Split sleeper question.

Think of the 8 in SB as just pausing your 14. Whatever you have when you stop for the 8 is what you will have when the 8 is up. You don't get anything back until you take the other 2. when you finish the other 2 you will get hours back minus the hours you used between the 8 and 2.

 

Split sleeper dosnt give any time back it simply freezes your 14 at whatever it was when u started your break. It's very rare that's it's useful at all, usually only to catch back some time lost sitting at a dock or broke down if you had the foresight to log the whole thing as sleeper.

 

Spits are a usually a PITA. You can also do a 2/8 split if you have 2 hrs off-duty getting loaded or something, or if you sit for 5 hours getting loaded, you could go to sleep for 8 and have the same hours left as what you had when you arrived ( after on-duty time checking in of course ).

They kinda need to be started early on in the trip, and the 8 has to be logged as SB to pause the clock.

 

The 14 hours per driver still applies you've got 14 hours to do 11 hours of driving each so your best off doing your 11 then switching drivers and let him do the rest or at least that's what i'd do.
