    Ya I know about the split sleeper but FMCSA may have a different plan in mind.They seem to know everything about the drivers in their minds.

    It takes them about 4 years to change the rules.

    I just go with the flow. I shall explain.
    .
    .
    I fuel up first thing on snacks and coffee.
    .
    .
    Drive 4 hours straight.
    .
    .
    .
    Stop at rest area or truck stop to use he restroom and fuel up again on food and drinks.
    .
    .
    .
    .
    Drive 5 hours straight
    .
    .
    .
    .
    Gotta use the restroom again or just stop and zone out for 5 minutes because im tired of driving.
    .
    .
    .
    .
    Drive 2 more hours, then wake up teammate and hit the sleeper.
    .
    .
    .
    It is different every day depending on my needs.
