{"replyTo":"","text":"here's what I understand about this question...I've asked the exact same question:\nyes, you can run after 8 hrs...but you'll in a kinda way...need to shut down and take a 2hr break(basically the hours you need to of had in a 10hr re-birth)\nmy advice...don't do it unless under emergency...like if asked to leave from a location...least state you need a minimum of 8hrs to legally drive again....they can't force you into a violation","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Arakos I believe you are right.  You can only drive what time you had left over from your previous 14 hours that's why teams can easily use the 8-2rule because they dont use all there 14hrs  up switching off every 8 or 10 hours..  i just wish this rule was more define.  tks","replyToPid":0}

I tried to explain the split break to the officer but she was not willing to understand me. My ELD provider had to send some written explanation to the judge in Orange county TX

{"replyTo":"","text":"The only thing the split does is postpone your 14, you never get any extra hours and all time is calculated from the end of the first break. They've made it almost worthless. I miss the days when it could actually stop the clock with the 5/5.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Simple. The 8hr sleeper only pauses your 14 hour window. If you had driven 8hrs in 10hrs consecutive time after the 8hrs sleep you would have 3hrs drive time and 4hours in your 14. Plus, you need 2 hours off-duty/sleeper before you begin your 10 hour break.\n\nI recommend as a solo driver you avoid the sleeper rule.","replyToPid":0}
