    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.

    Well, when you signed it, it was true and complete?

    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.
     
    The Challenger Thanks this.

    Depends which company driver it was :biggrin_25526:

    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.
