Log question

Here's an example.

 

You don't have to flag anything other than the time you start and the time you finish, as long as you end your day within 12 hours and stay inside the 100 air-mile radius. Entire day goes on line 4. Don't even have to show a 30 minute break...just time you start, time you end, total hours worked, the date, and your name.

 

Ha why are you guys stressing over all this?

I am not saying what to do, but if I was in that situation I would not even bother to go on duty in the first place.

Do everything you can to show DOT has no control over you!

 

395.1(e) is the 100 air-mile exemption from having to keep RODS. US Court of Appeals in DC tossed out the 395.3(a)(3)(ii) rest break requirement for short haul drivers in an opinion filed 2 Aug 2013 by Judge Janice Rogers Brown.

 

I'm leased to a large chain of companies. They tell us to log local like I showed in the picture. Dot never questions it.

 

Ah ok, ya, I thought you were saying to show 15 minutes of drive time each time he hit the road, which would add in a crazy amount of extra drive time that you didn't actually drive. Since OP said it was 2/10 of a mile I assumed it took only a minute or two to make the crossing. And the thing about logging all time in a city together even if there are a lot of duty changes was a rule change the FMCSA made for just that thing. City drivers doing lots of stops would have a heck of a time maintaining legibility with all the jumps from driving to on-duty back to driving. This method allows your log to be both legible and accurate.

 

Another question about logging time:

I understand how to log time when crossing time zones; you maintain the time where home base is, and I understand that this only happens twice a year, but how do you represent the time change when dealing with Daylight Savings Time, either springing forward or falling back?
