The Joys of Logging
Ok, I have a question/poll for logging.
Now technically the regs say you must flag at the change of EVERY status change, however I know I myself do not do this if for example going from line 1 to 2, or 2 to 1, or 4 to 1, 2, or 3. Example....
Lets say our day starts at 7am, we started in the sleeper, so we go from line 2 to line 4 at 7am, do a 15 min pretrip, now lets say we go to line 3 and drive (no flag here, even though we changed status), drive until 12pm, lets say we drop to line 4 for 15 min and fuel, this would be flagged, now we go to line 1 for 30 min for lunch (not flagged as we already flagged 3 to 4 for this stop, and at 12:45 we drop down to line 3 and start driving again (also not flagged), we drive until 6pm, and change to line 2, flagging only where we are at, and finish the log off on line 3.
Now that is how I would log it, is there anyone else out there that does it differently, and if so how.
Note, I am doing research for the log program I am writing.

As I sit looking all around,
Confusion and uncertainty is all I found.
The answers are there,
But I do not know where.
Optimistic and hopeful dreams,
Are all I have so it seems.
The future I do not know,
So all I can do is take it slow.
But I do know it will work out,
So I wait and watch without a doubt.

I know DDL flags every status change.

Yeah, but it's legal to the letter of the law regarding indicating the city and state of any duty status change. There are ways they could do it that would make it cleaner. When I ran paper logs, I "forked" my line off my remark if the location hadn't changed.

Yep thats how I do it, if location stays the same I only write it once and connect the changes of status.

That is how I will program it then, to draw a fork line.

Just a suggestion, Matcat. You might want to hold off until I have weighed in. WTH exactly IS a "fork line?" :lol2:
Is that anything like a "bracket?"

Sorry, but that makes no sense. You're grid is all messed up. You drove on line 3 for awhile, so your location changed. You can't draw that "bracket" line on the time grid the way you did, and your "fork line" shows only ONE time element and, I guess, more than one comment.
Please delete your line of forks to bring the page back into specs.

It is a demonstration! Doesn't have to be right. I didn't realize I did a line 3 in there when I quickly put it together
