Recap Hours/Rolling Over Hours

Recap hours refer to the hours worked on the first day of the cycle, while the remaining hours will be added after the last day of the cycle. 

Overview 

The application of recap hours includes: 

• It cannot be used if the clocks are zero; the driver then must take a 34-hour restart.
• The cycle hours include the Driving and on-duty hours.
• If the driver takes 34 hours to reset before the 9th day, the driver will get a new cycle with a full 70 hours.
• The concept is the same for the 60-hour / 7-day cycle, i.e., on the 8th day, the driver will get hours worked on the first day + any remaining time in the cycle.
• Drivers can drive without taking the 34-hour restart.

The explanation in the table form is written below: 

Number of Days	70 hours / 8 Days Cycle	Hours Worked (Driving & On Duty)	Hours remaining in Cycle
1st Day	First Day of Cycle 70 hours	7 hours	63 hours
2nd Day	63 hours	3 hours	60 hours
3rd Day	60 hours	11 hours	49 hours
4rth Day	49 hours	9 hours	40 hours
5th Day	40 hours	7 hours	33 hours
6th Day	33 hours	8 hours	25 hours
7th Day	25 hours	11 Hours	14 hours
8th Day	14 hours	11 Hours	3 hours
Calculation		Hours Worked on First Day: 7 Hours	Hours Remaining in Cycle: 3 hours
9th Day	Total	Driver will get 7 hours for first day + 3 hours remaining = 10 hours
