34 hour layover

Study split sleeper berth rules.
8 in the bunk, then it's like 8 hours ago.
Deliver, get the other 2 hrs which do not need to be in bunk.
Only off-duty.

Split won't work for solo. There is only line 1&2?

Oh well. I spend half my 70 hour week focusing on how NOT to get frustrated. :D

But alas, by the week-end? I just do the 34 hour and let the chips fall.

If one takes 8 hrs in the sleeper, it extends the 14 hr deadline by 8 hrs, at which point one must take the remaining 2 hrs off, then the full 14 is available again.
Example:
Drive 1000-1400. [4 hrs drive time.]
Sleep 1400- 2200.
@ 2200, can drive another 7 hrs [until 0500], then need to stop for 2 hrs.
At 0700, start with the full 11 drive/14 on duty available.

That is not correct. You don't start with a full 11/14 after the 2 hour break.

I think that's right. You have to begin another 10....don't you?

I wonder how many parents get up to feed a baby at night, then call into work and announce an absentee day because they never got their full 8 hours sleep?

Sorry boss, I just need to sleep another full 8 hours prior to any expected performance today. Little Johnny had me up for 15 minutes (unload time) and I just can't see my way to making it in.

See ya tomorrow!

Good grief. :rolleyes:

This is how I understand it as a solo and it works for a team also only going to show a solo

Go on duty drive 8
Take 2 off
Drive 3
Take of 8
repeat

This will gain you a half hour a day.

As a team the team member will work the opposite of you. If you keep doing this you are maxing out your hours and will have to take a 34 hour restart.

As a solo I saw that 3 hour window allow me to make a pu that I otherwise would have turned down.
