Some of OR is mountain and some of it is pacific.

Just click on Colorado and the city you are wanting there and click on Oregon and click on the city you are wanting there and if the time is the same, there is your answer, if they are different you can relate the time you are in to what the time difference is

I hope this helps. That link is a great source of information for time zone issue's. It answers your questions in seconds!

In all the years of my driving,logs are always logged at your home terminal,wherever that may be,where you send or bring your logs into,then you cannot get into trouble.I have been told by many dot depts and the companie safety log auditors at the past and present jobs I have had.

I got stopped at a scale a few weeks back, and the first question I was asked after handing in my logs was "What time Zone dou you run on?". I stated that I lived in Michigan and worked off of EST, and the officer was fine with that. It has aleays been that you run based on your home terminal, but up until today I have never heard of it explained as where your company maintains the logs out of as a time zone. Unless someone finds a major flaw that forces me to change, I am going to continue as I presently am, logging all my logbooks on EST time.

Over the years, I have driven for many safety and compliant companies such as Tri-State Motor Transit, Chippewa Motor Freight, Key Line Freight, and APL Logistics where the Home Office, Home Terminal Address (as shown on the logs) and safety department are in different time zones. A driver is typically assigned or "domiciled" at a home terminal and union local, but that may not be his actual state of residence. Logs are generally mailed to the Home Office where the safety department is located, but not necessarily. Drivers and equipment belong to the "barn" where they are domiciled and that is their Home Terminal for time zone purposes.

For example, I was a 100-mile radius driver for APL Logistics at Coloma, MI and logged Eastern Time Zone. My dispatcher mailed our logs to the safety department at Bloomington, IL. The Home Office is Oakland, CA. The owner of the company is Neptune Orient Lines, Republic of Singapore on Singapore Standard Time UTC + 8. Fortunately, I lived, logged and worked where I was domiciled.

It is home terminal and I corrected myself by saying "most" log departments are based out of the home terminal although some do have drivers that have different home terminals.

The time zone is NOT based out of where the driver lives though. Now maybe your auditor looked at your state of address and said log your home time zone to make it easier on them, but in reality they made it harder on them cause if you move or if you tell another driver it will get bad info out.

It would be hard to have drivers logging their home time zone because say you have 2,000 drivers then you would have to look up their address, figure out that time zone then figure out the difference on all the receipts you turn in. GRRRR that would be way hard on us and I believe that was the interest of DOT making that specific regulation so they would have it easier as well when doing a DOT audit.

I will change my original post as I see where I messed up in explaining this!



(f)( Time base to be used.

(f)((i) The driver's duty status record shall be prepared, maintained, and submitted using the time standard in effect at the driver's home terminal, for a 24 hour period beginning with the time specified by the motor carrier for that driver's home terminal.

The full address is supposed to be on the log sheet as I read it anyhow? It's just as easy if they only have one "home terminal" to pre-print it and you do nothing, but if they have several "home terminals" most just make you check mark it or color it in from what I have seen, but haven't seen many either.

So what does IE mean? Confused (easy to do to me)
