Question: What is the difference between an “edit” and an “annotation”?
Guidance: An edit is a change to an electronic logging device (ELD) record that does not overwrite the original record, while an annotation is a note related to a record, update, or edit that a driver or an authorized support personnel may input to the ELD. Section 49 CFR 395.30(c)(2) requires that all edits, whether made by a driver or the motor carrier, be annotated to document the reason for the change. For example, an edit showing time being switched from “Off-Duty” to “On-Duty Not Driving” could be annotated by the carrier to note, “Driver logged training time incorrectly as off-duty.” This edit and annotation would then be sent to the driver for approval in accordance with § 395.30.
Explain on Duty time
On-duty time means all time from the time a driver begins work or is required to be in readiness for work until the time the driver is relieved from work and all responsibilities for performing work. Performing other compensated work for a person who is not a motor
carrier is also on-duty time.
Explain Short Haul Exemption

Drivers using the short-haul exception in §395.1(e)(1) must report and return to the normal work reporting location within 14 consecutive hours, and stay within a 150 air-mile radius of the work reporting location.
