    Will companies actually pull video evidence from places where we stopped and the receiver to prove who was driving since my trainer drove on my logs??

    Or should I get an attorney?

    First all thats a big NO NO. Driving on someone else's logs? What if he had an accident while driving under your logs? What if there was a HIT AND RUN and you was the one loged driving and he left the accident. That will fall on you unless you had PROOF. A trainer driving on a students log's he should lose his CDL. To be honest BOTH of you should. Don't say i couldn't stop him blah blah blah. Cuz you could of called your safety people from the bunk or next truck stop and said hey hes driving under my logs and what not.

    No a company won't, but an attorney after an accident will, if they even think the logs are incorrect.

    In this case you knowingly let your trainer drive on your logs,doubt any attorney will take your case.When things like this happen you notify your company immediately.Far as video evidence if this is for another trucking job,unlikely any companies will find that video and look at it.
