Daylight Savings Time and DOT Logbook

The E-Log is always on Home Time it notes a change of duty status with a verticle line on the graph if you stop and start for a duration of less than 5 min. Assuming your HOS sensors are working properly it notes any time the vehicle stops for more than 2 min and less than 5 min, If not you can manually change duty-status. My truck just went into service for faulty HOS sensors, 2011 Pete 386 w/ QC MCP200.

 

if you will reread my post i was saying that if you drove for 1 1/2 hr's....that would imply that you stopped after the 1 1/2 hr's

yes the e-log does keep up with the TIME ZONE change but it doesn't compensate for when the COMPUTER clock it is using changes IT'S time.!

it logs everything by the COMPUTER's CLOCK

 

look at the date (year actually) that lil bit posted that.

 

That's what it's supposed to do. Your logs are based off the time of your home terminal. It isn't based on your location.

And if the e-logs implied a stop, it would indicate so via a duty status change to line 4.

 

Yep, that's what my post says. Your line will be an hour shorter but actual drive time will still be in total hours with a flag showing that extra hour.

 

She posted that 10.28.2008

 

Well alrighty then. That went over my head.

 

yes BUT it would only show 1/2 hr on line 3 not the 1 1/2 hr it should

 

You assume they would be able to figure that out.

 

yeah, you'd think!
