8/2 Split

Started after 10hr off duty. Drove 6 rested 8, drove 4 rested two. Ran out of hours so rested 8, got some hrs back. My question, if I rest another 8 hr instead of 2hr does that reset my 14 hr?

Let me explain myself. In my example, I would drive the hours I got back and I'm asking after i drive those hours I can rest another 8hr instead of 2hr. Our would I be forced to stay down 10hr because I did not move after 2 hr.

I may be making this more complicated than it should be.

If you rest another 8 hours you'll get back what you had when you just clicked SB. Literally take a picture of your HoS that first minute you go on SB and that's exactly what you'll get after 8 consecutive hours of SB.

And to answer your question, if you do another 8 hours of SB that won't reset your 14 hour clock. The only thing that resets your 14 hour clock is a full 10 hour break.

Daniel, do we need to pre/post trip on those 8/2 sections? Or we considered those sections continuous of the previous driving?

An 8 hr break resets your 14, a 10 hr break resets your 11

Charles, I usually include a pre/post inspection. Better safe than sorry. It won't mess up your split.

Michael, you got that wrong buddy. An 8 hour break doesn't reset anything. It simply gives you what you had the moment you went on SB. It does not reset any clock to the maximum amount allowed (11/14). A 10 hour break does though.

8 hr. sleeper resets 14 hr clock. 10 or 8 + 2 hr sleeper resets 11 hr.

The way I understand it, when you do the 8/2 split, your 8 hour SB does not count towards your 14 hours, but it does not reset your 14 hours either. The 2 hour break will count towards your 14 hours. Am I wrong?

Persian, you got it down.

8 hours of SB does not fully reset any clock, including the 14 hour clock. It simply gives you what you already had. If doing 8 hours of SB would give you a full 11/14 then why would anyone be on SB for a full 10 hours?

8 hrs reset the 14, 10 hrs reset the 11. this is what i get from reading the regs. does anyone have the regs to show me where i am misunderstanding this.
