    Hey guys sorry if this is the wrong area to post. I'm looking for some questions with logbooks and co-drivers. Sometimes when I train on a different truck setup I go with another guy who is experienced on that truck. Most of that time I don't drive, just learn the correct way to load unload the unit. My company insists I have to log the mileage, even though im not the driver, is this ok? Is it even legal?

    You can log the mileage and list yourself as a co-driver but mark the time as on duty - not driving. It may be a company policy, but it is not legally necessary unless you will actually drive the unit.

    This was the actual question, the company was telling me to log the mileage as if I'd been driving, but draw my lines as on duty.

    My Log book has 2 areas to place miles. one is total miles and the other is Miles that I drove. SO I would just put the total miles in and put a zero in the space for miles you drove.
