Is there some sort of school or class you can attend to learn the art and science of doing a proper log book and complying with hundreds of regulations, specifications, exemptions, and other legal jargon that is highly confusing to a new and uninformed driver like myself?
Either online or 1 in Midland Odessa Texas would be great.
Thanks!
log book school or training - online or in midland/odessa Tx

Why pay for some log book school.You learn with exp.Heck I bet not 1 driver knows every single law there is.Thats why so many log book questions on the forum.You'll learn logs in trucking school and at your first company.I wouldn't sweat it if I were you.

I went to school and log books were hardly brought up let alone broken down each and every little term an exemption. the reason I ask is because the companies that I have worked for since I have had my license will let you run illegally if you are not knowledgeable of the laws. Dot is cracking down severely throughout Texas and I don't want to be the one who is trying to run legally but ends up in violation because I am not knowledgeable about the science of the law or a legal scholar to be able to decipher all the legal jargon.

My motivation for this is because you will be forced to drive illegally if you don't have knowledge of the rules. 9 times out of 10 if you quote a rule you think exists your driver manager will disagree with you and ask you where you heard that. If you are not confident and extremely knowledgeable about the drive hour limits and exceptions you will not only look like a fool to your boss but you will also be getting marks on ur cdl and a fine when you get pulled over buy a DOT officerLast edited: Mar 30, 2014
