Help, as I'm more used to electronic logs, my new company does paper. It's been a while since I logged on paper so I need to know how to complete the recap section of this type of log sheet.
Not to mention, the last time I had to log on paper, the recap section was different than these.
Thanks in advance.

it all works the same way. you move your hours up one line every time you go to a new day. naturally the top one drops off.
so let's say hours are like this. 1 hour day one, 2 hour day 2.
so on your first log. let's say this is the first day. you put 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1
your second day goes 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 2,
and so one for each day.corneileous and Mommas_money_maker Thank this. -
So, for day one, the total hours worked would go on line seven, then get moved to line six on day two and the total hours worked for day two would go on line seven?
On those three bold red lines, below that, which one needs to show total hours worked today, total hours available today and total hours available tomorrow?
Again, thanks for your help.
Maybe that is one downfall to EOBR's...... You get used to doing them for a long time and when you have to go back to logging on paper, its easy to forget how. -
I think I figured it out, with your help....
The first bold red line is total hours worked from the seven spaces above that.
The second bold red line is whatever 70 minus the number in the first bold red line is and the bottom bold red line is total hours worked on the current days log.
I do have this right, right?
I understand from your first post that for the first day of work, the total hours worked for the first day goes on line seven. Then, on day two log, day one's hours go on line six as day two's hours go on line 7 and so on and so on. -
Complete your log at the end of each shift (day), these hours (adding Lines 3 and 4 from the log) go to the next days log Line 7....don't forget to transfer all lines in proper sequence each day.
Line 7 is yesterday,
Line 6...day before
Line 5...day before that
total up the hours for the 7 previous days, subtract that total from 70, the difference is the hours available tomorrow.
Do this every day...total previous 7, subtract from 70, gives you legal hours available tomorrow.
If you are running tight,and have hours worked on all seven lines, the hours you show on Line 1 will become available to use at midnight.corneileous Thanks this. -
Cool, I think I'm on the same page, now.
Thanks again snowy and thanks to you too, Otter...otherhalftw Thanks this. -
corneileous Thanks this.

Actually, wait a minute. If line seven is "yesterday", then so on and so on going up, if so, then on the first day log, there should be all zeros on all seven of those lines, correct? Day two log would have the first day's total hours worked on line seven, then day three log would have day two hours on line seven.....
I guess I'm still confused.... -
