8/2 Sleeper Formula

If you take your 8hr break first you have the same amount of drive time left that you had when you stopped. then you pick up the rest of your hrs minus the ones you used after your 8hr break when you take the other two hrs.

 

8 hrs has to be sleeper.
whatever left on 14 when you go on sleeper will start at end of the 8 hr break
the 2 hr break doesn't stop the 14

 

Can do a 2/8 (reverse order) too.

 

If I remember correctly you can't go over the 14 hour limit on any side of 8 hour sleeper time. The 8 hour sleeper time will extend/move your 14 hour clock out, but it will not stop it. It's pretty hard figure out on paper logs.

 

The 8 hour only works if you use up all the time before the 2 hour.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! So much for keeping it simple

Look, simple 8/2

- Drive 5 Hours
- 8 Hour SB (Has to be SB)
- Now have 6 Hours Drive
- 2 Hour OFF or SB
- Now have first 5 Hours Drive available again

Can reverse the 8/2 as well

 

Split Sleeper Simplified

• 8 hours (must be in the sleeper) pauses your 14
• 2 hours (does not have to be in sleeper) does not pause your 14
• the two break periods (8 and 2) can be taken in any order
• the two work periods on either side of either break, added together, cannot exceed your 11/14/70
• When using the split-break you enter into a cycle of

work | rest1 | work | rest2 | work | rest1 | work | rest2 | work, etc.,
​

until you return to a "normal" schedule by way of a 10-hour continuous rest or 34-hour reset.​

 

Is it necessary to have 2 breaks in one work day?

Could you wake up, run 11 hours straight drive time and then take your 10 hours off in sleeper and then go back to 11 hours right after that?

 

There are some strategic advantages to an 8/2 in some cases. As for just every day, normal work day - Drive 11/10 Hour Break is fine.
