    Forgot to record place where I changed duty status once or twice. Any tricks to fixing it? Tho I’m trying to be as honest as possible.

    Loose leaf or stapled? Stapled, get your carbon out and write the locations in on the copy sheet. Loose leaf, just rewrite them and be done.

    Luck in battle.

    Paper? Go back and write them in.
    And when getting inspected when on paper logs, I learned the hard way to never give the DOT man more than today and the previous seven days logs. That's all they get to see.

    I record my odometer every time I stop on paper.
    Do you have a fuel receipt or store receipt where you stopped. If you do, just mapquest the mileage and use the time that is on the website. If you don't have any receipts. Do the map search with your current location to the last logged location. Calculate the time driving by dividing your average speed into the mileage. . See how close that time is to your logged time. If you have an extra 30 minutes excess look along the route with an estimate of where you stopped and log the 30 minutes or hour there.
    Or if it doesn't put you over your 11 or 14 or 70. Just log it all drive time and try to remember to keep your log updated.
    Good luck

    Xsetra has it correct, don't worry too much about it. Had level 1 insp and was asked to clarifie point of origin , after explaining where it was , they put a bigger city on the paper work- which was nearly 10 mi different. We all forget somethings sometimes , get as close as you can and you should be O.K. But, don't show 100 mi in one hour of driving. The ones I've talked to have said they mostly look at the hours used and what's available .
