Property-carrying 60/70-hour cycle and 34-hour restart

Short answer

A property-carrying driver may not drive after 60 on-duty hours in 7 consecutive days when the carrier does not operate commercial vehicles every day of the week, or after 70 on-duty hours in 8 consecutive days when it does. Count on-duty work, not only driving, including work for other carriers.

Restart

At least 34 consecutive hours off duty may restart a property-carrying driver's 7- or 8-day period under 49 CFR 395.3(c). Otherwise the cycle rolls forward day by day. A restart does not remove the separate daily driving, 14-hour window or break requirements. This is not the passenger-carrying restart rule.

What to check

Confirm the carrier's operating schedule and the full on-duty record for the applicable 7 or 8 days before calculating remaining hours.
