Note
The feature is supported by US Federal and State rulesets. This is not supported for Canada rulesets because clocks are optimistic (pause proactively) by default.
To proactively pause shift clocks during split sleeper berth conditions, you can enable the Split Sleeper Toggle in the Samsara Driver App. When enabled, you can choose whether qualifying rest periods count toward or are excluded from your shift time, reducing the need to manually track Hours of Service (HOS) calculations.
With the updated behavior (mobile version 2612.200+), the toggle provides visibility and control throughout your shift, beginning at shift start and continuing through both qualifying rest periods. This helps you to make informed decisions earlier and adjust as your split sleeper attempt progresses.
To enable the Split Sleeper Toggle, perform the following workflow:
-
Log in to the Samsara Driver App.
-
Tap HoS > HOS Settings and enable Split Sleeper Toggle.
After you enable the Split Sleeper Toggle, a toggle displays under the HOS dials after you have completed one eligible split sleeper period in your shift:
When you enable the toggle, the shift pauses after the first eligible period until your status changes to On Duty. Samsara displays a note in the HOS log; however, Samsara recommends that you manually add a remark to the log to help during a roadside inspection to clarify the split sleeper scenario.
In the Samsara dashboard, your fleet administrator can see your split sleeper toggle in your driver log:
The Split Sleeper Berth toggle reflects your progress through a split sleeper attempt with the following states:
-
Inactive (start of shift): Toggle is visible but disabled until a qualifying rest period begins.
-
Active: The toggle becomes available once eligibility requirements are met.
-
Paired (completed): After both qualifying rest periods are completed, the toggle becomes inactive.
-
Reset: The toggle disappears at the end of the shift.
