    Someone might have already said this but the employer or any previous employer is required by federal law to keep logs for 6 months and you the driver are required to have the previous 7 days on hand all the time. So technically the yellows are basically your receipt and you can do whatever you'd like with them. Hope this helps

    They can suspend your license now! If you don't pay your back taxes. I owed them $300 bucks and got a letter in the mail. Don't mess with the powers that be.

    Why would you have or keep records (log books) in your truck from last December? You only need the last 7 days to be on the road.

    You're funny I can tell you from experience you will pay them and you will pay penalties, but hey talk a tough game it will impress the truck stop lunch counter crowd.

    They can get in line like everyone else I owe money to.

    Let them do the legwork trying to collect less than $700 and spend twice that much doing it.
