In the link above, Landline has quoted a State Trooper supervisor as saying:
"In Van Dykes case, the driver could have refused the troopers request to go through his old logbooks. Because alleged logbook violations are specific to the jurisdiction in which they occurred, Black said there is rarely use for troopers to go through older logbooks.
Theyre only required to present the seven previous days and today,
What is that about...I thought USDOT required previous 7 days.
previous days logs.......huh?

Wow well this should be interesting. And I'll be sure to carry Vaseline if I have to go to Michigan!
D.Tibbitt Thanks this. -
Why would you have log books, other than the month you are in, in your truck. (Or previous 7 days of the last month if you're in the first week of the month)

Cracked windshield and missing step on the passenger side. I now have a pretty good idea of the shape of this bozos operation.
Know the law or get violated by it.joseph1135 Thanks this. -
The word is to keep them 6 months in case of an audit. But you don't have to carry them with you. All you need is the last 7 days plus the day you are on now. A state trooper doesn't have the authority to ask for anything after that and if he does you are not required to provide it. The cop was in the wrong and so was the driver for giving him anything past what he was legally required to give him.
