8/2 split question

The 8 hours of drive time and 11 hours on your 14 is correct. Your 2 hour plus the 8 hour sleeper berth time gives you the required 10 hours to reset your clock.

 

That website doesn't go into detail, just says that the ten hour break can be split into 8/2 hours. There is a lot more to it than that.

 

Best explanation of the split break.

 

this is why drivers are exhausted, spend more time trying to figire this nonsense out, it just forces u to drive when u dont and cant when u want. complete rubbish. say im out of hrs on my 70, just stopped in the middle of the afternoon wide awake after sleepin all nite, can drive after midnite so instead of driving now when im awake i will drive after midnite lol all rubbish, but hey some guys like a challenge an find it interesting, i got better things to do i guess

 

paper or elog dont matter, all logbook rules are rubbish. guys running around racing a clock. problem isnt really elogs its someone else dispatching you on elogs

 

just show this video to everyone who is not a trucker and they will understand why truckers are exhausted, all rubbish.

 

Just take a 10 hour and dont worry bout it.

 

To decipher this, you will need a frog, a wizard, two cans of pineapple juice, a garden gnome, bolt cutters, zipties, duct tape, an abacus, a pint of virgin's blood, $38 in small change (no bills), a souvenir spoon from the Grand Canyon, a latex glove, a magnifying glass, ice cube tray, and a notarized letter of recommendation from your Congressman, signed in invisible ink.


The rest should be self-explanatory.
