Negative, you are only allowed 10 hours off duty or sleeper combined, must be driving or working the rest of the time.

That log is perfectly legal. I can explain why too. I will wait though. The only thing I would say is your flag when you came on duty has remarks other than place of change of duty status. Those remarks are not required.

Nope, not legal. No post-trip insp. recorded.
-
Hours available today equals 59, so not out of hours.
If post-trip took less than 15 minutes, then it is logged correctly. No descriptions are required in "remarks" (per FMCSA, company policy may dictate otherwise).
The remark for the change of duty status at 5:00 PM is in the wrong location, so just draw a line over. -
I now want to change my answer to yes it is legal. I confused myself with the rules for split sleeper berth.
YES.
I take it we are to assume that the driving that ended at 0530 and started at 1715 neither exceeded 11 hours and there was a 10 hour break before the earlier driving.
For those that want to brush up like I had to:

I agree with big john . I said no also at first at first glance but you can combine off duty and sleepers. He had 10 off so new start is at 17:00.

Kllm allows a pre and post trip inspection at the same time. Our log books had some wording allowing it, and some sort of federal agreement. That is why I don't show a post trip inspection. I will post it when I find it.
But, for the record, I do a post trip inspection. It's stupid not to. Why would you wait until your break is up to find out that you have to go get in line at a repair shop?

And yes, the day prior must be reviewed.
