You have reached your 70-hour limit. How can you reset your available hours under the restart provision?
a.Take 24 consecutive hours off duty
b.Take 34 or more consecutive hours off duty
c.Take two separate 12-hour breaks
d.Wait until the start of the next calendar month
Explanation
The optional restart requires at least 34 consecutive hours off duty, after which the 60 or 70-hour count begins again. A 24-hour break, split breaks, and calendar changes do not reset the weekly total.
