    Long story short I was screwed over by driver line up and I have a load i picked up off the yard at 0800 this morning. The problem is the load is due at 0400 in the morning and I just start SB at 1930. I'm 20 miles away from the 90. Can I go into SB from 1930 to 0300 and resume SB after I make my deliver? Also I only have 1hr 9mins in my 70 and I regain 8hr 1min at midnight. I request that your answers stay relevant to the subject. I do not need to hear what I should have done, that's in the past and I need to know how to move forward on this. Thanks.

    10 hours after you start 1930 (730 PM) comes out to 430 am start.

    I don't know what a 90 is, you apparently are trying to say you are 20 miles left on your delivery. You still cannot move until after 430 am.

    If you break SB period into less than 10 hours after your day today (You did not tell us how many driving and onduty hours you burned out today since 0800) you will be in violation if you are already finished with today's 11 and 14 hours driving and onduty respectively. You cannot drive again until you have completed 10 hours SB.

    Trying to tell people not to say or behave a certain way is essentially blowing into the wind. You are going to get lots of love in a variety of ways from the Internet, both good and bad.

    8hours sleeper from 1930 puts your clock back at 0330 with 1hour drive time if you just drove 10hours

    Meaning I'll have one hour of drive and I'll have to complete 2 more hours of sleeper birth in order to get the rest of my hours back I'm assuming.

    After 8hrs sleeper you get 1 hr drive time to get to 90. Once at 90 you go 2hrs off duty or sleeper to get the balance of your new 14

    Just to give you some advice, you have to make sure to trip plan those loads out of driver line up. They will run you real tight on loads out of a terminal.

    Your time zone does not change. Your local time for logging is your home ternimal. Always.

    Time zones do not matter here excepting appointment times.

    All a split sleeper does is freeze your 14. You need to complete 8 hours consecutively in sleeper then you will get whatever time you had left when you stopped back. Once you get to your destination take a 2 hour break to complete you 10 and get you time resets minus any time used after the 8 hours in sleeper.

    To put this into an example of your situation. You used 10 hours of drive time but did not mention how much of your 14 you used. You also have 1 hour plus on your 70 left but get back 8 hours after midnight. So here is what I am understanding you will have after completing an 8 hours sleeper birth.

    1 hour drive time
    Assuming 3 hours on 14 clock
    9 hours in your 70.

    So if you complete your 8 hour sleeper birth to do the split sleeper and get up at 0330 do a 15 minute pretrip , then take 30 min. to get to your delivery it will put you there at 0415. You take 30 minutes to check in and dock then go back into sleeper birth or off duty for two hours to complete the split sleeper. Once you complete the two hour break at 0645 your drive time will reset to 10.5 and your 14 will reset to 10.25 for the day. Since you will only have 7.75 hours left in your 70 that is what you will have for the day and your 14 will end at 1730.

    Here is the main problem with doing a split sleeper. Due to your 14 resuming after completing a 8 hour break in sleeper birth it will still continue running while your taking a 2 hour break thus shortening your available hours for you 14 down to 12 hours.

    I would skip the pretrip since you're still on the original 14 at the end of the 8 in sb. That would have gotten you there on time. Rarely is a sb useful in that manner. Normally you have most of your 11/14 left and have a 8+ wait so you go in the sleeper to freeze the clocks. Either that or you already suffered a 2+ hour delay. Really all it ever saves you is 2 hours. Instead of a ten you're doing an 8.
