Do I have to split?

PC. You cannot use up your hours AND THEN take a short break.

 

OP wasn't super clear in the first post. Would have been better if he stated his remaining time on his 8-10-14-70 clocks. Also wasn't explicit on his duty status at the dock. he later wrote "went into the berth".
First time I read it I was thinking he was on duty and ran off his 14.
Follow up post it looks like he had 6 remaining of his 14 when he did whatever he did. Depends on how he logged his time.

 

simply PC and do your 10hrs at truckstop.

 

Open your hood, tell the shipper truck won't start. Go back to sleep for a few hours. When your break is up ,close your hood and roll out.

 

They are YOUR logs. No one can (legally) tell you how to fill them out. Thats why the "well, I was out of hours but my dispatcher said..." doesnt work on cops.

I posted once something right out of the FMCSR website on examples of correct use of PC time, and leaving a shipper/receiver to go to the nearest safe spot was one of the things specifically ALLOWED. So if some know it all cop gives you a ticket for it, just smile and tell him you will see him in court. Because you will win.

 

You've got to be f***king kidding me. Must be the most useless safety officer in the world......
