CDL hours of service question....?

I work for a company that does heavy haul locally, regional, and out of State. We are based in Texas. My question is about the new 34 hour reset rules being that only one reset can be taken in a 168 hour period. So, if we usually get off Friday evening, then by Sunday morning at 5a.m. we have our reset in and our 70 hour clock reset, though none of us rarely ever hit the 70 in a "typical" week. Now, if we worked through the weekend, even if we don't hit our 70 hours, the 168 hour period ended Sunday as usual, but we were working. So now we are taking our reset say on Monday or Tuesday, wouldn't that 168 hour clock begin at the beginning of the 34 hour reset, meaning that come Friday when we get off and were off all weekend we didn't get our 34 hour reset in because of the fact that the 168 hour clock started on Monday or Tuesday, whichever day it was that we got off? Ultimately meaning we have to work our way back around to Friday being the start of that 168 hour clock and just deal with taking our resets mid week instead of on the weekends like we "typically" have? I am correct, right? I know back before the new rules last year it didn't matter how many 34 hour resets you took as long as you took it when you needed to. Now with this 168 hour junk its confusing. Just need to know if I am right.

    Excuse, a 34 hour reset is required after 70 hours. Where does it say 168 hours in the DOT rulesbook
