paper logging short stops

Not sure exactly which thread (it's a popular topic), so here is the Guidance from 395.8:

Question 1: How should a change of duty status for a short period of time be shown on the driver’s record of duty status?

Guidance: Short periods of time (less than 15 minutes) may be identified by drawing a line from the appropriate on-duty (not driving) or driving line to the remarks section and entering the amount of time, such as “6 minutes,” and the geographic location of the duty status change.

Guys..... your running paperpogs and worrying about a stop less than 15 minutes..... you have paper logs, dont log it

 

But, I am a law abiding citizen it is people like you that give truckers a bad name.

 

If I have several drops in the same county, I just combine on duty and combine driving, draw a line down with city or county name and "del,1,2,3..." Then back to driving to next town.
If I have to wait 30 mins for a dock, thats my 30 min break. Have done it that way for yrs and the DOT seem to be fine with it. Even looks better with a matching delivery log or arrival departure times on the bol's.

Years ago, before all the added bs, it was acceptable to just log multi drops as on duty not driving.

 

Your joking right.... if you are worried about logging 5 minutes you are in the wrong line of work rookie minutes ... your full of crap that you state you have 23 years of expierence. oh and i give truckers a bad name for not logging 5 minutes your a joke!!!!

 

I don't bother logging non driving rime if it's less than half hour. You just complicate the #### out of your life.

 

Come on now, us Desparados gotta keep our cool! I once stopped and took a pee, and never logged it!

 

Seriously ,do you actually think cops are going to be right there watching making sure you log every single stop?
