    I started my day, drove 1 hour, then unloaded. I then went to SB for 4 hours. Then I drove another 1 hour, then loaded new load. Now I’m in sleeper berth.

    Question: Now how long to get back my unused drive hours? I already did 4 hours SB. Do I now have to sit for 8 new SB hours?

    Yes
    Your 4 hour counts as 2 as far as split rule is concerned

    At the end of an 8 hour break now you will have 10 available hours to drive cuz only the first hour before the 4 hour break will fall off.

    You need 8 continues hours in the sleeper to use the split. The cats on the other hand just need a "cat" nap.

    Another 8 hrs after you grab the second load. Should give you 9 hrs but you will still have to take a 30 min during the 9 hrs.

    Cats always win. Came home one day found a dead squirrel on the porch and the cat was laying by the carcass. Getting her rest after chowing down squirrel meat.

    I don't think HOS applies to Cats. They usually sleep up to 16 hrs a day, at random times. Just go til you feel tired.

    We need to educate DOT about that. How dare they try to restrict cats. :)
