8 hour SB surprise

Im on a eclipse logbook program. I think I know what your talking about. Someone correct me if Im wrong, but, I've found that if I take 2 hours off duty followed by an 8 in the sleeper and drive till the rest of my 11/14 that was left from the end of my first break and then take another 2 hours off duty i get what ever hours were left from the end of my 8. Does that make sense? Like piggy backing a split sleeper.

 

8/2 example. you have 11/14. drive 1hr to shipper. sit at shipper 6 hrs. lost 4 hrs driving time. sit for 2 more hrs to equal 8 hrs. now you have back the 4 hrs you lost at shipper. drive 5 hrs take 2 hour break. drive 5 more hours to equal 11 hrs driving. take 10 hour break

 

are you saying you used 8/2 more then once in a 24hr period. if that the case you can only use 8/2 once then you have to take a 10hr.

 

that's not how it works. you cant just keep taking 8hr. you have to take the 2hr and then show a full 10hr. the 8/2 only allows you to regain time lost. once. you cant just keep taking 8 hr breaks. you have to show a full 10 hr break every 24hrs

 

Any period of 8 or more and less than 10 hours in the sleeper is not counted against your 14.

Doesn't matter if you ever take the additional 2 hour break.

 

correction. when you use the 8/2. you dont have to use the 2hr but if you use the 8hr and drive the remainer or close to the remainer of your 11hr you have to show a full 10hr break. you cant just continue to take 8 hr breaks
