Yes, it counts against your 14 hour clock. |

| The only 2 ways to stop the 14 hour clock now is 10 hours of off duty and/or sleeper berth or going into the sleeper for 8 consecutive hours. |

To clarify.... If you take the 8 hour consecutive sleeper berth break... it will stop your clock, but the 2 hour sleeper berth/off duty break will not. So the 2 hour break will count against your 14 hours.
Rule of thumb is this: Do not split log. It is too easy to make a serious mistake regarding your 14 hour rule.....which can lead to steep fines. And, if you can manage an 8 hour sleeper berth break, you should be able to do a 10 hour break and then restart your 11/14 clock fresh. |

| In some respects I wish they would do away with the split off duty as you can mess it up and end up going over hours if your not carefull |

With the way they have it set up now they might as well do away with it.
Before the latest change I used to do 5's or 5,6,5,4 all the time and was better rested than taking a full 10 hour. :roll: :roll:
That was me, and it was nice to have the option of taking a long nap or splitting my breaks as I seen fit to do to benefit me. |

I'm with you Uturn. 5 by 5 was great for me. I don't sleep more than 5 hours. So all I did was lay around or go in th truck stop waiting for the good old clock to say I was good to go.
One other thing I did was take a power nap. Maybe only lay down for 30 minutes to a hour. Worked great for me.
Now I'm retired so It doesn't mean anything one way or the other to me.
