Default Log books and tim zones

Say for example your home terminal is in the central time zone, whenever you skip time zones like going to the west coast or something do you use the time zone of your home terminal for your log book?

Just to clarify...the answer is correct, but many companies have many terminals is different time zones, your "home" terminal may not be the Main or Headquarters Terminal....The logbook times are based on the Main terminal.
My home terminal is eastern time...Main terminal is Central. My logbooks is accomplished based on Central time.

I was told by my Compliance dept. to ALWAYS log using my home terminal time (Central)

The corporate office is Eastern time.

Whatever time zone your "home" terminal that you *write the address of in your log book* is the time zone you log with.

This is going to get confusing, I just looked up the FMCSA on the Logbook it does say use the time zone of you "home" terminal, however it clear states the address for your teriminal should be the "main" terminal.
