    Ive never used the split shift rule but I need to tomorrow. In my situation, I want to use the split shift rule to extend my 14-hour work day. But I only want to extend my day using the 7 hour sleeper berth portion of the 7/3 rule. This is what I mean:
    1200am - 300am driving (3 hours total)
    300am - 1000am sleeper berth (7 hours total)
    My question is:
    At 1000am, when I emerge from the sleeper berth, how many hours are left in my work day that began at 1200am? I want it to be 14 hours left to complete my remaining 8 hours of driving. Is this right?

    At 10am you would have 8 hours of drive time and 11 hours of on duty.

    The only way to get a full 14 again is to take a 10 somewhere.

    You'll have 8 hours of driving left, but since you took the split and didn't complete 10 hours off-duty, you'll need to take 10 hours in the sleeper before going off duty, otherwise you'll trigger a violation if you just go off-duty and go home.

    Probably to late to help ... do your 7. You have 8 hours to drive and 11 on your The 8 gets to your final. You should easily do that within the 11 hours.

    When you get to final. Go off duty or sleeper while you get unloaded. If you're off duty or sleeper for 3 hours, you'll get back the 3 hours of drive time and 3 hours of your 14 you used before you toom6 the 7 in the sleeper..
