    I got a load to pickup 70 miles away. Preloaded but I can’t get there early. Full clock right now. Pickups at 2100 today. It’s a multi stop. one at 0600 tomorrow. It’s only 260 miles from the shipper. The 2nd stop is also tomorrow anywhere from 0600 to 1000. The distance between these stops is 100 miles. I’m going to wait hours I’m pretty sure I’ll run out of hour while at the second stop unless a split sleeper can work? Anyone know if if can?

    How many hours did you drive before you started your break before you took your 2 hours off duty? Your driving time cannot exceed 11 hours calculated from the end of your last break. Basically, you can use whatever you had left of your 11 before you took that break will be available after you took 2 hours off duty.

    If your stops are prompt, you won’t have a problem. If they are slow, you won’t get 8 hours sleeper to do a split log.
    Your 14 is up by 1000. As soon as you get to stop 2, go to sleeper. What is the company policy on Personal Conveyance? I wouldn’t PC, I would do 10 off at the receiver and go on duty unloading at 2000.

    Go there now, or get as close as you can. Go into sleeper till time to pick up. Then pc in get trailer. Stay there or go back to where you went into sleeper. Finish up your 10 hour break. Go to work with enough fresh hours to do what ya need to do.

    IF it's a meat plant or other critical time shipper, you MUST pick up (be out the gate) by the DDT time or the company gets a black mark. One too many late departures and the carrier will be shown the door as soon as they negotiate another carrier in.

    Some drop/hook is flexible, but only up to a point.
