8-2 split

So If I drive 5/11 hours and then do 8 in the sleeper , its as if those 8 hours never happened so I'm still at 5/11


Except now when I reach 9/11 I can take a 2 hour off duty time and I will be back to 7 available hours. Since we won't count any hours before the first brake (which was my sleeper in this case)


Right? And I can also swap the break and sleeper birth for same results

 

I believe you have it!

 

At the end of your 2nd break everything before the END of the first break, including the first break itself, fall off of your 11/14 hour clocks. While this isn't a big deal with your 8 hour sleeper break it is important to remember for the 2 hour one since that is supposed to be counted against your 14 UNTIL it is followed by an 8 hour sleeper break.
