['Sleeper berth', '14-hour rule']

...
If a team driver goes directly from 10 consecutive hours off duty to the sleeper berth at the start of his/her duty period, can the sleeper-berth period be excluded from calculation of the 14-hour limit?
Yes. It would be a “combination of at least 10 consecutive hours off duty and sleeper berth time …” per 395.1(g)(1). The driver would not be permitted to perform any duties, such as pre-trip inspections, prior to using the sleeper berth.
