For a lot of you out there, the changes made a year and a half ago to the 34-hour reset rule have been nothing but a convoluted pain in the neck. Thankfully these rulings, for the time being, have been suspended.

The bill has been passed that effectively rollbacks these provisions. You can once again restart your cycle by taking your 34-hour reset at any time. There is no longer any need to worry that your reset period could last as long as 51 hours. No more waiting once every 168 hours to the second for you next reset. No more inclusion of two 1 – 5 am periods. 34 hours is 34 hours!Read More »Resetting the 34-Hour Reset

They also explained how they integrate BigRoad into their safety and compliance program.

As BigRoad users are probably already aware Electronic Logs are a perfectly legal alternative to traditional paper logs. However, due to a grey area in the regulations, some drivers may be asked to produce a paper record of their logs during an inspection. We also recommend that a driver have a printer available in their truck in case this happens.
