Here is my thoughts,since you usually take the time driving between the split sleeper berths and subtract from 11 and that gives you what you can drive I think I have the full 11hrs available,thoughts? You still have your full 11 hours driving time. However, the 2 hours loading time WILL count against your 14 hour clock, so you only have 12 hours left to drive the 11. I will NOT defend my position tonight, those who THINK they know the rules better than I, can assail me all they want. But, as usual, they are NOT listening to the facts as you've posted them, and are bent on "quoting" regs, instead of "understanding" them! Since you didn't DRIVE between your two breaks, you still have all 11 hours left to drive. Your most recent clock started AFTER your initial 2 hour break in the sleeper waiting to get loaded. The 2 hours loading are on line 4, followed by the 8 hour sleeper break. You now have only 12 hours left within which to drive ALL 11 HOURS, if you want. However, if you do so, you'll need to take a full 10 hour break to get hours back, because you will have driven the full 11. Got it?

thanks guys,I thought that the 10 hrs sleeper berth with no driving would give me 11hrs driving time,leaving now before you know who shows up and really screws it up.

Split sleeper
Golfhobo is correct, and to quote the regs:
395.1(g)(1)(ii)(B) Calculation of the 11-hour driving limit includes all driving time; compliance must be re-calculated from the end of the first of the two periods used to comply with paragraph (g)(1)(ii)(A) of this section. (g)(1)(ii)(C) Calculation of the 14-hour limit includes all time except any sleeper-berth period of at least 8 but less than 10 consecutive hours; compliance must be re-calculated from the end of the first of the two periods used to comply with the requirements of paragraph (g)(1)(ii)(A) of this section. In other words, your time available after the 2nd qualifying break (the 8 hours in the bunk) is calculated by counting forward from the end of the 2-hour break and excluding the 8-hour period.

We have 3 different views here. :lol: He had 11 hours to drive! His 14 would restart from the end of the 2 as Golf stated, however he had an 8 hour sleeper break so that would extend the 14 hour. So if his 2 hour break ENDED @ 12:00 am his original 14 was up @ 2:00 pm. Now he had the 8 hour sleeper break so now his 14 hour is up @ 10:00 pm. (the 8 hour break extended the 14 hour) The 14 hour is just as important as the 11 hour. They both need to be figured before driving! His driving time from 12:00 am to 10:00 pm can not total more than 11 hours until he gets a 2 hour break! I didn't even read half the comments I just saw you begging for my answer! 3 simple steps to figuring out when the 14 hour is up and how much driving time is available. Always add driving time in between the 8 & 2 breaks subtract from 11 and that is how many hours you have available to drive.

5 hrs (driving) 2 hrs (loading-on duty) 2 hrs (sleeper berth-waiting to be loaded) ___________________ 7 hrs worked remaining hours- 14 -7 = 7hrs (6 can be used for driving) If he "trimmed" the load time on duty, he could free up some more time, or bank it for the rest of the week :wink: edit: he does not have 9 more hours, as stated originally stated. I dunno where or how i got that figure  ops:5 driving 2 sleeper 2 unloading _________ 9 hours used up on the 14 hour clock. After the 8 hours in the sleeper berth, he has 5 hours remaining before the 14 hour clock expires, which can be spent driving. At that point, he must stop for 2 hours: 5 driving 2 sleeper _______ 7 hours used up on the 14 hour clock. At that point, he can drive an additional 6 hours, at which point the 11 hour clock is used up. He must then stop for AT LEAST 8 hours before he can drive again. Your mistake, BC, is that you aren't counting the 2 hours sleeper berth in the 14 hour clock. ANYTHING under 8 hours counts towards the 14 hour clock. Rev: The 2 hour does not extend the 14 hour clock, but he had the 8 hour break to complete the split 10! Therefore his 14 hour clock resets from the end of the 2 hour break, therefor he as an 8 hour sleeper break started within his "new" 14 hour period and has not used up any driving time. He has 11 hours to drive! 5 driving 2 sleeper 2 onduty 8 sleeper 14 resets from the end of the 2! count 14 hours after than! Look forward from the end of the 2; if you have 8 hours in the sleeper you can extend the 14 hour by the # of hours in the sleeper. He used no driving time in between the 8 & 2 therefore he has 11 to drive.
