Truckers Hours
Monthly Summary Sheet
(C) 2013 Geezer


INTRODUCTION
This app will allow you to keep a track of your ongoing monthly hours without you having to have physical access to your log book.

You will be able to tell immediately if you have enough hours available for a run.


60 OR 70 HOURS
If your carrier works 7 days a week, the 70 Hours in 8 days rule applies.

If your carrier works 6 days a week, the 60 Hours in 7 days rule applies.

You can toggle between 60 and 70 hour by selecting the option from the menu.

The last 6 or 7 days, depending on the maximum hours rule above, will be highlighted for easy reference.


ADDING INFORMATION
At the end of the day, simply press the ADD NEW DAY button to open the input screen.

All you need to do is press the one or two digits representing how many hours you worked that day.

The numbers will wrap, so if you make a mistake, simply keep pressing to make a change.

There are separate buttons for fractions of an hour. Simply press whichever one you need, or press the .00 to remove it.

When the number is correct, press ADD DAY.

If you enter more than 14 hours a warning will be given and you will need to click ADD DAY again to proceed with the value.


34 HOUR RESET
When you are close to your maximum hours you can do a 34 hour.

There are 2 ways to enter a 34 hour reset.

  1. The normal way would be by adding 2 consecutive 0's for the days.

  2. Occasionally, you may go off duty early enough in the day for your 34 hour reset to allow you to work on the second day, so you only need 1 day with 0 hours.

    Enter 0 for the first day. Then HOLD the ADD DAY button for the 2nd day and enter the hours worked that day.

The line showing your 60 or 70 hour clock has been reset will be shown in YELLOW in the table.

* REMEMBER : You are only allowed ONE 34 hour reset in a 7 day period The app does not check this restriction and will not warn you if you break that rule.


A NEW MONTH
After 28 days you will be able to reset for a new month by clicking the NEW MONTH button.

The last 7 days hours will be retained for the new month.


RESETTING
The menu has an option for a full reset, which will reset everything back to 0 as it was when you first installed the app.

There is also an option to reset for a new month with the last 7 days values.

To do this you MUST have exactly SEVEN days of data entered in the system.

The menu will show you an option for RESET MONTH which will take the 7 days you just entered and reset the sheet, using those 7 values.


INITIAL USE
The first time you use the app you may be in the middle of the month.

If no values have been entered, there will be a menu option to fill with zero.

This will fill up to the previous day with 0 so you can start entering values from today

For example, if you start working on the 18th of the month you would use this option and all days up until the 17th will be filled with 0.


HELP
This help screen can be accessed again using the menu.
