The total was over 10, just had been done as off duty instead of sb. The tablet though treated it as if the 8 hours had been done as sb and was showing that I had the extra hours to drive.
I had not even intended for those initial two hours to be used as a split, just sort of worked out that way thanks to a back up at the shipper which ended up pausing my 14 hour clock.
I really got to study these new changes some day.
DOT let me pass a level 3 inspection even with a logbook violation from the day before!

If u did a 10 then u were not in violation and the trooper was wrong. U only need to log it sleeper if ur doing a 7 or 8 . A 10 can be logged as off duty or sleeper or a combination

I once had a level I inspection where the truck passed and got a shiny new sticker but I got a logbook violation, form & manner for not writing the number 24 for the total hours. Like the total could be anything else.

We're all human and we all make mistakes. Sometimes the humans on the other side of the law have sympathy for us and will be kind, and sometimes not. Just try to remember we're all just doing our jobs and treat each other with respect and you'll be surprised what you can "get away with" whether it was intentional or not.

That new split sleeper rule where you can take a 2 or 3 hour or more off duty break before taking the 7 or 8 hour sleeper berth part is wonderful! I've found it really gives added flexibility to be able to pause the 14 hour clock like that.
BUT, the 7 or 8 hour sleep berth status has to be taken, even if it is part of a 10 hour break. The good news is they can be taken simultaneously! So, while I'm taking the 7 hour sleep berth break to complete my last duty cycle, I'm also working on getting in the 10 hour break to completely reset my 14 hour for my next duty cycle. However, as I found out myself, and as non-consequential as it is in reality, not having the 7 or 8 hour sleeper berth status is considered an HOS violation.
