    Hi,

    just have a question, maybe is a stupid one but the worst questions are the ones you don't ask so here it goes :biggrin_25525:
    My bf is planning on do some team driving with another driver and we'd like to know how do you keep the log book. Does each one of them have a log book and keep their hours separately or are there any log books out there for team drivers? I don't think one log book would work for 2 drivers, I just don't see how you would fill in the hours.

    Again sorry if it is a stupid question, I just haven't been able to get a straight answer about that.

    Thanks! :biggrin_25519:

    Just make dang sure he lists his codriver(there will be a spot on the RODS for this) so when and if he gets looked at they do not question going off duty in Dallas and coming off break in Nashville:biggrin_25520:

    Not so much if you are restricted to 62mph.

    You would have to average 59mph over 11 hours.

    Not saying it couldn't be done, but you would have to run full with no more than one break.

    Just keep seperate logbooks. But they can be compared and and made sure they coincide with each other.

    The only difference is you list your codriver on your log and you sign each others logbook.

    Sure, done it plenty times. It's about 660.

    It can be done with a 62 mph truck, depending on what the traffic and weather is like. There's no room for error.
