This was really good. My trainer refused to teach me about split breaks. Then I had to use a split break my first time out on my own and I had no idea what I was doing. Thanks for this video.
After 22 years on the road I was forced into a situation where I had to learn how to do a split sleeper berth. I’ve always been on paper logs since I’ve owned a glider since before the Elog mandate went into effect but I’m not a good liar as far as running 2 log books and found this video tonight to help me understand how it works and do it correctly. This was the best explanation I’ve found.
We have been trying for so long to understand the 8/2 split... out of ALL of the NUMEROUS videos we have watched, yours is the ONLY one that helped us understand this fully!!! I love the diagram. I am a visual learner and this helped so much!! Thank you!!!
Brother, THANK YOU for taking your PERSONAL time out of much needed rest to explain this to us. I understand this 8/2 split a lot better. Thanks to your video I can go over the material to have it sink in my hard head. BE SAFE!
Thanks brother I've been driving 25 years and never could understand the 8-2 split and never used it, that by far is the best explanation I have seen or heard and may try it now Thanks again
I can think of 2 good uses for this. 1. To start your route or 2. To spend less time "sleeping" and more time mid shift on a break instead of 30 minutes. I'll explain incase that sounds useful, but first to shoot down anybody trying to gain drive time... The time between the two 8 hour SB resets will equal the time between your normal 10 hour resets... exept your only using 13.5 hours of your 14 hour clock (8 and 2 but no 30 minute break because it's included in the 2 hour part, as long as you don't go 8 consecutive hours on duty) ...anyways... you can't gain time unless you really work that 30 minutes per shift. Sooo to start your route. If you were up for 6 hours waiting on a load. You can take it, leave, shut down 4 hours later to sleep "8 hour SB reset." Get up and have 10 hours on your 14 clock and 7 on drive time. Drive 5 hours and stop to rest/eat/GO SHOPPING/etc for 2 hours. Those 4 fell off. So now you have 6 hours drive time and 7 left on your 14 clock. Next stop could be your regular 10 hour rest or keep rolling your long breaks and short bed times. I left out pre and post trips... so they will eat your 14 clock.
Thank you for jumping right in without the extra useless pointless mumbo jumbo token. In my personal opinion when someone makes an informative video to where someone is learning something they should get straight to the point versus a daily blog you can talk all you want
You’re are welcome. Trust me I have some of those mumbo jumbo videos to 😂😂 it took me some time to learn how to just shut up and talk about what the video is about 😂😂 I’m glad it helped you out 💚💚
Thanks for your explanation. I took pics of my eld last week at the start of each split to try to figure how much time I'd gain after each break, then another pic after each break to track what was gained. After watching this video, the times gained now make sense. God bless and thanks for taking the time to teach others!
Bro, I don’t have good listening skills English, but you make easy understand bc you do slowly and with good pronunciation, also you use subtitles… your explanation is amazing thank you very much.
I have been in the trucking industry for 11 years and owner operator for the past 3 years and I have never ever understood the principle of a split break...... This is the very 1st explanation I have never come across that I can actually understand..... The hours do jump around like a spider on its Web.... And I do not like that part of it but at least I can follow your examples... Thank you for taking time out to do stuff like this for people like myself
As a flatbed driver I usually spend well over 3 hours every day working and not driving. I feel like it gets more complicated in my situation because my 14 hour clock is what limits me, not my 11. Considering how the 2 hour break doesn't stop my 14 hour clock, i feel like i could be robbing myself of more time. What good is my 6 hours of extra drive time if I only have 2 hours left on my 14? I feel I could seriously mess up my week trying this so I've always been hesitant to try haha
I also drive Stepdeck and I run on a split probably 75% or the time for that same reason. I hate when my 14 hr clock limits me. So I run on a split so I don’t lose my drive time.
Your 2 hour break DOES pause your clock as of 2023. It may not have when this video was released, since I know there were some rule changes a few years ago.
Thank you brother! I was so confused about drive time and you just explained everything so simple. Appreciate you and your efforts to help us truckers.
Great explanation and we could easily get confused. However the guy did miss one thing which is crucial and that’s the little button on the main HOS page The one that says “will pair SB” you must press, tick the box for all of this to work, otherwise it won’t and you will have to revert back to the full 10 hr sleeper berth rule only. I got that little snippet of advice from another instructor on UA-cam. BTW that applies to Omnitracs. Good luck guys.
Good video dude that’s how you explain the split sleeper rule I didn’t realize the time b4 the splits drop off, other UA-cam videos never explain it like that, now I get it.
FYI You don't necessarily have to do an 8-2, 2-8. You can do any combination between 2-3 Off and 7-8 SLEEPER. For ex. 2:20 OFF and 7:40 SLEEPER. As long as it totals 10 hrs.
@@TruckingLife this is very interesting explanation of HOS for drivers. But I am curious, did you make a mistake in your last example at 16:35? Your example at this point you have a 2 hour break, 1 hour on duty not, 3 hours driving and the 8 hour berth for a total of 6 total hours on duty. You then said you have 8 hour drive time and 2 hour of on duty not driving time. Wouldn't that make it a total of 16 hours on your 14 hour clock? 2+1+3+8+2=16? Yes you can get in 8 hours of driving since you only have 3 total before but if you do that wouldn't you need another 2 hour break or would you need another 8 hours berth time to reset the 14 hour clock?
It is very possible I made a mistake. I will have to watch it again. It has been a min since I made this video. Thanks for letting me know either way. It was late when I recorded this and had been a long day. I should probably do an updated one that is a little newer.
The best explanation I have heard. Thanks. I always have been intimidated to utilize the split berth and only because every body made it very confusing but you did a phenomenal job. 👍🏽
Thank you. I’m glad I could help. I use the split a lot now days. Especially cause it does not count down your 14 hour clock anymore. So I can set at a shipper or receiver and not stress.
Thank you! You answered my question at the end if I can do the 8 hour first. I really appreciate it. But I'm the grammar police lol its Berth not Birth 😂
That was great and it worked good being tired cuz you explained it slow cuz let's face it most people are watching this while they are driving to the shipper or receiver hoping the can work some magic
This is the second time I have watched your videos yes this is the simplest video out on this but I just wanted to refresh myself and remember I'm going to get me a board so that way I can write down my stuff it's just much easier because these elds and get confusing so I figure having the board would help me anyways so thank you for making these videos I hope you're staying safe☺🙏🏼💞
Pretty sure the 2 hour break not stopping the 14 has changed now. If I have 5 hours left and I park for 2 my 14 will run that 2 hours until I hit my 2 hour mark and immediately returns to 5 hours.
I have always calculated between the breaks then subtract from the full clock, I read the dot book but was confused untill a driver showed me on paper log when I first started driving. Dot book makes it confusing I guess because I couldn't see it
Thank you sir this is so much more clearer and very simple to follow my trucking school could never explain it anymore simpler than this they at least in my case they seem like a complete Egyptian hieroglyphics to me but now thanks to you very much uncover the veil for me if every instructor is able to convey all subject this way in schools it will be a lot less stressful. Big two thumbs up for your video sir 👍 👌 👏 👍
Thanks for the lesson. I like your use of graph. I think that will help me by doing the same. Less confusing that way. Appreciate your effort and time. Stay safe brother
This is the best explanation but how do you calculate your on duty hours you're going to get back? It is probably the same way but I have a question I don't do a lot of on duty time unless I'm driving I usually go to sleep at bertth do you get any of that time back if you log it as sleeper berth?
So in order to use this split, I need to click on the "will pair SB" and stay that way ? What about the consignee unloading time takes 5 hours and I mark that 5 hrs as sleeper berth? Will I just take the next 5 hrs to keep it rolling, or I still need at least consecutive 7 hrs sleeper time for it to work? After all, DOT wants to make sure driver to have 7 hrs continued sleeping time?
Hi, i think the example on min 13:53 is wrong since u get 7 hrs on duty and driving and u state 9 hrs on dury. Where should be 7 hrs both ... Good video
Yesterday, I was told by H.R. that, I am not legally allowed, to use (your!) exact, birth sleeper, split method- knowing she was incorrect in her answer concerning this- (as, she has never driven a semi)btw, so, I bite my lip, and simply nodded in agreement- taking it to the main, boss man this am, to run this senerio past him, hoping to get a different answer- the right answer! this is my go to- to bring clarity to those still struggling with staying in compliance vs getting loads to receiver on time!! ty for this ! This, I feel, is an overbearing, intrusion, and an , oh so, vulgar display of power!-D.o.t
I know this is an old video, but towards the end you were counting your 2hrs. off duty towards your 14hrs. You were legal, but you still had 2 more hrs. if i understand this correctly. Am i right or wrong? I thought i was grasping it until the end. Thanks for the video and any response.
I have a question I came in with a fresh caught and I drove for 5 hours and 6 minutes if I go into the Sleeper Berth for 8 hours how much time does that give me in the morning of DriveTime right now I have 4 hours and 54 minutes of driving time left and 6 hours and 21 minutes on my 14-hour clock
I get the sleep split 8/2 and 7/3 and I actually split like 8/4, 7/6, all sorts of different combinations. I get that part My question is. What happens if you go 11 hours in sleep and then 4 hours off duty. The elog gives me a violation? Is it because the 10 hour rule override the sb split, ? As far as I know the 8, 7 hour sleeper is a minimum it can be longer right ? It could be just the way the elog is set I don't know Anyone got any 💡 ideas?
At 13:45 , you said 7 hours of driving is left after 2 hours of off duty , that is fine. But can he still take 2 hours of on-duty after that as you mentioned in the video because: 1 + 4 + 2 + 7 is already 14 which is the max for shift. Kindly reply . thanks a lot for the clear explanation.
@@TruckingLife Thank you for your reply. Kindly make video on New Sleeper Berth Rule If possible , can you explain the SB rule example on page 31 of this webinar by FMCSA csa.fmcsa.dot.gov/Documents/HOS_QA_Webinar_July2020.pdf
Ok so I started from a fresh 14. Im now at reciever with 2:30 left on 11 and 14. Im now in sleeper birth. What are my options? Does 2 hr in sb pause my 14?
Great explanation,but in real life you have to look for more often for parking spots which is real hardship this days.Every time ,elther I take 2hrs or 8 hrs break, I have to be somewhere in truck stop or rest area and find a vacant space to park and rest.But thank you anyway.Great video

I hear ya, 66 years here!
im 39 im i feel the same but this sneak trick its just to use it as an emergency in my opinion
Taking the breaks just takes time off the 10 hr consecutive.
Jesus….I actually understand this now….finally after all these years driving…great video!!

On the second diagram how did you come up with having 6 hours of drive time to work with?
I have always calculated between the breaks then subtract from the full clock, I read the dot book but was confused untill a driver showed me on paper log when I first started driving.

Hi, i think the example on min 13:53 is wrong since u get 7 hrs on duty and driving and u state 9 hrs on dury. Where should be 7 hrs both ... Good video
does the 8/2 or 7/3 split reset the 14? meaning how can you keep going if the 14 will be ran out from its starting point?
Man thank you for breaking it down like that. Finally UNDERSTAND. Thank you.

Finally a video that made sense, thank you
So if you drive for 5 hours, sleep for 8, drive for 2, then sleep for another 2. How much time would be left to drive on?
Zachary Conrad should be able to drive 9 hrs is mine guess but that's not good combination since you need to take 30min before 8hrs drive
I have a question I came in with a fresh caught and I drove for 5 hours and 6 minutes if I go into the Sleeper Berth for 8 hours how much time does that give me in the morning of DriveTime right now I have 4 hours and 54 minutes of driving time left and 6 hours and 21 minutes on my 14-hour clock
It stops ur clock and once u get the 8 hrs SB ...will give u the remaining hours to comple the 14 hrs shift and 11 driving
Does this work for running Recaps? Or will we have to do a 34 hour reset?
Since September 2020 short 2 or 3 break also stops clock. Good video.
Explained very well . However still pretty confusing unless you use this method alot..😅🤣👍
Thanks brother.
If I take my 30 minute break before my 8 hours are up, does that effect my split sleeper?
I drive mostly local. Don't need to worry about this. Once in awhile I'll have to do a overnight
There ya go. Living the dream huh? 😁
This was very helpful. Thank you, I've been struggling with this.
The new ELD that I got will add hours to my clock after my 2-hour break. It does not wait for my 8-hour break to occur. Is this correct?
I get the sleep split 8/2 and 7/3 and I actually split like 8/4, 7/6, all sorts of different combinations. I get that part
My question is. What happens if you go 11 hours in sleep and then 4 hours off duty. The elog gives me a violation?
Is it because the 10 hour rule override the sb split, ?
As far as I know the 8, 7 hour sleeper is a minimum it can be longer right ?
It could be just the way the elog is set I don't know
Anyone got any 💡 ideas?
Yes! Thank u ! This is the best video ive seen so far
Thanks.. You are welcome..
Best explanation by far
Thank you
Thank u my trainer explained it to me but everything during training went by so fast. And now I’m solo
I do 8 hour first sometimes... Then eventually do a 10. The REAL hard part is tracking recaps of splits
Do you do post trip before the 8hrs sleeper?
Yes sir
At 13:45 , you said 7 hours of driving is left after 2 hours of off duty , that is fine. But can he still take 2 hours of on-duty after that as you mentioned in the video because: 1 + 4 + 2 + 7 is already 14 which is the max for shift. Kindly reply . thanks a lot for the clear explanation.
I made a mistake and did not catch it. I plan on doing an updated video. Thank you for letting me know.
@@TruckingLife Thank you for your reply.
Kindly make video on New Sleeper Berth Rule
If possible , can you explain the SB rule example on page 31 of this webinar by FMCSA
csa.fmcsa.dot.gov/Documents/HOS_QA_Webinar_July2020.pdf
If I go to sleeper berth from PC will it reset my clock at the end of an 8 hour SB
I think that this takes a half an hour of break time and get you back on the road a half an hour earlier. Does anyone else confirm that?
Very well explained 👏🏼 💯
Ok so I started from a fresh 14. Im now at reciever with 2:30 left on 11 and 14. Im now in sleeper birth. What are my options? Does 2 hr in sb pause my 14?
Does the 2 hr work if my 14 hour is running because my 11 hour was eaten up by D.O.T chicken coop? 🐔 🤔
Will I get hours back if I do 2 hours off duty after doing 10 hour sleeper berth?
Thank you that was very helpful takes a lot of doubt away
Finally some one did 8-2 for dummy's lol thanks
Haha! It was a way I could understand it as well so I figured I would share. You’re welcome.
Does drive time have to be exact or do the minutes over the drive time calculate
All you do is take 2 hours in sleeper or off duty during shift than 8 straight sleeper or vice versa... but can you get your full 14/11 back
Yeah, just take a regular 10hr break and it will go back.
Great explanation,but in real life you have to look for more often for parking spots which is real hardship this days.Every time ,elther I take 2hrs or 8 hrs break, I have to be somewhere in truck stop or rest area and find a vacant space to park and rest.But thank you anyway.Great video
CAN YOU ELLABORATE ?? NOT SURE HOW YOU MEAN THE 8/2 SPLIT IS A CHALLENGE IN REGARDS TO PARKIING -- THANKS
You the best 🙏
