What time zone do you log

The link I gave you will tell you exactly what you want to know. Just click on Colorado and the city you are wanting there and click on Oregon and click on the city you are wanting there and if the time is the same, there is your answer, if they are different you can relate the time you are in to what the time difference is

I hope this helps. That link is a great source of information for time zone issue's. It answers your questions in seconds!

EVERYBODY BE SAFE PLEASE! I MEAN IT! WE CARE!

 

It is home terminal and I corrected myself by saying "most" log departments are based out of the home terminal although some do have drivers that have different home terminals.

The time zone is NOT based out of where the driver lives though. Now maybe your auditor looked at your state of address and said log your home time zone to make it easier on them, but in reality they made it harder on them cause if you move or if you tell another driver it will get bad info out.

It would be hard to have drivers logging their home time zone because say you have 2,000 drivers then you would have to look up their address, figure out that time zone then figure out the difference on all the receipts you turn in. GRRRR that would be way hard on us and I believe that was the interest of DOT making that specific regulation so they would have it easier as well when doing a DOT audit.

I will change my original post as I see where I messed up in explaining this!



(f)(8) Time base to be used.

(f)(8)(i) The driver's duty status record shall be prepared, maintained, and submitted using the time standard in effect at the driver's home terminal, for a 24 hour period beginning with the time specified by the motor carrier for that driver's home terminal.

The full address is supposed to be on the log sheet as I read it anyhow? It's just as easy if they only have one "home terminal" to pre-print it and you do nothing, but if they have several "home terminals" most just make you check mark it or color it in from what I have seen, but haven't seen many either.

So what does IE mean? Confused (easy to do to me)
