Lets say I start my day @630pm. Do on duty for 10 min and hit the road. I drive for 6 hours until 1230am. I have 750 and 5 on my 14 and 11.
I sleep until 830am where I then do 10min on duty. Clocks are 740 and 5 on the 14 and 11. I drive for 4 hours until noon and go off duty for 2 hours. Clocks are 140 and 1 on the 14 and 11.
But wait, since I completed the split, my clocks now start at the end of my sleeper. So my clocks are actually 7:50 and 7 on the 14 and 11 at 2pm.
Is my math right? Trying to figure out how to avoid driving all night with a fresh 70 coming @630pm.

Sorry i dont understand the 8/2 split. But how you getting a fresh 70 without doing a 34 reset?
-

You are going to lose that 1/2 hour that you spent driving after midnight. The 11 and 14 run on the 24 hour day and anything you burn in that 24 is gone until the next day. So driving 30 min past midnight cooks off 30 min from the 11 for the entire day.

The 11 and 14 hour clocks are reset by 10 hours of continuous off-duty (a day/24 hours has no affect on this) or a combination of 8 hours sleeper and 2 hours of either sleeper or off-duty.
In your case: after the 2 hour break if you drive for the 1 remaining hour or are on duty (driving or not) for the remaining 1:40 you will have to take a 10 hour off-duty or an 8 hour sleeper.
The hard stops are 11 hours driving, 14 hours on-duty and the 8 hours of driving. If you use the split you have to log sleeper berth for 8 hours, after this period your 14 hour clock starts and won't be reset again until you take another 8 hour sleeper.

This is a reasonable visual.
Good luck -
Start driving at midnight, shut down between noon and 2 pm.

Not sure how you manage to drive for 6 hours as well as do 10 minutes on duty in a period of 6 hours. Same for driving 4 hours plus doing 10 min on duty between 8:30 and noon which is only 3 and a half hours.
I think you understand it and just messed up a bit in your example. After the 2 hour period you would treat it as your clock starting at the end of the sleeper. -
?????
The 11 and 14 are shift limits. 10 hours gives you a new shift. Done right you can have 14 hours of driving on one day (well almost 14, you'll need to show some line 4 for a pre trip at the least). -
If you shut down at noon for your two hour break you will have used 5:30 on your 14 and 3:20 on your 11.
That leaves you with 8:30 on your 14 and 7:40 on your 11.tinytim Thanks this.
