And even with paper you wouldn't show that hour. You would flag it as CondoCruiser noted. If you show that hour, you're going to have a discrepancy that'll lead to a violation. Because you would have shown a shut down time of a hour too late (meaning you drove 12 hours).
Here's a example provided you do a full drive shift starting at midnight:
Under normal circumstances, you would run out of drive time at 11am. With the end of DST, you would run out of drive time at 10am. If you log line 3 'till 11am, you're going to show 12 hours of driving, which is a violation. You shut down at 10am, and flag that lost hour. As I said, DST does NOT affect your HOS. You still have 11 hours of drive time and no more.

i draw a line to show what i did from 00:00-02:00 and a line just above it to show 01;00 (after time change) to 23:59, flag 01:00-02:00 TIME CHANGE, total hours for the day 25
in the spring i run a line from 00:00-02:00, blank from 02:00-03:00 flag time change and restart the line at 03:00 total hours 23ricrey99 Thanks this. -

wten the fall time changes on THAT day their is 25 hr's not the 24 that e-logs show and in the spring time change on that day their is ONLY 23 hr's not the 24 that e-logs show
that also makes the recap wrong so for 16 days a year e-logs are wrong -
just draw 2 lines in the 2-3 AM box for the fall back, and skip the line in the 2-3 AM box for spring ahead
flood Thanks this. -

2) That doesn't mean other ways aren't correct, as I already stated.
3) Yes, because you're doing more with your logs than you need to.
4) You can continue doing it your way all you want. I don't care. Don't say e-logs are wrong, because they aren't. If they were wrong, 1,000s of trucks would be in violation every time DST changes.
