    Tear out both and start a new one-or write VOID and start a new one-or make a correction and initial?

    Well,we have company issued logbooks (with a bar-code for trans-flo),I guess I could un-staple them-would DOT look sideways at that?

    Reason I'm worried about it is I've already racked up 30 csa points, so I've got to be extra careful with my logs

    TBH, I have done all the above at one point or another. If its a minor thing... hey we all make mistakes.. I just correct it. I have also written void on that sheet & started another & I have also torn sheets out & started a new one.

    With what, loose leaf? There is no rule that says a logbook needs to be stapled and not loose leaf. Keep your logs neat and easy to read and the DOT won't even look twice at them.
