How many years do you keep your logbooks around? I know I should at least hold on to it for the current year for taxes but how long after that before you can chuck them.
I'm doing some spring cleaning and want to clear some space out. I have all my books that I ever filled out.
How long do you keep your logbooks?

I keep everything for 10 years. Have 10 nice boxes in my home office. In Jan I tossed all the 2000 stuff and relabeled the box 2011. Plus we are now on E-logs so every 3 months I just download them all and save the file. (a whole year is only about 1mb)

I am a company driver. 9 days then then they go by by, no more! The company I work for keeps records for my taxes. Even takes out my taxes every paycheck so I dont even have to pay taxes myself. Do my taxes every year like I am sposed to its bulletproof! Unless they discover income I have that I aint sposed to that would be a problem, like I said its bulletproof.

I keep all of mine in a box. Figure why the hell not.

A couple months at the most then they got pitched.....
The only reason they stayed around that long was the log dept at Landstar was notorious for losing logs then blaming the driver for not turning them in..Last edited: Jun 12, 2011
