Does an owner operator have to do duplicate logs?

You are also supposed to not have more than 13 days of originals on your person. Must mail them to home terminal if older than 13 days.
I've been written up for not having duplicate logs.....but that was a vicious thread from 3 years ago lol.

 

So, who writes you up? Cuz i certainly don't carry duplicate logs. Unless the laptop is counted.

And the only logs i keep for taxes. Are on the laptop. To which the program also has a online server backup.

 

U hirin? J.k.

 

I am an O/O and i just ( @NOV 2015) got a warning for not having duplicate log sheets. I have been using the carbon paper logs without the carbon between them and putting 1 day on the first page then 2nd day on the 2nd page, the one that usually gets the carbon copy. I am home every night about 95% of the time. I haul oversize in my 3500 DRW truck, big fiberglass swimming pools. Usually when the DOT looks at my logs , they see that i am usually not far from home and NEVER get close to any 60/70 hour situation. I am home every weekend and usually never run any oversize weekends either. They said my carrier needed the copies mailed to them. I said i am the carrier and when my 7th day gets pulled from the book , i file it at home with all the others. KInda goofy but oh well, first time in 10 years that this has been an issue.
