It usualky doesn't make much sense.
I have Split only once or twice but never on paper.
And since it was Shippers screw up, you should be ok anyways.
Please help with this split break problem

you posted this at 8:30 pm 10/9. you have 500 miles and deliver 4:30 am the 11th. So be ready to go at 6:30 am. you should be there by 5 pm. definitely no later than 6:30 pm. you'd be smart to end your trip at the reciever though. so you can choose whether to start your time before or after unloading.
need to know more about when you started today and when you drove, when on-duty, when off duty, etc... to explain options for split sleeper. -
I show up several hours late to places, but the rails I haul out of are never in your favor doing container work. They moan and groan im late but they still unload me and send me on my way. Sometimes i may sit for a half hour longer than normal to get unloaded but nothings perfect.

Or...he can stay up for the next 8 hrs trying to figure out one of the most convulated rules ever written!
volvodriver01 Thanks this. -
If you are out of your 14, then you have to take 10. Only if you did not do all of your 14 could you use the split sleeper.CondoCruiser, volvodriver01 and Logan76 Thank this.

He's right, you're not just splitting the 11 hours driving, but the 14 as well.
Basically you can add up the times (11 and 14) before your breaks (either 2 or 8 or 8 or 2, doesn't matter which comes first) and after and they cannot add up to more than 11 or 14.
Your safety guy is incompetent. I don't know about your elogs, but mine has a Clocks button which would show what is available on the 11,14 and 70 the minute I shut down for the 8 hour sleeper. Thusly I know what I have coming back before I even go to bed. -
If your out of you 14 your done...you can never stop that 14 even when you split. Im on paper and i split once or twice a week, it helps me out alot.
scottied67 Thanks this. -
did any of the driven schools go over this? if not need to read up on this and not ask other who were tought wrong by some log guy who is only looking out for the company.
scottied67 Thanks this. -
If you used all of our 14 you need to take 10 off. You can not split this. You can not drive till you take your 10 off.
