      @@scottstewart8737 if you drive for 5 hours, take 3 hours off duty, then drive for 4 more hours, and go into sleeper berth for 7 hours, you only gain 5 hours of drive time
      If there was a 30 minute pretrip at the beginning, you would also gain 30 minutes of on duty time (not driving)
      The split sleeper is a "rolling clock" so to speak, kind of like how your 70 hour clock will roll over after you hit the 8th day, whatever time you had on the first day will roll back into your 70 hours
      So you have 2 hours left on your 70, your first day you were on duty for 9.5 hours, after midnight you will have 11.5 hours left on your 70, but to get a "fresh clock" you'd need to take a full 34 hour reset
      Same with the split sleeper, you'll gain time back, but only what you used at the beginning, not everything. You can only gain ALL your hours when doing a FULL reset/ rest

    You can go 3 hours off duty or sleeper. But you’ll need to do 7 hours, in Sleeper status, in this example, to complete you 3/7 split. Or just do 10 hr break off duty to reset your clock.

    • @Bendigo1
      @Bendigo1 2 года назад

      That is actually an efficient way to do things if you can make it to where you are going in the 3 hours left of driving and know you will be able to take the remaining break before you run out of time. I use that method a lot with the runs I do to avoid city traffic but pickup and deliver on time. The 30 minute break can waste a lot of time in a week. So if you can avoid taking it.

    So the 3 hours that you used were counted against your 14 total with the 7. Which is why you didn’t have 14 hours of on duty time until you reached the 10 hours consecutive. This split time sleeper can make your head explode 🤯

      Good idea to log at least a short inspection to make sure everything is good to go. Dot does not like to see duty status that goes straight from driving to sb or sb to driving. It indicates that you wake up and take off. Or that you are not logging the duty to match what you actually did.

    But you still cant drive over 11 hours in a 24 hour period which is stupid

      Your opinion on that would change after do you become a driver and drive over the road for a little bit of experience. You’ll see guys driving tired and the mistakes. You’ll see the carnage and death from wrecks and your opinion on sleepy driving and cell phone use while driving will change dramatically.
      Time limits are in place because of drivers being forced by companies to drive sleepy. Companies took it vantage of drivers in the past and I have no defense but these laws protect the drivers and the driving public.
