Log book questions.

logbook does 15 minute increments where Qualcomm does by the minute.
also might want to write practice logging,or something to that effect, on logbook just in case you get inspected. dot mite consider it as 2 logbooks

 

When you make a change to log book, don’t scratch out, a single line, then initial it.
Change of duty status, flag it in remarks, write city, state say DViR/Fuel load unload etc.

And yes, on duty and drive hours count together for hours worked for the day.
So tomorrow hours worked be 9.47
Where a log book would actually show like 9.5 hours.

 

I’m confused as to why you are doing two logs? That’s illegal....

Also, find a straight edge of some sort for making your lines so it’s neater, like a small ruler or something. I used to use an expired credit card.

 

Just a side note
If using paper draw a straighter line

When I was audited after my first year under my authority the cop planned to be at our office for 4-5 hours
He was there 15 minutes as we had everything laid out and prepared

As he was walking out he tells me. Everything looks great and you won’t see me again unless there’s a wreck and btw maybe make your paper logs look like they weren’t done while driving

 

People who say straighter lines should see mine (and may have been done while driving, lol). As long as it stays within the box I see nothing wrong with it.

I operate under the short haul exemption most of the time, usually only having to do a log about once a quarter.

 

Carrying two logs is perfectly legal, as long as they are the same. Then they are just copies. Some drivers have to do that if they work for two carriers (i.e. two part time jobs), and need to turn in logs to two companies.
