No. You would have to do a 10 at that point. You can only use the split as one 10 hour break, split in two. You need to have hours left when you start a split. Because it doesn't reset the clock until both breaks are finished.

Can't be on duty.
I sorry but still cannot understand what you are saying, this is my first sleep split. Today I slept for 8 hours and drove 7 hours and I went Off Duty for 2 hours and my Shift clock is still ticking, does Shift clock must pause when I go Off Duty?
At 4:49 you stated that if the driver rests 7 hours after 11pm. he would regain 6 hours back. How would you regain 6 hours if you've already used 6 between 5pm and 11pm? I believe you'd meant to say 5.
I see few flaws in the video. At 4:18 did you mean 4 minutes or 4 hours in duty? At 4:45 I'm confused. Why are you showing the logs from before September updated rules and saying "if driver had exhausted his hours at 11 PM? Should've showed examples of logs instead of truck pictures. We see plenty of trucks in the road.
Where in the FMCSA green book does it say word for word that you can pause your 14 hour window for up to 3 hours if you are off duty or sleeper for at leat two hours. Like what part and or sub part because the company im driving for says they never heard of that.

Having driven over 20+years, in my experience using this makes a driver very exhausted. Its like taking a energy drink all day and the come down is hard to recover. The body is not used to sleeping in an erratic pattern and I fully believe this contributes to driver fatigue. I get tired, you know what I do, ..I go to sleep!. Now driving trucks already has a general notion of not having a working and living pattern thats 9-5... I get it. But to want to make it worse by driving the split break and figuring out when to use it is ridiculous. Government needs to get out of telling drivers when to drive, break, sleep and shit. Its uptimately up to the driver if they are going to make it or not. The world is not goimg to stop spinning if a load is late. GOD FORBID. Idiots like when the pandemic hit and rushed the grocery stores for toilet paper are the problem!
I wished this would be like it has been explained but I just found in the FMCSA website a Q&A pdf and it says that "when used together" none of the periods count against the 14 hr window. If together means consecutively then we are out of luck and cant stop our clock.
Your comment is contradictory to the new Split Sleeper Berth Rule. The combinations of rest pairings must equal 10hrs or more, the greater rest period has to be logged in the sleeper berth, and the combination of drive time and on-duty time before and after any break cannot violate the 14hr and driving rules. It truly is designed to just pause the 14hr clock and allow a fatigued driver the opportunity to rest without getting penalized by eating into their work day (14hr) clock.
No. You can ONLY pause your 14hr clock 2-3hrs, no more. It doesn’t matter if you take 4hrs because it will only pause it up to 3hrs. Example. On duty 0600 means your 14 is up by 2000 (8pm) Drive 0630-1230 Off duty or Sleeper 1230-1530 NOW 14hr clock is up at 2300 (11pm) because you “paused” it for 3hrs. At that point you can either take a normal 10hr break off duty or attempt a split of 7hrs in sleeper (but that’s a whole other issue to be learned.)
so basically if I need to pause the clock because of traffic or something I can just pull over for a couple 3 hours and then continue on and run my day is normal and take ten off when I'm at my 14, AWESOME!!!!!!
This isn't working on Geotab. So keep an eye on this. UPDATE- FOR GEOTAB USERS, IN ORDER FOR THE SPLIT SLEEPER TO WORK LIKE IT SHOULD, YOUR COMPANY ADMINISTRATOR HAS TO GO IN AND CHANGE THE HOURS OF SERVICE RULE SET FOR EACH AND EVERY DRIVER, THE ONE THAT INCLUDES THE SPLIT SLEEPER BECAUSE THIS IS APPARENTLY THE COMPANY'S CHOICE TO LET YOU USE A SPLIT SLEEPER OR NOT.
Update: this new rule rocks I've been using it a lot, long as I stop for a 2 hours minimum it's like I never stopped once I'm up again I still have exactly the time left to drive, and work or break, that I started with when I first stopped, I love this it's excellent! 😎👍 Of course, I'll go off for 10 once I've gotten my 11 drive in for the shift!

Great for working at night. BTW do I need a minimum amount of hours driven for split sleeper to become available, some places take about 4 hours to load.
@@ronaldjohnson7962 what if you accidently went on drive then went off duty for a flat tire which took three hours to fix, then needed another off duty freeze of the 14? Does it still keep counting down?
@@Joe_334 after two hours the clock stops. When you move again it starts back. You only can use it once. So when you drive again after taking at least a two hour break you can’t start another one.
@@TruckinRoundTv It will satisfy as part of the 3hr break combination, therefore if you choose to exercise the split sleeper berth option you will be required to log a minimum of 7hrs in the sleeper berth upon your next rest period.
If you had that many hours to start with then yes, but if you drove for 5 hours after a 10 hr break then took 8 sleeper. You would only have 6hrs to drive before needing to do a 2hr break. Any break less than 2 hours does not count for the split sleeper rule.
@@Bendigo1 So, lets say I drove 4 hours. Then I'm stuck at a shipper for an additional 4 hours. How long can I drive when I leave the shipper? Then next day, do I have to take a 4 hr break or would the 10hr sleeper be sufficient?
@@drivingdaily9560 If you used the 4 hours, Or even 2 of the 4 hours at the shipper as a 2 or 3 hour sleeper or off duty break. You would have 14-4drivetime, so 10 hours on the 14 and 7 drive time. Then subtract any other on duty time you had since starting the clock. After you do at least a 2 hour break You would have anything left that you had before starting the break. You can continue to work until that time runs out, then take a 7 or 8 in sleeper so that it combined with the short break equals at least 10. After the sleeper break. You would have only the time left after you subtract the on duty/driving time you used between the short break and sleeper break. You no not have to only spend 8 hours in sleeper but can go off duty AFTER the 8 sleeper for 2 more hours and get a full 10. Or you can use the time you got back to drive some more, then take a short break again like the previous day but will not get the full clock back.
@@Bendigo1 So, I ended up off the clock at the shipper about 6.5 hrs. I pressed on the Split button and it gave me 6.5 hours to drive and 7.5 on my 14. I only drove 4.5 that morning. I got to Baker, and shut down for my 10. Had a full clock the next morning! It worked for what I needed.
This is good but I can see alot of drivers standing outside somewhere with no sleep and falling asleep at 3am , I guess it's like anything else though you have to use good judgment and common sense ( Something a lot of truck drivers don't possess anymore)
@@rpruneau68 It actually does not matter. You can take 8 hours off duty and then do 7 in the sleeper. As long as you have at least 7 in sleeper and the off duty is less than 10 hours it is still counts.
@@Bendigo1 It does matter, because you wouldn't be allowed to take 7hrs off-duty and continue to operate a CMV legally. I will concede the scenario above that you proposed is correct but it will be extremely rare and not really beneficial to have consecutive split sleeper berth rest periods greater than 7 & 8 hours continuously. The logic being, if you had breaks of 5hrs and 9hrs the greater one is required to be spent in sleeper berth or the driver will be in violation.
@@rpruneau68 The only limit on how long the off duty period can be is if the person is in the passenger seat as in running teams. The rule says that the combination of the two periods must include a sleeper birth period of AT LEAST 7 hours and a rest period of AT LEAST 2 hours with total of the two being AT LEAST 10 hours. There is no mention of the first or second or longer or shorter break needing to be in the sleeper. An example of when that could be used is if a driver is making a delivery near home. If the driver parks in the staging area of the customer with 7 hours driving and 8 hours on the 14, they take a 7 hour sleeper birth break to wait for delivery appointment, then spend 2 hours on duty delivering and drive 2 hours to drive home. They can then log off duty and go home and stay off duty for a 34 and still meet the split sleeper conditions.
Good video only 2 problems I saw. First, the example driver logs aren't showing pretrip inspections. Second, don't most people need to use the facilities after getting more than a nap? This off duty time isn't being showed either. Other than that great video.
That's not an accurate statement. The revised sleeper berth rule was enabled to PAUSE the work day clock and allow fatigued drivers the opportunity to rest during their shift and not get penalized for doing so. It really is a good thing an allows the driver more options to manage their time when they are fatigued or get held up midday from a shipper/receiver/traffic/weather/personal.
If you really think about it, it just makes your day get longer and you still get punished and have to sleep the full ten hours to get your time back instead of just sleeping the 7 or 8 hours with the split and getting all your time back. Too much common sense to do shhhiit right.
The whole point is to allow for a fatigued driver to stop for a break and NOT get penalized for doing so since their work day clock is paused. Of course it will ultimately take longer to get to the destination but the new HOS split sleeper berth rule is much better and makes more sense since it doesn't force tired drivers to continue traveling in order to preserve their work day.
@@rpruneau68 I appreciate your reply it makes since. If you sleep for 2 to 3 hours got to where you were gonna get in five hours. Why would you have to sleep another ten to get your hours back? This would make sense to a trucker.
@@joseholguin661 The two scenarios that come to mind are the following: 1. A full 10hr rest period would reset your workday (14hr) clock and drive (11hr) time. 2. In order to legally return to duty and operate a CMV from a split sleeper berth rest period that extends the 14hr clock the driver need only satisfy the compliment of the combination rest period requirements. A mouthful yes. Simply put; if the driver rested for 2 or 3 hrs off-duty or sleeper berth, then they would be required to rest a minimum of 8 or 7 hrs logged IN SLEEPER BERTH in order to extend their 14hr clock. This scenario would NOT gain the driver a full reset since they are merely splitting their on-duty and drive time between rest periods.

You would have only the time left after you subtract the on duty/driving time you used between the short break and sleeper break.
You no not have to only spend 8 hours in sleeper but can go off duty AFTER the 8 sleeper for 2 more hours and get a full 10.
Or you can use the time you got back to drive some more, then take a short break again like the previous day but will not get the full clock back.
@@Bendigo1 So, I ended up off the clock at the shipper about 6.5 hrs. I pressed on the Split button and it gave me 6.5 hours to drive and 7.5 on my 14. I only drove 4.5 that morning. I got to Baker, and shut down for my 10. Had a full clock the next morning! It worked for what I needed.
I do not understand this
This is good but I can see alot of drivers standing outside somewhere with no sleep and falling asleep at 3am ,
I guess it's like anything else though you have to use good judgment and common sense
( Something a lot of truck drivers don't possess anymore)
Thought it all had to be sleeper berth rather than off-duty.
7 or 8 sleeper the rest can be off duty or sleeper. A total of at least 10 hours combined.
@@Bendigo1 The larger of the combination is to be logged in Sleeper Berth.
@@rpruneau68 It actually does not matter. You can take 8 hours off duty and then do 7 in the sleeper. As long as you have at least 7 in sleeper and the off duty is less than 10 hours it is still counts.
@@Bendigo1 It does matter, because you wouldn't be allowed to take 7hrs off-duty and continue to operate a CMV legally. I will concede the scenario above that you proposed is correct but it will be extremely rare and not really beneficial to have consecutive split sleeper berth rest periods greater than 7 & 8 hours continuously. The logic being, if you had breaks of 5hrs and 9hrs the greater one is required to be spent in sleeper berth or the driver will be in violation.
@@rpruneau68 The only limit on how long the off duty period can be is if the person is in the passenger seat as in running teams. The rule says that the combination of the two periods must include a sleeper birth period of AT LEAST 7 hours and a rest period of AT LEAST 2 hours with total of the two being AT LEAST 10 hours. There is no mention of the first or second or longer or shorter break needing to be in the sleeper.
An example of when that could be used is if a driver is making a delivery near home. If the driver parks in the staging area of the customer with 7 hours driving and 8 hours on the 14, they take a 7 hour sleeper birth break to wait for delivery appointment, then spend 2 hours on duty delivering and drive 2 hours to drive home. They can then log off duty and go home and stay off duty for a 34 and still meet the split sleeper conditions.
Good video only 2 problems I saw. First, the example driver logs aren't showing pretrip inspections. Second, don't most people need to use the facilities after getting more than a nap? This off duty time isn't being showed either.
Other than that great video.
I have a HEADACHE🤯🤪🤯
Me too, I just cant get it
Same, things can never be simple 😖
so they just made a 16 hour day. . . how does this help drivers? Companies are just going to force drivers to drive while tired more often now. Great!
Actually it can make it safer. The driver can now stop for 2 or 3 hours to take a nap without worrying about draining their 14 hour clock.
That's not an accurate statement. The revised sleeper berth rule was enabled to PAUSE the work day clock and allow fatigued drivers the opportunity to rest during their shift and not get penalized for doing so. It really is a good thing an allows the driver more options to manage their time when they are fatigued or get held up midday from a shipper/receiver/traffic/weather/personal.
Maybe, we should just be paid more
these red 3 hours are violation Cuz our aplication need to be reprogrammed..😀
I'm getting a fkn headache..
If you really think about it, it just makes your day get longer and you still get punished and have to sleep the full ten hours to get your time back instead of just sleeping the 7 or 8 hours with the split and getting all your time back. Too much common sense to do shhhiit right.
The whole point is to allow for a fatigued driver to stop for a break and NOT get penalized for doing so since their work day clock is paused. Of course it will ultimately take longer to get to the destination but the new HOS split sleeper berth rule is much better and makes more sense since it doesn't force tired drivers to continue traveling in order to preserve their work day.
@@rpruneau68 I appreciate your reply it makes since. If you sleep for 2 to 3 hours got to where you were gonna get in five hours. Why would you have to sleep another ten to get your hours back? This would make sense to a trucker.
@@joseholguin661 The two scenarios that come to mind are the following:
1. A full 10hr rest period would reset your workday (14hr) clock and drive (11hr) time.
2. In order to legally return to duty and operate a CMV from a split sleeper berth rest period that extends the 14hr clock the driver need only satisfy the compliment of the combination rest period requirements. A mouthful yes. Simply put; if the driver rested for 2 or 3 hrs off-duty or sleeper berth, then they would be required to rest a minimum of 8 or 7 hrs logged IN SLEEPER BERTH in order to extend their 14hr clock. This scenario would NOT gain the driver a full reset since they are merely splitting their on-duty and drive time between rest periods.
⚠️WARNING: Motive software is not compliant with HOS law and falsely violates drivers that take qualifying rest periods and not recognizing the pausing of their HOS clocks
Defund fmcsa and please join Ooida 😎🇺🇸😎
too much information, running thru my brain, Im just going to do my 10 hour break, or else im going insane!
What they need to do is stop the drive time clock from going down while sitting in sleeper berth. That shit is stupid
Harder to understand than rocket science.
It really isn't.
????
Defund fmcsa please join Ooida make trucking great again
