Yes but if it takes me say 2 hours to get unloaded, I want to know if I can stop the 14 hr clock by going up to line 1 or 2.

I think they did away with that. When I started a few years ago, my Dad told me a sleeper birth could stop the clock. That has changed, but I'm not 100%.

What I would do in your (rank) situation is different than others might to get more drive time :wink:

1 doesn't stop the clock at all, only resets it.

2 stops the clock if it is at least 8 hours.

Unlike canada, which is any 2 hours of 2. But still, 16 hours is a lot anyways.

NO NO NO NO NO! To stop the clock you must have 8 hours in the sleeper! USA RULES
