Daylight savings time

I'd like to see that.

 

I wanted to see the pic of your elog you was gonna post for the time change. LOL

 

On paper I've always ingored time change until I had sleeper, on-duty, or off duty time. Then calculate as if you had a stopwatch measuring that duty status. The paper log is easy when you lose an hour, just shade 1 hour column out, and note in the remarks. I'm on e-logs now and was in the sleeper this time.

 

FYI, you're not required to do anything at the 2am change of time. You ARE required to update your log when you change your duty status. If you are driving near the time change, keep driving. When you stop, even if it's hours later, THEN you can account for the time change on paper. Drive like the time change never happened, then when you change duty status log it with the changed clock and note it in remarks. Just imagine using a stopwatch to measure your 4 lines.

 

If i had to run paper. I'd just ignore it and figure out off duty. throw in a remark if i had to fuel. I ran laptop when i was OTR. I don't even remember what it did. It's been over 18 months since i came back to local. I think it just shifted the times.

In the above pic I make the time change effective from 5am - 6am. Notice there are 2 lines showing Sleeper 5am - 6am. That is the time change. It can be taken at any duty status, not just Sleeper. Yor day will have 25 hours. For clarity, I used 1 hour for Pre-Trip, 30 minute break, and Post-Trip

 

This is ONE WAY how to show the Spring time change (Spring Forward) when you lose an hour. Notice the X from 5am - 6am. That hour "disappears" and your daily total will only be 23.

For clarity, I used 1 hour Pre-Trip, 30 minute break, and Post-Trip.

 

Im not seeing the pic of my example log page forbthe Spring time change. Here's the link if you don't see the pic.

If you want to split hairs...
When it springs forward the clock goes from 1:59 to 3:00
Hour of 0200 left out
Fall back it goes from 1:59 to 1:00
Hour of 0100 repeated
