1 Sheet Explaining Split Breaking

I am not sure how to do that? Do you know how to change a word document into txt. Wait I might, but I will have to do that after work if I get on. I might go out tonight . But I will by the end of the week

 

It just won't work, I have tried everything just to post it in a different way and it's just not workig

 

Class you can split break all year long without a 10 hour break. When split breaking if you follow my A,B,C steps it will tell you exactly what to do to figure out your 11 & 14 (doing the 14 rule first). When I talk about breaks I am talking about the 8 & 2 (ignore any breaks that are less than that)

What you need is an 8 & 2 hour break. The 8 hour break MUST BE in the sleeper.

SPLIT BREAKING ONLY! EFFECTIVE 10-1-05

DOT now says if you have must have at least an 8 hour CONSECUTIVE sleeper break to extend your 14 hour period.
To extend the 14 hour you; count over from your original 14 hour mark by the number of hours in the sleeper and make a new mark this will be your final 14 hour mark. From the time you started your day to the time you get your second break you can not drive over 11 hours.
A break of 2 hours consecutive of off duty & sleeper followed by an 8 hour SLEEPER break can be used to clear any driving time prior to the first sleeper. But the 2 hour break CAN NOT be used to extend the 14 hour.
8 Hour Break first

Draw a log grid out from the times I am giving you so you have a picture of what the words are saying. This is the 8 hour break coming first, then you follow my abc steps and you can figure out what to do after the end of each break: Keep practicing the steps and make a day 2 or more continus split break until you get the right idea! YOu have to ignore what's ahead on the grid and go step by step. See if this helps


12:00 am to 12:15 am line 4
12:15 am to 5:15 driving
5:15 to 1:15 pm sleeper
1:15 pm to 4:15 driving
4:15 pm to 4:30 line 4 (on duty
4:30 pm to 5:30 off duty
5:30 to 8:30 pm driving
8:30 to 8:45 line 4 (on duty
8:45 to 10:45 pm sleeper
10:45 to 12:00 am driving.


The above driver started working at 12:00 am, his 14 hour was up @ 2:00 pm, and he took an 8 hour SLEEPER break so he could extend his 14 hour to 10:00 pm. From 12:00 am to 10:00 pm his driving time can NOT be more than 11 hours and he can not DRIVE past 10:00 pm. He must now take @ least a 2 hour break of off duty or sleeper combination. Once he completes that 2 hour break he needs to do the below 3 steps. These steps take place after the 2nd break of either 8+2 or 2+8 if you want to continue split breaking.
SPLIT BREAKING

After the SECOND BREAK:
A. Go to the end of the previous break count over 14 hours (make your mark)
B. From the end of the previous break look forward and ask; do you have 8 hrs or more in the SLEEPER?
If yes: Count total hours in the sleeper; count over that many hours
From your original 14 hr mark you JUST MADE on step A and make a new mark.
That mark is your final 14 hr window. (You must stop driving by that mark) Remember 8 hour break or more extends the 14 hour that is why we counted over.
If no: then your 14 hour mark is the one you marked on step A. (If there is only a 2 hour break it will not extend the 14 hour)
C. Add up driving hours in between the 8 & 2 breaks subtract that answer from 11 & that is how many hours you can drive.
Another Sample (2 hour break first)

12:00 am to 12:15 am line 4
12:15 am to 5:15 driving
5:15 am to 5:45 on duty
5:45 am to 7:00 am off duty
7:00 am to 7:45 sleeper
7:45 to 10:45 driving
10:45 to 11:00 on duty
11:00 to 12:00 off duty
12:00 to 2:00 driving
2:00 to 2:15 line 4
2:15 to 10:15 sleeper
10:15 to 12:00 am driving

The driver started at 12:00 am which makes his 14 hour end @ 2:00 pm. In the 14 hour period he did take a 2 hour break, but the 2 hours will NOT EXTEND THE 14 HOUR, but he can use that 2 hours towards his 10 hour break (again you are split breaking if u do this). He goes to the sleeper at 2:15 and takes an 8 hour SLEEPER break; this satisfies his 10 hour break. Now he will follow steps A, B & C above. The driver above was on line 4 past his 14 hour, this is legal you can be on line 4 past your 14 hour you just can not drive!
A. answer; My 14 hour would restart at 7:45 am, count over 14 hours that would make my 14 hour end at 9:45 pm
B. answer; I do have an 8 hour sleeper break so I can count over 8 hours that would make my 14 hour actually end at 5:45 am the next day.
C. answer; my driving hours available would be 6.
