Can someone help me figure this out? This particular day I was able to pause my 14 hour clock. I’ve been playing around with this and not really sure how I did it. When I stopped that night I still had 53 minutes available on my 14 and 11 hour clock.
If the 0000 to 0630 period had been off duty instead of sleeper berth, would I still have paused my 14?
Also, how late in the day could I have driven, gone off duty and still paused my 14?
7/3 split question

Though you never did a PTI the whole day. That would be a violation.Trucker61016 and Dna Mach Thank this. -
Should pti must be marked or assumed that i did it for example while loading/fueling/eating sandwich ...
I dont mark pti ...very rarely ...been checked couple times ...never mentioned a violation
I am glad you raised it , would like to hearTrucker61016 Thanks this. -

Any one break of at least 2 hours (off duty or sleeper) will pause your 14 hr clock, provided it is paired with another break of at least 7 hours (must be sleeper) and the 2 breaks equal at least 10 hours when added together.
I always start my 10 hr break with a short Off Duty period of 30 mins to 2 hrs, then go to Sleeper to finish my 10. I have always done it this way, but since the new split rules it ensures that I can always pause my 14 if I need to. I very rarely do a true split reset anymore, but I do pause my 14 on a regular basis then do my 10 at the end of my day as normal.nredfor88, Team818, NavigatorWife and 5 others Thank this. -
I would have to look up the regulation to quote it... However, I do know that at least 1 PTI must be shown sometime during every shift. No where in the rwgs does it state how long that PTI must take, simply that it must be logged once a day as on duty.

It’s so rare when I could use that extra bit of drive time but it sure is invaluable when I do need it. Starting to make a little more sense now on the split logs.NavigatorWife Thanks this. -
What is required is a whole list of stuff the driver needs to be satisfied is in working order. Yes, I know it's a fire distinction, but a distinction nonetheless. There are a few ways I can think of to be satisfied, but not do an actual pti. From the absurd of the company has a mechanic who's sole job is preforming pti's to the plausible of driving a truck right after it rolls off the assembly line.
That said, I would always do a pti myself as I don't trust others, but the point is there is no regulation to log a pti as there is no regulation to even do one.
And yes, there is a regulation to log a pti as on duty, IF it is done, just no requirement to do it.otherhalftw, Lostkeys, NavigatorWife and 6 others Thank this. -
