Saturday we spring forward 1 hour at 2AM. In the past I have always been home in the middle of a reset that was a lot longer than 34 hours. This year I am in a company hotel loading at 0830 Sunday morning. After postrip i went off duty at 2100 Friday night. I need to leave the hotel by 7:00 Sunday morning to make my loading appointment. That"s a perfect 34 hour reset except for the fact that we lost an hour do to Daylight Savings Time. It's really only 33 hours even though my log will show 34. Is this a problem?

Everyone else in the world loses an hour of sleep and still has to be at work. I'm interested to see if we're picked on here.

I honestly never thought it would be an issue. Sort of a perfect storm with this load. I will probably just run 8.75 a day and not worry about it.

33 hours is not a reset. It doesn't matter if it is Daylight Savings Time or not.
Just flag the time change or write in the remarks section and move on. Make sure you don't go over your 70/8, or 11/14.
The time change is on Sunday morning, not Saturday. -
RickG Thanks this.

That would be easier for DOT to catch than my situation. -

I can't find anything in the regulations or guidance that addresses this, so I would use common sense. Something happened so flag it. -
