How does the 82 sleeper berth work?
How does the 82 sleeper berth work? At 8 a.m., the driver starts driving and drives until 1 p.m. He has now used 5 hours of the 11-hour drive time and 6 hours of his 14-hour clock. At this point, the driver takes an 8-hour break in the sleeper berth. This time, taken in the sleeper, effectively stops the 14-hour clock.
Can a driver go off duty while being unloaded?
The only time you're supposed to be allowed to not be on duty while waiting is if you've disconnected from your trailer and are free to leave the customer's property. This is true. You are officially off duty when you are able to shut the truck down, walk away and go see a movie or something.
Does 10 hours in the sleeper berth reset your 14?
At the end of the 10 consecutive hours of combined sleeper and/or off-duty time, your 11-hour driving and 14-hour duty-period limits would completely restart.
