Not sure how widespread this issue is, but as of this morning, Verizon's automatic date and time near Redding, CA, is set for MOUNTAIN time, not PACIFIC time.
The phone knows exactly where I am. It clearly indicates Redding, CA, but it is falsely saying I am in Mountain Time.
So be very careful about time for your appointments today. Make sure your phone is reporting proper time. Call your terminal for an accurate time if you are in BFE with no other option but your personal electronics to know what time it is.

As of about 0715 PST (actual PST) this issue was apparently resolved and my phone automagically updated itself to display the proper time zone for Redding, CA.
bzinger Thanks this. -
So you depend only on a single clock? And it’s on your cell phone? No built in clock in the truck? No clock on the radio in the truck? No clock on your elog and you can adjust yourself for whatever time zone you’re in?

However, I only use one device for an alarm clock. And it was wrong the other morning.MidWest_MacDaddy and LoSt_AgAiN Thank this. -
This is why I always kept my wristwatch set to my home terminal time. I was using paper logs. I really never needed an alarm clock. I just always seemed to be able to train myself to know and mentally adjust the time for appts etc off my watch. However, I can see where such an error can frustrate you!
