Log books and Time Zones
May be a dumb noob question but here goes. Say you start a trip in the Eastern Time Zone, stop in Central time zone for the night. Next days' start do you go by original zone or new? Say next day you are in Mountain Time. Possibility of losing 2 hours somewhere???????????? :?

Yeah, you can gain 2 extra driving hours in California. :P :lol:

As previously posted, always log according to your home terminal time zone. You will not "lose" any time by going from one time zone to the other.
Additionally, make sure that you log your fuel stops per your time zone, not the time on the receipt if it has one. The DOT auditor has a time zone chart and will figure this during the audit. |
In 20 years I have never logged 15 minutes for a fuel stop and never was it mentioned by an officer in a dot inspection. Let me add I have been dot-ed in every state from ca. to boston hauling produce.

Just because DOT doesn't catch it at a roadside stop (which they only would if you produced fuel receipts), doesn't mean that it's legal. |

I was told in school you can "Flag" if it's less than 7 minutes, and if it's more than 7 minutes you have to "Log" 15 minutes. I don't start orientation until Monday, so If I don't see a reply by 10 am Sunday ( when I catch my plane ) guess I'll have to ask there. |
