    Hours of Service

    Thank you for the information. If I have to work longer than 8 hrs a couple days a week I'm looking into the rules for recap. As long as I stay under 70 hrs in 8 days everyday I work will be the eighth day and the ninth's day hrs will drop off?

    Hours of Service

    I have a question. If I work 7 days a week, 8 hours a day, do I ever need the 34 hour restart? I work 40 hours a week and drive on the weekends.

    Being away from my family will be hard. I've been at my current job 18 years. I'm ready to try something new. My boss told me he would give me a 6 month leave of absence.
