Casual or intermittent driver log question

You want a proper logbook. You can find a standard paper log with 4 lines to fill your time. Against the limitations of your hours of service.

That form is pretty. But it wont fly against a log for actual driving.

 

I agree with X1, get a logbook.

The paper in your post is not a government issued log sheet. Merely one that all companies utilize. But if you ever get stopped and inspected or in an accident, I do not see DOT accepting it. Even more so, a lawyer on a prosecution case against you, will wipe his arse with that paper.

You need a log showing your previous 7 days + today. That way everyone knows when you started and finished work. And you had a ten hour break prior to driving under FMCSA. There was something else important I wanted too add. But it's slipped my mind.

 

My company uses a similar form for the Temp drivers. On our form they have the past day section like yours plus a one day log page.

 

You don't need a govt issued log page. You simply have to have a form with the govt required info. You can print it on the side of a beer cooler or frisbee if you want. My VERY big company has a stack of similar forms for the Temp Drivers that may work for us for 1 day on a trip needing to be logged.

 

Do you punch a time clock at your non driving job?

 

I use a similar for except its a little.more formal from jj kellar. Never had problem

 

I didn't say you need a govt form. Merely stated it's not govt issued.

No log book is government issued. Hence there are differences in them all.

But your company having the same sheet with a 1 day log on it, is appropriate in my eyes. You have to show a ten hour break prior to driving.
According to 395.8


So all you do need is that single paper and a time of when you were last relieved from your other job.
It's in section (i) for those that want to find it
