    Off the cuff, you'll have 3.5 hours left and then another 8 or more sleeper to get more, you can do ithat indefinitely, if things work out.

    If you have ELD, it should figure the hours correctly, and if your situation allows it.

    Mine wasn't right until they started supplying data to the FMCSA, and then it magically got fixed, other than connectivity issues.

    Minimum 2hr break, drive, rest for 8hrs, get back everything prior to 2hr break. After 8hr break I forget if full 10hr is needed. I think is how it works,

    Haven't been able to do one for almost a yr, usually on go with minimal hold ups. Use to do them all the time ;)

    Edit: get back everything unused and prior to 2hr break out of 11hr drive line. Between 2hr break and 8hr break drive time is still part of the 11. Hope this better explains than original response above of mine

    How about this, drive till you start feeling tired, take a break or a nap. Drive some more? Then at the end of your day, go sleep as long as you want too??
    But then again, a man has to know his limitations.
