If you were to come drive my truck around the block and I wasn’t logged on to eld it would ask me to claim any unassigned miles. I would put in the notes on my log that unassigned miles were from shop work. Test drive. As you start to learn your system you’ll no how to handle it. Also if it’s a company driver and it logs as duty time the administrator at the office can fix it for them with a phone call.

This is the part I'm not really getting. If your around your shop and you or a family member drive the truck around the block or stay within the 100 mile radius where you don't need to be logging, why is it asking to account for the miles. There is even an option in the big road eld app to turn on 100 mile radius, but doesn't change much with how the log book operates. If I'm within my radius why do I need to account for miles?
