Can Anybody Help With a Sleep Schedule??

2 to 2 and reset somewhere. You’ll have to fight over who gets which shift, then stick to it. You’ll both adapt, eventually

 

10/10 could be running just ten hours rather than the full eleven. Your co driver still gets the ten hour break. However it really equates to 10 1/2 hours after the thirty minute break.

5/5 probably refers to five in the am to five in the pm as a driver shift.

When I ran teams we did a 3/3 shift. That way we both drove part of the day and part of the night. I preferred the 3am to 3pm shift. Once I got pass the 7am mark and the sun came up I was good to go. That schedule worked good for us and it was something we both agreed to.

 

it is tough, you can either drive/sleep the same hours, or at the very least SLOW DOWN to the speed limit, to give the person in the bunk, a smoother ride to fall asleep.

i think part of the problem is, the driver is going faster than the posted speed limits, making the one in the bunk go bouncey - bounce...

 

a way to smooth out driving is to use open containers for you water, fill them almost to the top and drive without spilling any.

 

if i recall, the point of team driving, is that truck NEEDS to be kept moving, otherwise, go solo....

if there were no loads, available MAYBE THEN, you both can take that time to get some sleep, but sleep is not something you can "bank on"...you cannot catch up on it, rather..it catches up on YOU.....

a person needs at the very least 5 hours of restful sleep, more like a full 8 would be best.....

 

12 to 12 . You both will share daylight and nite.
