When/How can I dispose of my old log books?

Unless it has changed 6 months on log books. Recycle them or trash them.

 

Well, as far as the FMCSA is concerned, you could have gotten rid of them a long time ago... you only need the previous seven days.

 

That's for the carrier, not the driver.

 

You do not need to keep them after 7 days except for the proof on the income tax return for per diem you have claimed.

Since your last time was 2010, I would suggest keeping them till 2014.

 

That is right. Either way he is past that date. Hope your milk in the fridge isn't that old. Haha

 

he probably wanna keep em 7 years wouldn't he? in case of a tax audit.

 

Not a bad idea at all. They could save you a lot of headache.

Hell, if the DOT had their way, they'd make us keep all of the logs in the truck until it pushes the steer axle weight to over 12,000. Gotta bring in that citation revenue to keep the agency funded, you know
