    I was taught to sign it at the beginning of the day from my boss. He has done this for ten years and has yet to get a violation for signing it this way.

    So you signed a blank legal document?

    I would NEVER do that.

    By not signing at the begeining of the day it is a form and matter violation and will if you are writen up result in I think 2 CSA 2010 points under fatiged driver basic. If you don't believe me look it up for yourself.

    Thanks for all the replies and the links to the big book. Makes sense that signed or not I will get a ticket if its wrong.

    Many years ago, like say 10 years ago, it was mentioned that if not a legible signature, it must be printed below the signature.
