    1. Last day with any on duty time do as normal.
    2. First day with NO on duty time at all out the line all the way across line 1 midnight to midnight. Put in remarks section "Off Duty City,State mm/dd/yy (day of log) to mm/dd/yy (last day with NO on duty time)
    3. Next log sheet dated for first day back on duty with any on duty time.

    Do it this way and you're legal without having to do 5 or 6 different 24 hour off duty log sheets.

    This is the type of thing you should learn in school or at the very least covered in an initial log class or orientation/ new hire training.

    Not going to preach about the federal coloring book, ADD wow you really are pulling that excuse? Off duty dude! basic crap.
    Reminds me of the people at mega orientations, The instructor waste everyones time ( 3 hours ) explaining basics to one person.

    the only caveat to this is if your off duty time is 2 different months you need 2 different log sheets

    off noon 6/29 log normal
    off 6/30 to 7/3 at noon
    you need a sheet for 6/30 , 6/31 off duty
    another for 7/1 , 7/2 off duty
    7/3 you log normal

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    This is important info.; can't run dates of two separate months on one log sheet.

    Wow, that was easy, and look how much you helped a fellow trucker out. Thank you. Everywhere from being broken down to asking questions on the internet truckers by and large are intolerant ### holes. Alot of room is there to improve a well deserved poor public image.
