Logging Vacation Time In Your Logbook

I'm recently returning to long haul driving after several years of local, non-log book driving. My question is, How do I log my previous seven days if no work was performed?

Thanks, Kevin

What I do for any extended off time is just use one page, draw the line all the way through if duty and right the total hours off. So the days would be 72 hours etc. The in the notes right what days you were off. That's what I was taught I've never been told different. Hope this helps

I just came off vacation. About the same as Heavy C said. The only difference is we were told to write the dates in the comments. It will be obvious you were off and it is no ones business why or what you did.

With our electronin logs, QualComm , I put myself on line 1/off duty and then log out of the system. When I return, I log back into the QC. A message comes back with the past 8 day log, showing line one for the entire time I was off. I then just approve (sign electronically) the 8 day log and I'm done.

For my company if off duty crosses the end of the month into the next month, I have to use 2 pages, showing off duty thru the end of the month on the first page, and continue on the 1st to the end of off duty on the second page,,,, I quess that's what the Govment wants.....

All they care for here is "time since last 24 hour break"

So for today for instance the sections of the logbook would have "Date: 08/07/14 (DD/MM/YY, not MM/DD/YY)" "Date of last 24 hour break: 07/07/14" "Cumulative time: 0 hours"

That's it.
