Split Break Warranty For Free

The split sleeper berth rule allows a truck driver to extend a shift by splitting the required 10 consecutive hours of off-duty time into two shifts. This means that drivers can adjust their schedules for longer hauls or warehouse hours by ?dropping in? a rest break to comply with driving hour limitations.

?To take advantage of this provision, a driver must spend at least 8 consecutive hours (but less than 10) in their sleeper berth. This rest period will not count as part of their 14 on-duty hours. The driver can then take a second, separate rest period of at least 2 consecutive hours (but less than 10).

You start driving again at 11 a.m. and you drive for four more hours until 3 p.m. You follow this up with eight hours in the sleeper berth for the second half of your split sleeper break. This is an example of an 8/2 split sleeper day with three hours of on-duty time and 10 hours of drive time.

TEAM DRIVING FLEXIBILITY They can do 7 and 3 instead. Up to 3 hours in the passenger seat of a moving commercial motor vehicle, immediately before or after 7-consecutive hours in the sleeper berth, can be logged as off-duty time for a 10-consecutive hour break.

Truck drivers have to follow regulations that govern how many hours they can drive per day, how to log their hours and how often they need to take breaks. The split sleeper berth rule allows a truck driver to extend a shift by splitting the required 10 consecutive hours of off-duty time into two shifts.

The 7/3 sleeper berth split: In a 7/3 split, you start with 7 consecutive hours off in sleeper berth status and then complete your required break by taking your next 3 hours later in the day. Similar to the 2/8 split, you can take a 3/7 sleeper berth as well.

You start driving again at 11 a.m. and you drive for four more hours until 3 p.m. You follow this up with eight hours in the sleeper berth for the second half of your split sleeper break. This is an example of an 8/2 split sleeper day with three hours of on-duty time and 10 hours of drive time.
