Split Sleeper Rule Canada South 70

The 3 hours in the berth stops the clock leaving you 6 hours. Your 16 hour window will now end at 03:30.

If you then spend 7 hours in the berth you will have 8 hours available to work, 7 of which can be driving and your 16 hour window would then be up at 8:30 pm.

If you take a full 8 hours instead of just 7 you will have reset your work shift and will have a full 13/14/16 available though you would need an additional 2 hours off duty prior to midnight so as to not exceed your daily limits.

 

The three hours stops the clock. Any time before and after the 3 hours must be counted. So 10 shift hours before it leave 6 shift hours available. 8 on duty hours before it leave 6 on duty hours after it and since you had exactly one on duty hour that wasn't driving all six of the duty available can be used for driving.

If you then take 7 hours in the berth the six hours of driving from 9:30 pm until 3:30 am need to be counted so that leave 7 driving hours available after 10:30 am, 8 on duty hours and a ten hour window.

You can do that over and over as long as the time before and after the period in the berth does not exceed the 13/14/16 limits and the time in the berth when combined with the previous sleeper berth period totals 10 or more hours.
