Example #5 ----14 Hour Rule using only one sleeper to extend 14 hours, then going Off-Duty. Exception to the rule.
Day 1.
Day 2.
BOTH THESE LOGS ARE LEGAL In this example of a 2-day trip the driver is splitting off-duty time in the sleeper berth. While it appears on Day 2 that the driver is using the sleeper berth from 2-7 AM for a single rest period, and the driver has driven past 14 consecutive hours, (11:00 AM - 1:00 PM) it is not a violation of the 14 consecutive hour rule. This is because the driver has been legally splitting his off duty time in the sleeper berth during this 2-day trip. PLEASE NOTE: As long as there are 2 or more legal sleeper berth periods that equal 10 hours, during a trip, the driver may go off duty for 10 consecutive hours or more (but not less than 10 consecutive hours) at the end of his trip without creating a violation of the 14 consecutive hours rule. This is covered in the Memorandum Dated 25-November-2003 from John Hill. Issue #2 Two things have to happen here so there is no violation. Failure to have both will result in a violation. 1. There must be 2 sleeper berth periods that equal 10 hours. You can use the extender as long as when it is added to the prior sleeper equal 10 hours, the extender is still valid, If it doesn't then the 2 prior sleepers berths, before the extender must equal 10 hours, and 2. You must take 10 consecutive and uninterrupted hours off-duty before driving again.
