Log Book Help
Topic 4264 | Page 1
Can somebody tell me the correct way to put in my log book the following.I worked 8 hours but did no driving.I know these hours are on-duty not driving but how do you put that in book,how do you list all the stops/places when there was no change of duty status to draw line down on.I could not find any visual samples of this anywhere.Thanks for any help.
You flag each event as it happens. Although you were on duty at the time the action took place you would drop a line and say what the action was. Just a simple line straight down and on one side of the line you put city and state it happened in and on the other side what the action was. Much like you do when you drop a line down to explain Change of Duty status except here you are not changing the time.

The driver records the amount of time spent driving, on-duty not driving, in the sleeper berth, or off duty. The enforcement of the Hours Of Service Rules (HOS) are based upon the entries put in a driver's logbook.
