Daylight Savings Time and DOT Logbook

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 23

 

and i WAS talking about E-LOGS not doing it right not paper logs

 

That's too much work for me.

 

And I'm telling you that e-logs are correct. Just because you've been doing it one way on paper doesn't mean it's correct, and it doesn't mean other ways arent correct. Showing 25 hours in a day is too much work. All you need to do is flag that hour, which is what the EOBR does.

 

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

 

As I said, DST does not affect HOS. The hour is not lost, and it is not gained back.

 

how con NOT SHOWING ALL HOURS BE CURRECT..??

the dot i show it to like it

showing 25 hr's on a day that has 25 hr's is too much work...??

 

1) Where did I say don't show all hours? I said to FLAG the hour that got set back to show 11 hours of driving.

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.
