Yep, but if one is working it has become far more difficult to plan than it used to be.

especially that unplanned crap....held up at shippers, traffic/scales and such
We have yet to realize any benefit to rejecting a reset. Have tried it a couple of times, to no good use. I much preferred the "old days" We reset at the same time and ran out of hours at the same time. Always knew what was up. I very much need "simple".
Why not just make sure each driver does no more than 10 hours a shift @ 7 days a week then you always have 10 available !!!!
oh boy did you leave the door open.....LOL
That is what we do. There have been "occasions" where it does not always work. Sleep time often get "messed up" when there are loading/unloading "issues" etc.
It is due to all the concussions I had when I was a "Yout". Besides, The door has to be left open pretty wide for some of the YEAHOO's in here to have some fun! It has to be made "obvious" for them.

Rejecting last week MAY have let you reset earlier this week.
You may have reset by Sun 0500 instead of Mon 0500.
Then you may have called it a year and raced home to be with Dad tonight.
It may have worked, it may not have.
It's a difficult choice to make on our dispatch system.

But the video camera does. Maybe sign in sheets.
In a typical day to day situation they would never be questioned.
If a drunk hits you and dies and the investigation shows you were a little creative, then you're guilty !
Not right, just modern day law.
I always try to act like my safety guy is in the jump seat.

and what does that have to do with loading/unloading...
turn the darn camera off....LOL
Yes, we can still do a split sleeper, it's just that the first period has to be 8 [or more] hours, which makes it mostly unworkable. I've done it a few times, but it's ridiculously complicated, and nowhere near as useful as it was when we could take 2 hours and stop the [&#$!$@] 14 hour clock.
Now they are proposing to do a 'study' on the split sleeper - um, isn't that something they should have done before changing it the first time?!
