot” of when a driver must begin his 34 hour off duty reset and be able to resume driving at the 35th hour. The sweet spot is between 7pm and 1am. A driver starting his 34 off duty period during this time frame will meet the requirement of the off duty time containing two time periods between 1am and 5am and be able to resume driving at the 35th hour. Starting the reset during any other time frame will lengthen the time needed to accomplish the reset.
