11hr day

You screwed yourself.
Once you start you have 14 hours to finish your day. And the only thing that can possibly save you is 8 hours sleep. 7 doesn't count.
Besides, most companies want you rolling, not visiting. I've never had a chance to stop and visit a friend - not in my first 165,000 miles, anyway.

To answer the best I can:

You started @ 4:00 am your 14 hour was up @ 6:00 pm. In between that time you can only drive 11 hours. Basically you have 3 hours to kill (visit with friends etc) but you will need some of them 3 hours for line 4 time (fuel, loading etc). But the 4 hours you did stop what you could do now is split break (which is why someone attatched the split breaking; I think).
So you stopped for 4 hours, now @ 6:00 pm or sooner you only have to take 8 hours in the sleeper instead of 10 hours. This is if you know how to split break. Which I stress drivers need to understand how to split for your case above. I also have a power point I would be glad to e-mail you on split breaking. As the one below and there is another one on the Regulations thread that I have sticky so it should be towards the top.
This is a topic I believe drivers should be focused on learning as long as they understand everything else
So pm me your e-mail address and I will be glad to e-mail you what I have on HOS. Different people explaining it will only help you (Hopefully) get it, since that certain word just might click and then seeing someone else's stuff you just might say ok I got it! So give it a try!

 

0400 - 0800 BTW
0800 - 1200 Off Duty (visiting)
1200 - 1400 BTW
1400 - 1500 Fueling
1500 - 2300 Sleeper
2300 - 0400 BTW

Totals: BTW 11
Sleeper 08
Off duty 04
Fuel 01

Would this be legal/example of "split breaking" ?

 

I am still in school but it is my understanding that you HAVE to have 10 straight hours of offtime in order to reset and be able to drive again. So 8 hours of sleep and two hours of personal time before or afterwards would be legal. If you get behind the wheel to even go down the road to get a bite to eat or something, that will cause you to have to stay another 10 hours in order to get your 10 straight off-duty.

 

No on a good day say you drive 11 sleep 10, you can drive again for 3 hours (now that did not include pre, post, fuel etc)
DOT does not state how many hours you can drive in a day! Just keep in mind when going to the next day that the driving time after your last 10 hour break is still counting against your 11 & 14 (midnight does not mean it is a new day).

Now Canada does not allow anymore than 13 hours of driving in a day.
Sounds like you are doing great and have a great school, keep up the great work

 

It doesn't have to be 10 in a row. But one break has to be no less than 8, with the other no less than 2.

 

I really wish they would just do away with that split loging thing. it confuses everyone and almost never gets used. Just make an allowance for team drivers and be done with it.

Just forget that the day is 24 hours long. it has nothing to do with you anymore. Your day is 11 hours of driving and 10 hours of sleep. and you have 3 hours to load/ fuel whatever before you have to sleep again.
These ruels are stupid, I thought the last ones were bad but these are worse.
example. If you start out at 8am, drive untill 7pm, sleep untill 5 am drive untill 4pm, sleep untill2am, drive untill 1pm..... see where this is going yet??? ..... sleep untill 11pm, drive untill 10am...... cathc my drift yet? if you are only out ne night then who cares but over a week your sleep schedual has fliped compleatly. ANd yet they wonder why half of us develop sleep apnea, narclepsy etc.
If they'd give us a decent set of regs the they wouldn't need all the safety people to constantly keep us (our logs anyways) honest
