DOT 7/3 split sleeper berth

[@empressforlife6123]

Finally a Split Sleeper video that doesn’t explain it as if your at the shipper for 3 hrs etc. you were on the road and did it. Thanks so much. This worked if your just tired and needed that break or sleep so you can drive again then get your SB time

[@browser37]

Right every video is running with that same explanation lol

[@intrinsicwizard]

i feel like if you know nothing about splits this may still be confusing but after studying them heavily through writing and then watching this video it actually makes very good sense. Thanks for the video.

[@50plustrucker]

Much love to ya my friend thanks for watching

[@lonelypuppy1980]

WTF? You just saved my butt. Just started trucking last week and never knew the check mark pair sb stops the duty clock. I've been here for 8 hours in sleeper berth panicking like crazy watching that stupid duty clock run out. Until I hit the button pair sb like you just showed. Bam! 7 hours added back on! Thank you sir!

[@davidhunter8157]

So basically this rule is to just help you get to your next stop or give you your on duty hours that weren't used. Then it'll be a safer bet to just do a full 10 to get all your hours back. Thanks very informal video

Yes and you will get used to how it work after you start using it regularly

I've been using split for years but since the new rule came and that check box im afraid to use it. My only question is when do you uncheck the box? After the 7hrs or after 10hrs after running off the split?

Never uncheck the box. Once you’re using the split run the regained time out then take a 10.

To get a "fresh clock" though You'd need 10 consecutive hours The 7 would just get you back what you used before the 3 hours

[@scottstewart8737]

After the 3

[@srjsamsam]

@@scottstewart8737 if you drive for 5 hours, take 3 hours off duty, then drive for 4 more hours, and go into sleeper berth for 7 hours, you only gain 5 hours of drive time If there was a 30 minute pretrip at the beginning, you would also gain 30 minutes of on duty time (not driving) The split sleeper is a "rolling clock" so to speak, kind of like how your 70 hour clock will roll over after you hit the 8th day, whatever time you had on the first day will roll back into your 70 hours So you have 2 hours left on your 70, your first day you were on duty for 9.5 hours, after midnight you will have 11.5 hours left on your 70, but to get a "fresh clock" you'd need to take a full 34 hour reset Same with the split sleeper, you'll gain time back, but only what you used at the beginning, not everything. You can only gain ALL your hours when doing a FULL reset/ rest

[@EVNL576]

@@srjsamsam can I log the 7 hours Off Duty or it has to be Sleeper Berth?

[@srjsamsam]

@@EVNL576 the 7 hour minimum has to be sleeper, the shorter break just has to be off duty

[@questkiddy1]

I don't see what the will pair button does? the same thing happens when you don't have it selected.

[@MrMannyvillegas]

So…always have the box checked?

[@50plustrucker]

That’s what I do and teach my students how to do it also

[@trehdo9857]

Can you do a 7/3 Like run your 8 hours then go to sleeper& waiting 7 hours to get time back instead of taking your 30 min break to get rest of your 3 hours ? Then take your remainder of the 3 hours later to finish your 10?

[@50plustrucker]

Yes but after you do the 3 hours to finish the 10 you don’t get the full reset so be careful

[@Bendigo1]

That is actually an efficient way to do things if you can make it to where you are going in the 3 hours left of driving and know you will be able to take the remaining break before you run out of time. I use that method a lot with the runs I do to avoid city traffic but pickup and deliver on time. The 30 minute break can waste a lot of time in a week. So if you can avoid taking it.

[@kimekoprettygirltrucker915]

Hey, how are you? I have a question about this. I know you know the answer

[@steezy7460]

Do a pre trip after SB?

[@Bendigo1]

Good idea to log at least a short inspection to make sure everything is good to go. Dot does not like to see duty status that goes straight from driving to sb or sb to driving. It indicates that you wake up and take off. Or that you are not logging the duty to match what you actually did.

[@ajpowers8672]

I got 50min left of 11hour clock... I got 2 hours left on my 14hour clock...if I go into sleeper birth for 7hours how much time will I have to drive in 7hours?

[@50plustrucker]

If I understand you correctly you will only get 50 minutes because it’s all you have remaining in your workday

[@presidenthood]

Hey I don’t get how you got the 8hours to go to 11

[@50plustrucker]

Do you have 11 hours available to work but you can only work eight consecutive hours before you have to take a 30 minute break and after the 30 minute break you can drive the remaining three hours

[@nevergiveup7502]

As a trucker do you have time to workout during your mandatory rest periods? And what do you do to unwind while on the road?

[@50plustrucker]

There’s lots of truck drivers with KZbin page is showing how they exercise and work out during their 10 hour break therefore it’s definitely viable option however I just tend to relax in the truck a.m. manage my other businesses and watch a little TV. Some bring video games to play. The possibilities are endless

[@nunytrucking]

Nice video i hve a question you can also be in the sleeper for 2 hours and it also gonna stop the clock as you did in this video with the 7/3 ? Just then we have to sleep 8 hours to complete the 8/2 right ?

[@50plustrucker]

Yes

[@scottstewart8737]

You can be off duty on the 3

[@brendabull8731]

When do you unclick the will pair SB??

[@50plustrucker]

I’ll answer your question in today’s video

[@kangarootrucker]

You can go 3 hours off duty or sleeper. But you’ll need to do 7 hours, in Sleeper status, in this example, to complete you 3/7 split. Or just do 10 hr break off duty to reset your clock.

[@50plustrucker]

Yes you would have to do a 10 hour uninterrupted break to completely reset your clock

[@foad664]

Will pair SB means ?

[@50plustrucker]

The system automatically pair the split sleeper. 7/3 sleeper and 8/2 sleeper

[@carolynwilliams4481]

So you could only do a three hour split you can’t go late or five hours because I’m not sure what time they’re going to finish loading

So the 3 hours that you used were counted against your 14 total with the 7. Which is why you didn’t have 14 hours of on duty time until you reached the 10 hours consecutive. This split time sleeper can make your head explode 🤯

[@50plustrucker]

That’s not exactly correct with consecutive 10 hours but the splits sleeper is designed to retain unused hours

[@Bendigo1]

The 3 hours pauses the 14 hour clock. The only time you lose is the time between the 7 and 3 hour breaks and anything past the second break until you complete another 10 hour break.

[@lifeasReno]

You got it backwards Its the 7/3 spilt 3 hrs stops the clock doesn't add time 7 hrs sleeper adds time

Your opinion on that would change after do you become a driver and drive over the road for a little bit of experience. You’ll see guys driving tired and the mistakes. You’ll see the carnage and death from wrecks and your opinion on sleepy driving and cell phone use while driving will change dramatically. Time limits are in place because of drivers being forced by companies to drive sleepy. Companies took it vantage of drivers in the past and I have no defense but these laws protect the drivers and the driving public.
