7/3 split

ELD should show you or 11hours - (minus) driving hours you did use.

 

A 7-3 split won't reset your drive time. You need to take 10 off to get your drive time restored

 

This is both incorrect and irrelevant to the OP’s question

 

The answer depends on if you took a three hour break prior to the 7.

If yes: whatever unused time prior to the 7 hour break, plus whatever time you used prior to the 3 hour break.

If not: the drive time you have is whatever was unused prior to the 7. Then you need to take a 3 hour break to get back whatever you used up prior to the 7.

 

I apologize for being irrelevant, but your drive time only resets after a consecutive 10 hrs off duty/SB or combined. I split shifts many times and have never had a driving clock reset

 

I found my real trip example utilizing new HOS flexibilities:
After the break that ended at 8:30 pm I drove for 3 hours and 15 minutes: 3.25
Day1:



then after the short "stretch legs" break I drove 1.5 hours: both drive times after the break from day 1 amount to: 3.25+1.5=4.75 hours. And then I went to sleeper for 7 hours. After waking up I was able to drive up to: [11(drive time limit)-4.75(time I drove after the long break on day1)] = 6.25 hours (I almost did) before the necessity to take another break of at least 3 hours. See day 2:

Day2 : Notice, how the 7 hours in sleeper and then 3 hours off duty don't count towards the 14 hour shift clock. This would have been one big 14 hour shift clock violation before the last HOS change.


Day3: Another split: after 8 and 15 minute in the sleeper I was able to drive up to:
[11 - 4 (day 2 two drive times 2.75+1.25)] = 7 hours before the necessity to take...at least 2 hour break.
As you can see, I drove a little bit to the customer: 7 minutes then after leaving the customer I drove for 1 hour and 17 minutes, then I went on scale...short time because I used the CAT app - I recommend it...and after scaling the truck I tried to utilize the remaining time to fullest and drove for 5 hour and 19 minutes. The three afore mentioned driving events amount to 6 hours and 43 minutes (less then 7 hours) and then I took the necessary break of at least 2 hours to be able to resume driving after that.


OK

 

not everyone has an eld

I’m actually curious because the wording on it is confusing, but 99% of the time I just take a 10 because I’m lazy

 

You can install free application on cellphone to use as a calculator, not legal log.

 

Can you share the name of app? Thank you
