DOT will not go over your logs with a fine tooth comb.If you're worried log line 1 and tell him you watched DVDS while getting loaded.I've always logged 15 minutes for loading/unloading and then line one till im ready to leave.Dot has never questioned it.

I haul tanks so I get weighted at every customer twice, loaded and empty weight. I match my logs to those time stamps. I log 15-30 min for me to checkin, weight and go to my loading/unloading area. Then I log another 15 when I "scale out" and I'm on my way. If it's close to my 8 , I'll ask them if I can hang somewhere until the 8 is up, then scale.
I've never logged a post trip on duty. -
I log all my loading/unloading time as on-duty but then again I get paid hourly during that time and they wont pay us for it if its not logged. Lol
Jazz1, RockinChair and Dennixx Thank this. -
As for the 7.5 hours off duty, if that's a true record of what you did then that's how you should log it. I'd probably log it as sleeper berth instead of off duty though. Eight hours of sleeper berth time gets you an 8/2 split, which extends your 14. Eight hours off duty won't work. Has to be sleeper berth.Bean Jr. Thanks this. -
heck when I preload trailers for guys I log off duty driving then go 15 minutes away load trailer and bring back to yard and drop it!I'm still an outlaw on elogs lol
