How does this work? My 14 runs out at 20:30 tonight. New Load picks up at 15:00 tomorrow. I have 4.5 hrs left on my 11, shipper is 4 hrs away. I got to my delivery early (16:15) they won't unload me till 19:00 tonight. I checked with them dropped trailer parked in there lot and immediately went to line 2 (at 1630)
If I log 8 hrs in the sleeper does it pause my 14 which would allow me to run 4 more hrs? This way I could take my 10 at the shipper and pick up my load on Friday at 1500? I am wondering cause i would really like to get home early sat. Morning. And the only way i could do is if I can start my clock at the shipper
at 1500 on friday
8 hrs in sleeper to pause my 14???

You must be careful if using the 2 hr break...
the 8 hr break is the only one that will extend your 14 hr clock...the 2 hr break afterwards will not extend your 14 hr clock.
in my opinion the split sleeper rule can be dangerous unless you watch your 14 hr clock closely.Lepton1 and Criminey Jade Thank this. -
I just wanted to take the 8 to pause my 14. Drive 4 hrs to the shipper, then take my 10 to gain all my hrs back
