    how legal is this? if i were in an accident the 1st thing they are going to ask for is my log-common sense says I am on the road under dispatch so I am on the log as driving but co tells me if i get in the city limits and I dont have to log driving so doesnt matter if I am out of drive time.I am on electronic logs also.someone PLZ give me the legalities of this situation

    Yea that is illegal and stupid of them to request. When your involved in an accident they will be wondering how the accident happened if you were off duty or sleeper.

    I would definitely have her send that request over Qualcomm. 2 things can happen. 1.) She is dumb enough to do it and you can nail her ### to the wall. 2.) She will leave you alone and run legal.

    Not true, 395.2 Multiple stops means all stops within village, town or city may be computed as one stop. I use on duty/ not driving on a regular basis when im working in the city. Most of my stops are 15 to 20 minutes apart with 15 minutes at a stop and would make a log look like a hugh mess if i tried to log each stop. Often show the entire day as on duty/not driving and list "local" in the comments section.
