Not sure how your e-log is configured...
For Swift; the on-duty remarks they want to see are pre-trip, fueling, delivery, pickup, DOT inspection, and post trip. Otherwise we do not note any remarks.

Ours is basically the same but it has a few extra ones such as trip planning/paper work, scale, tiv, and a few others. Schneider hasn't said anything other then when I forgot to log my post trip the first day I was out and when I forgot to report my DVIR. So I assume I will be fine.

My understanding is that every on duty (not driving) period you have on your logs MUST have remarks telling what you were doing at that time or it is a log violation. This is per our logs compliance person. We do have a pull down menu with pretyped remarks to choose from, but can also manually type in whatever remarks we need to add.
When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
When the driver’s duty status changes, do §§395.8(c) or 395.8(h)(5) require a description of on-duty not driving activities (“fueling,” “pre-trip,” “loading,” “unloading,”, etc.) in the remarks section in addition to the name of the nearest city, town or village followed by the State abbreviation?
Guidance: No. Many motor carriers require drivers to identify work performed during a change of duty status. Part 395 neither requires nor prohibits this practice.
Unless there’s been a change that I’m not aware of then no you wouldn’t be in violation of fmcsa rules
The CSA is a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) initiative to improve large truck and bus safety and ultimately reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities that are related to commercial motor vehicle
The FMCSA was established within the Department of Transportation on January 1, 2000. Their primary mission is to prevent commercial motor vehicle-related fatalities and injuries.
What Does The FMCSA Do?
Another thing is on our quadcom you have to be in each change of duty for 5 minutes before it actually saves the log, so if I was to use the different remarks it wouldn't let me change the on-duty remark for example unless I was in another one for 5 minutes or more or maybe in doing it wrong?

I have a simple question, let's say I'm doing paperwork or trip-planning and I'm marked as on-duty not driving, but I have no remarks selected. Would this be a log violation or would I be fine? I've done this a few times without thinking, and figured I'd ask to know if I'd have any problems when I get stopped by dot at some point.
