Ask the safety manager at your company.If he doen't know then log your day anyway. If in doubt, log it. Do not take chances with your CDL! It's not worth being lazy. It is easier to ask a DOT officer about it when you put a completed log book in his/her hands. Good luck in your new job.

Yes you need to log................

I'd just log everything, honestly. -

I didn't read all the pages, but, a good tip is to vary your entries. Ocassionally log 30 minutes to pre-trip, or 1 hour to un-load. The DOT boys aren't idiots, they know that not every entry is identical. DDDDUUUUUUHHHHH!

I logged 4 hours to unload once. But it actually took me 5 hours.

What you should try to do is if it's only 7 minutes past the quarter, then log back to the previous quarter. Then when you go back on the drive line, wait till 8 minutes past the quarter, and log in on drive line at the next quarter hour. You just saved yourself 1/2 hour of drive line. Do that a couple times of day when your running behind and you'll be able to get 60+ miles further down the road. Watch your average speed though, you company drivers.
