It's a little like keeping more than 8 days logs in your possession. You could get pulled over, the COP looks at your book, including the last 25 or so days, and finds something askew from 3 weeks ago, BAMM, you're busted.
How long do you keep your logbooks?

On this subject I often say "If I get in trouble it will probably be for my records being too good or too long". That being said, I would never provide more records than I had to and would never let them know how many years I had unless I new I had an ACE that would buy me something.

well suppose they keep the logbooks for a few years.
then someone accuses them of some crime, figuring that would be easy enough to nail an ex-con, right..??
by keeping the logbooks, may very well "clear" that person....in any such event..!! -

I don't think I ever finished a trip out to california, or back, on the same log book.

I think the requirement used to be 30 days, I believe it's 7 days now. Either way, when an old one gets 30 days old, it gets tossed. Why take a chance for "nostalgia", or the "chance" that you'll be audited? -

The employer has to keep them for 6 months as per DOT Regulations.
