Hi Folks, just a reminder about Daylight Savings time comes to an end this year on November 4.

Fall Back, Spring forward.

Jeez, if your going to tell people about it at least have the common sense to get it right! Nothing like showing up at the wrong time for an appt.

Yeah, no lie. :? I wished that Texas would act like Arizona, and not even have the time change. I hate that stupid time change. :P

This would be a good place to ask this (again.) I think we discussed it last year, but I'm still not completely clear on it.

How do you log the change?

If you drove 700 miles, you don't want to show it in 10 hours do you?

You can't drive 12 hours just because it looks like 11? Right?

So, do you show ending at 7 am and put in the comments that it was really 8 am so you're not speeding?

Or do you log it at 7 am, and explain the hours were actually eleven (so you're not speeding?)

Am I making sense?

This is only my second year of driving, and I think I must have been OFF DUTY last year at this time.

You don't adjust for the time change until you shut down. You donot gain an extra hour. 11/14 from the start of the trip like everyday. After you shut down, then you adjust for the change(take a 11 hour break since you just gained an hour :D ). The same thing in the spring, you donot lose the hour when they go ahead.

Drive the eleven hours.. regardless of the time, note the timechange on the log.

So what's the difference?

The original post got edited after tootie's post. It did say fall forward, spring back :wink: :D :D

i love to drive our log dept. nuts so what i do is this "legal official time change" is at 02:00. in spring there is NO 02:01-02:59 so i don't log it ie. 23hr day.... in fall you have 02:00 then it's 01:00 so you have a 25hr day. i log it as i do it never over 11/14 and note the time change 2-1 or 2-3
they always call me and i have to explain it to them that in the spring from midnight to midnight is 23hr's and in the fall it's 25hr's.

I drove from midnight to 3:15 am, at 3:15 I drew a slanted line "back" to 2:15 from line 3 driving to line 2 sleeper berth.

We'll see how safety likes it.

I also put "25 hours" under the total, and made a note.

I did 14.25 hours that day, and something like 860 miles :P
