Straight Truck regulations

Your Boss will be riding that passenger seat. Someone in your outfit bought those trucks right? If YOU are the boss and so forth designate one of your drivers a trainer and have him test you. (*Inagine that...)

You can probably get generic cards at Keller Inc. They have sold trucking type stuff in paper for decades.

You retain your logs as a Carrier 6 months. Many keep it for years. I know of previous companies that still have my actual paper logs rotting quietly in a trailer somewhere out back. Just in case.

The moment you leave 150 air miles (171.4 or so statue miles, you become logging for DOT, trucking etc and cross state lines in interstate etc.) You maintain that log on your possession going back 8 days, turn in everything 9 days and older to your company but not longer than 13 days after the logged workday. Your company will retain a copy and YOU will retain a copy as well at home. (In 2001 we used logs to prove 306 service days away from home at tax deduction per diem and kept those paper logs almost 9 years against any IRS Audit.)

One small detail. If you go to your office and sit and work 9-5 and go home, log that as on duty at your company as such. That way your previous 8 days logging is covered. All compensated work at any number of employers must be logged time against your 70 hours in 8 days or in your case 60 in 7.

 

Correct. Only the days you go outside the time card exemption. You do not need to even carry proof of the days you are using a timecard.

As a driver keep it for 7 years if you use it for tax reasons. As a company 6 months.

As for the log copies one goes to the driver, one to the company. As it sounds like both are the same entity you really don't need both copies.

 

Unless ny requires you to specifically have a drivers test cert, don't bother.

Logs you get the original, the carbon copy is for a driver to keep but it is not needed after 7 days,

 

A copy of your driver's license in the driver qualification file is sufficient, in lieu of a road test..

 

Not in this case - 391.33 allows a motor carrier to accept a CDL issued by a state in lieu of a road test...

OP does not have a CDL......

 

You can give yourself a road test....find a form online print it out, fill it out, sign & date it.
