cooper1203, if I recall the forums may have suggested to you the two 30s approach because sometimes you were getting back after 6 hours but before 9 having only taken a 15 and obviously this would flag up as insufficient breaks if you just finish.
However, taking the 30 very early on in a long shift is the wrong approach as you would inevitably still have to break twice more and one of these later breaks would probably need to be a 30 to reset your driving.
As a suggestion, perhaps if you know it is going to be a long shift, either delay the first 30 or split the morning rest into two 15s (separated by a few hours), so that you are breaking the day up more.
