Daylight savings time

in the notes section, note that it was daylight savings time?

if you are on elogs, don;t they automatically make the time change as well and account for that?

(i am still on paper, that's why i asked)

 

Log it normal. Then figure out your sleeper to fit the 10 in on paper.

Or make notation but that might throw a cop off should you get inspected somewhere.

The idea is to make it painless for them so they don't hassle you.

You could also try a logging app on your phone to see how the app does it.

I'm surprised you don't have eld already. There's what, 5 weeks left before the law kicks in.

 

You should be on EST anyway. ( Eastern Standard Time ) I see your from PA. You don't change your log time base.
When you " spring " ahead to EDT ( Eastern Daylight Time ) your log will be one hour behind ( You start at 0600, but on your log it's 0500 ). 1100 is 1000, etc.
Why Freightliner had that little clock in the middle that everyone made fun of.

Get yourself a little clock or watch, set it to EST, then you never have to do the math.

But you don't change times on your log. You pick the standard time for your home terminal and it never changes.

 

But daylight saving time ends tonight, and his company was on DST, and it will be on Standard tomorrow...he needs to follow what ever time his company uses.

My advice I was given at the beginning of my career many moons ago was, run your day like normal, on the time you started your shift on. And if time change occurs in the middle of your shift(like dave mentioned, use a clock that doesn't automatically change), don't adapt your log in the middle. Then tomorrow, change your clocks and you will do your shift like normal on the other time.

I personally always try to be on a 10 hr break when it's time change, and take 11 hours. But, there are a lot of times like yours where that option isn't available.

 

You do not get a free hour, so no you cannot drive 12 hours.
On paper I would show my driving line through to two o’clock, then zig it back down on an angle to one o’clock, then carry the line ahead to two o’clock. At the end of that day the total hours for the day will be 25 hours, as that will be the actual total hours for that day.
In the spring I would skip the line over two o’clock to three o’clock and put a big x top to bottom for the whole hour over all four duty status as that hour did not exist. The total for that day would only be 23 hours.
And as others said, you put a note down in the comments section.
No DOT will give you a hassle, they can tell time too.

 

It’s simple, at 2am it’s then 1am and go from their. Don’t over think it.. show up a hour early or call the company and ask them. Don’t ya get a phone number to shipper/receiver.. google them if not, usually a phone call solves any questions I have about times or best routes in etc...

 

I do it same as post #7
One day a year will have 25 hours another will have 23.

Could not tell you how eld does it though. Likely the same.
