You arrived @10pm. Post trip does not require 15mins. It is a quick walk around lights, tires etc. Can be done in 5 minutes so not required to log it, I never have.
Not exactly true. The regs actually specify that a pre-trip is not necessary if you agree with the last driver's post-trip inspection. But... they clearly state that YOU are responsible for a full post-trip, which I believe they specify much more than you described. I doubt you could do a full one in less than the 7.5 minutes that would relieve you of the need to log it on line 4. One of the reasons for this is that things could have gone wrong during YOUR last run. If you're running TOO tight to log 15 mins at the end of your day.... you need to re-think your situation.

When I park the truck, click on line 1 right away. Post trip requires no paper work or check off sheet.
Not true. Sometimes, the post trip is included on your daily RODS (as in my case.) Sometimes, it is a separate form (as WAS my case on an earlier job.) But, without citing the reg for you.... there IS a requirement for a signed PAPER copy of a post trip inspection. And a penalty for falsifying one!
