Synopsis

Mastering Split Logging: A Truck Driver's Guide gives commercial drivers a straightforward, no-nonsense way to use the split sleeper berth rule without fear of violations. Veteran trainer Terence Mullins breaks down FMCSA Hours of Service in plain language, then shows exactly how 7/3 and 8/2 splits work with real-world scenarios, traffic delays, dock holdups, weather, team driving, and more.

Drivers, fleet managers, and CDL instructors will learn how to pause the 14-hour clock correctly, recalculate remaining drive time, avoid the most common split logging mistakes, and use ELDs correctly. With checklists, examples, and a practical glossary, this guide helps you stay compliant, protect your record, and stay in control of your schedule.

Perfect for solo and team drivers who want to run smarter, not just harder.
