About the FMCSA 60/70-Hour HOS Recap Calculator

Commercial drivers and fleet safety managers can eliminate logbook violations using our FMCSA 60/70-hour HOS recap calculator. Track rolling on-duty hours over consecutive days to instantly determine your available drive time. Easily forecast remaining hours, factor in a valid 34-hour restart, and prevent fatigue-related out-of-service orders by strictly adhering to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's 49 CFR 395 regulations.

How it works

  1. Select your operating rule: either the 60-hour/7-day limit or the 70-hour/8-day limit.
  2. Log your total on-duty and driving hours for the preceding 7 or 8 consecutive days.
  3. Indicate if and when a consecutive 34-hour off-duty period was completed to reset your cycle.
  4. Check the recap output to view exactly how many hours you have available to work today and tomorrow.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the 60-hour and 70-hour HOS rules?

The 60-hour/7-day limit applies to carriers that do not operate every day of the week. The 70-hour/8-day limit is used by carriers that operate motor vehicles every day of the week. Drivers cannot exceed these on-duty limits before taking a reset.

How does the rolling recap work?

Hours worked on the oldest day drop off the tally at midnight, freeing up those hours for the current day. For example, on the 70-hour rule, the hours you worked 8 days ago become available to use again tomorrow.

What constitutes a 34-hour restart?

A 34-hour restart is a continuous period of at least 34 hours spent either off-duty, in the sleeper berth, or a combination of both. Completing this period fully resets a driver's 60-hour or 70-hour clock back to zero.

Do driving hours count towards the 60/70-hour limit?

Yes, all time spent actively driving, as well as all time spent in non-driving "on-duty" status (such as loading, inspecting, or fueling), counts toward the 60 or 70-hour cumulative limit.
