Link to split break explanations

Your clocks stop for the 6 hrs (on this case) WHY because it doesn't know your not taking the long side (7-8hr) 1st....!! But when you don't take the required 7-8 hrs it sees the required short side and only counts 3hrs... so as soon as you go onduty or start driving all the clocks will change to show ONLY 3 hrs pause in the 14...

I do 4 splits a week..... each the short side is 4-4 1/2 hours but it only extends my 14 by 3 hrs...

 

nope try READING the reg's..... it saids 2/8.. 8/2... 3/7.... 7/3

You want to take 6:55 fine but only 3hrs of it counts.... don't believe me just stop at a scale and ask if you can take a 6:55/3:05 as a split.....

I was doing splits since teens were allowed to do the 5/5

 

Might want to learn to read. It says at least 7 sleeper and at least 2 off-duty/sleeper totaling at least 10 hours.

Note the "at least" portion of all requirements of the regs posted twice in this thread.

 

Well it would need to be "at least" 7hrs if your doing a 8 wouldn't it..?
It would need to be "at least" 2hrs if you were taking a 3 wouldn't it....?

Don't beleave me if you don't want to I don't care.... just stop at a scale and plead you case....

 

Let's be simple. Where does it say the maximum time is 3 hours? Not you reading something that isn't there, but where it actually claims the max time is 3 hours.
I'll be waiting as you'll never find it.

 

Also, one can go to ELD - Educational Tool for Hours of Service and put in a dummy log file. I just did and guess what, no violations for the schedule the op is talking about.
