    I always made a note of the time change and logged accordingly. In the fall I would log a 25 hour day and in the spring a 23 hour day.

    Your not getting it. Your home terminal is your log time, where ever that may be. Pluto for some of you. It's set on standard time. It never ever changes. When you spring ahead, and your watch say 0600 your log still is input at 0500.

    Not in the rest of the country...AZ doesn't change, they're always on standard...but everyone else in the USA does. Saturday my company's time base is EDT, after 2 am tonite it's EST..the time on my elog clock matches whatever time my company's office clocks show, and they're in the eastern time zone (and the elog clock comes from where ever Peoplenet gets the time from...gps, cell, atomic clock). It changes automatically...it doesn't change when I cross time zones, but it does change when daylight saving time comes and goes.

    Post pic of your log right now. If it says daylight time I'll kiss your ### and you can call a crowd to watch. Even when your on paper you are taught this. One time zone. One. Doesn't matter where you live McFly. And it's the standard time.

    Time zone and daylight saving...two different things.

    My company is in the eastern time zone. Today it's eastern daylight time, after 2 am it changes to eastern standard.

    This one is so easy....you do your log to completion on DST. Tomorrow you do your log to completion on Standard time. You do not get an extra hour to drive........Auditors etc know about the time change.

    At 1AM - 2AM, that hour repeats. What I would do when I was driving through that time was repeat a second line in that hour and carry forward with my lines. Only thing being that hour was counted twice so it counts against your 11,14,70 like normal.

    If your day requires 11 hours driving tonite, you can still do it, just count that hour twice and still have 9 other hours to drive no big deal. Qualcomm does the same thing, I will drive through 1AM - 2AM tonite and take a pic of it to show you how that hour will be just a little thicker as the software counts it twice.
