kind of what i cant figure out...but i you watch the dieselbear videos its obvious he is one...not sure how i feel about it

on the log book video above...cant you do an 8 hour to stop your hours or something as long as you do the other two in some amount of time?

 

There was an hour break logged shortly before, and an hour and a half break logged shortly after...neither of which were 2 hours in duration. The other mistake was that the 8 hour break was not in the sleeper. If you are using "off duty" for your break, it's gotta be all or nothing....can't split it. The 8 & 2 has to have 8 consecutive hours in the sleeper berth and a 2 hour block either in the sleeper or off duty.

 

guess thats why most people dont bother or companies dont allow it

i cant igure out this guys logs....an awful lot of off duty time

 

What's so hard about 8 hours sleeper birth then a 2 hour off duty or sleeper to restart your 11?

 

I was about a quarter mile behind a driver the other day who must have been running about the same speed as i was (65mph) cause the spacing seemed constant. So the guy blows a tire on his trailer and about 4ft of tread is laying on the highway. About 30 seconds after blowing the tire he turns his flashers on so I know that he knows he blew a tire. So I signal left and ease into the hammer lane assuming the guy is gonna slow down and pull over since he turned his flashers on. Nope! After a couple minutes it is obvious that I'm not gaining on this guy so I ease back into the right lane and by now the road is littered with hundreds of small pieces of rubber. Well this goes on for about 7 or 8 miles before the guy finally pulls over about a mile from an exit with a Petro. Turned out to be an ATS driver. Anyway I can't explain the logic in his actions. Just another head shaker.

 

ATS = STUPID LEASE OP

I had one of them the other day, he was parked on the shoulder i passed him. As i go by he pulls back onto the road, about 20 min later he blows past me, puts his 4 ways on slamms on the brakes and parks right at the enterance of the off ramp.....not sure how he passed me either ATS = 62mph....and is was clearly a POS ATS Lease truck so he musta had some work done that he isnt allowed to....

Ahh, but it doesn't restart your 11. It's kind of a rolling 11.

 

isnt it just a way to stop your 14 clock then resume?
