How do you "split" your 10 hours?

Occasionally it makes sense.
Screwed up my timing once couldnt deliver on time and take a full 10 first.
Shut down for 8 in Sleeper, was able to leave and deliver less than an hours drive away. Customer took more than 2 hours to unload which I also logged SB. There was my 8/2.

Remember the 8 HAS to be Sleeper and 2 can be Off Duty or Sleeper.
But I do reccommend against doing it, unless you are on ELogs too easy to screw up.

 

Correct....

 

umm, what is this 10 hours of driving?

 

Dang. You mean as a trucker, not only do we have to be able to read 'n write we have to count, too?

Thanks for the link, North Ont., appreciate it, eh?

 

I agree, there is very little reason to use the split sleeper exemption unless your co-driver falls ill or some other unforeseen complication comes up. Best thing to do is work a full day, get a full nights sleep and you'll live a better life and will be in it for the long-haul.

 

Thanks for the link STexan, that's a great help. I even printed out the graphic so I could follow along with the text more easily. It'll take me a bit to wrap my noggin around it...

 

Ok here we go as I understand the split sleeper if you must
the straight 8 has to be first then the 2 later.

 

Thanks for the info, everyone. I think in the beginning I shall implement the time honored KISS method. But I can see how this might come in handy down the road. Just another tool from trucker tool box...

 

It doesn't matter which comes first.

Just remeber you do not recoop a full driving shift. Sometimes better to reschdule deliverys.
