You only need 34 consecutive hours off as long at it includes two periods between 1am-5am.

It would depend on the start of your last 34 hour break. For example. I usually get weekends off. However, when I first started, I finished at 7 p.m. on Friday. That is when my break begins, until a few days ago when I finished at 8 p.m.

You only get ONE 34 hour restart in an 168 hour period.

Excellent Dave! I didn't even know you could only do one restart every 168 hours. Geesh!

Here's the quote:

The biggest change on July 1st was a reduction in the number of hours a driver is allowed to log in a 7-day (168-hour) period, due to changes in the 34-hour “restart” provision. The previous rule allowed a driver to work right up to his or her 60- or 70-hour limit, take a 34-hour restart, and then go again. This allowed drivers to accumulate up to 82 working hours in a 7-day period.

As of July 1, 2013, the new rule limits the maximum number of hours a driver can work and drive to 70 hours per week, by limiting when and how often a driver can take a “restart.” One change requires that the restart break include two back-to-back nighttime periods of rest from 1:00 am to 5:00 am, which could force some drivers to be off duty for longer than 34 hours to get a valid restart. Another change limits the use of the restart to once in any 168-hour period (exactly 7 days, down to the hour). The rule specifically says that a driver cannot start another restart break until 168 hours have passed since the start of his or her last restart break. Also, if a driver has multiple potential 34-hour restart periods off within a 7 day period, the driver will need to indicate on the log or time records which one of those breaks is being counted as the restart, if any.
