This driver accumulated 10 hours of off-duty time by combining 10 consecutive hours alternating between the
sleeper berth and off duty. As long as the time is consecutive and not broken by any driving or other on-duty time, this is a
valid way to obtain off-duty time.

Here, the driver accumulated 10 hours of off duty, combining sleeper-berth and off-duty times, but the off-duty period was not consecutive because the driver drove for 1

rule at 4:00 p.m.
