Log question

Fleet manager is requiring the driver to cheat.Thats a 15 minute jog on your logs.Then all the drop and hooks made is 15 minute each plus the time to pretrip the trailer.In reality log it as you do it which a 6 mile drive is roughly 15 minutes.Tell FM to not tell you how to log.

 

If all you are doing is crossing the road from one building to another it is all on duty !
No need for drive time at all .
It is the same for multiple drops in the same town .

 

What you could do, since all the stops are in the same city/town, is aggregate the total driving time and show that as one solid block, and the total on duty time for the drops/hooks and show that as one block. Then just make a note of what you did in the remarks section. The previous poster saying every time you moved on the public road it should be a 15 minute of drive time is incorrect as that would give you FAR more drive time on your log then would be correct and would make your log false. If you don't want to move all the drive time together what you would do is simply flag each move across the public road with the activity and the amount of time it took, as well as the location of course.

 

I'd mark it all on duty but each trailer drop/hook note it on the log.
Your basically a shag driver/lot mule/ yard dog, however you wanna say it.

 

I said that because 15 minutes is the lowest you can log and also said log as you do it.Everybody drives differently it would only take me 15 minutes at most to drive to the next warehouse if only 2 miles.Also I never said log 15 min everytime..I assume you're talking about me.But I do like your answer on how you would log it.Makes the log book look less messy.

 

I've heard log it as a block and log it as it happened.
When I did local relay setups like this it I logged it as 15-minute chunks and at the end of the day had a sawtooth pattern in the logbook.
Is there a wrong way to log this?

 

Log the entire day on line #4. Do not put miles in the "miles driven" area, as that will flag your logs since you aren't showing line 3 time. Instead, note the miles driven in the remarks section and make a note that it is a "local log". 99% of my days are logged in this manner.

 

Log on duty not driving for full work day, not to exceed 12 hours. Only flag pti's and fuel in comment section write local driver. Notate the end of day and start of day cities. That is all you need to do.

you can write in miles driven.
