Sleeper Berth Split Break I NEED HELP PLS!!!!

I should clarify that it's not very efficient use of your time to take nothing but 8 hour breaks. I maximize my time by utilizing a two hour break at either the shipper or receiver while unloading. A typical day for me might be:

Sleep 8

Drive 5

Sleep 2

Drive 6

Sleep 8

Drive 5 etc...

I unload and pickup once a day. I typically sit 250 miles from the receiver and start my day very early in the am. If the receiver takes more than an hour to unload, I stay long enough to make it two hours... Drive a short distance to load where I'll then have 4 to five hours left to drive. Sleep in the early afternoon so I get prime parking in the truckstop... Up at O'dark thirty and do it again.

 

one thing though make sure you show a ten hour break at some point, to me it seems like thats what the DOT looks for. i only think the split sleeper should be used on a situational basis. i look at the split sleeper asma total luxury

 

There is no restriction on the use of the split-break provision. If there were, it would be in the regulations.

 

I split just about every day and I've never had the DOT say anything about it. I use DDL though and half the time when they ask about the log book, I tell 'em it's on the computer and that's as far as it goes.

 

Thanks for the software link!
