Yep in March 11th I logged a 23 hour day. All on line 1. I drew a line from midnight until 2AM, and a gap from 2AM to 3AM, and a line from 3AM to midnight. Everywhere I would normally have written 24 hours I wrote 23. On the bottom I wrote changed clocks due to daylight savings time.
A couple of days ago I got a letter from Safety saying I had a serious log violation. They said I was in violation of the 70 Hr 8 Day rule. They figured that a 23 hour day was not a continuous off duty period. I sent them a letter stating that I didn't think I should have drawn a line and logged for a time period that didn't exist.
Is it just me? Or should I have just ignored the 23 hour day and just logged it as a 24 hour day?

YOu have to log the 24 hour day or we are lacking an hour on your log sheet.
What you was off duty while time changed. You was off duty during the time change so you log off duty and bracket the time in the remark section and state time change.
If you are driving you log driving until you actually stop (not driving over 11 hours physically) and when you stop you log it at the time you stop and bracket in the remark section the time zone change. I personally give you that morning as a freebie. Now my letters you get will show any violations as I do not have time to go through 2,000 letters to mark them out
sorry to you, but it is easier for you to call me and say hey don't I get a break that day. l.o.l.
It's a messed up day for us and you so we just do the best we can as you should do the best you can. That is what DOT will say also. Make sure you don't drive over 11 and make sure you take a 10. Fill in the gap with off duty.\
I hope I said this right as I am very brain tired from work
