Yes you can! Load the PDF in the link above. Go to Page 22, Example 14 and read the note under "Explanation 11 - Hour Limit". That is as clear as it gets.

... or on page 11 of the Interstate Truck Driver's Guide to Hours of Service document:
"It does not matter which rest period you take first." -

"The Interstate Truck Drivers Guide to HOS Document"... Not calling you a liar,,just want more info.. -

The key to your success, if you drive for a decent company, is knowledge. Understand the regulations that govern you. Ask a lot of questions, read everything you can get your hands on (and don't listen to that guy in the drivers lounge)

I agree Meltom...

While it's true that it does not matter what rest period you take first, the 2 hour period will count against your 14 hour clock. Taking the 2 hour break first will not stop the clock. The only way to stop the clock during a 8-2 split is to log 8 consecutive hours of sleeper birth.
