What is the legal way

What is the legal way for a part-time driver to report the last 7 days? Does he have to fill out 7 log sheets? Is there a form that a driver can fill out and carry with him and that form will satisfy the DOT in case of an inspection?? Also, say a driver works within the 100 mile radius and then pulls a run some 200 miles from his home terminal, I realize that the day he does the otr load that day has to be logged, but what about the previous days??? How does he carry with him proof of the last 7 days??

 

I understand doing "off duty" days, but say a part-time driver works local Monday, off Tue, Local Wed& Thur. off Friday, Sat. and Sunday he does an otr trip which requires logging. The days he worked local did not require logs. The question is, is there some form that this driver can use without going back over the last 7 days and trying to remember this and that.

Lets use this example:
Monday=Local work 6am-4pm multiple stops, plus several drops and hooks.
Tuesday=Local work 8am-5pm multiple stops
Wed.=off
Thur.=Local work 6am-5pm multiple stops, several drops and hooks
Friday=off
Now comes Sat. and Sun. this driver does a otr run which requires logging and a layover before he comes back on Sun.
Exactly how does this driver account for the previous 7 days before he leaves out on Sat on his otr trip. Now I know if he is off, he can just use a log sheet for the 7 days and show "Off Duty" from A To B but if he works doing this period this creates another situation. And what about a factory worker doing part-time road work on a week-end, just how does he log his previous 7 days in a factory??

 

I understand all that, but if you do an otr trip, you don't carry your time cards with you, do you? If you are stopped for an inspection and the officers wants to see the last 7 days, what will you show him?

When I worked local for a major ltl company, we had to make out a log sheet if we went to the 12th hour. I did a lot of road work on week-ends but back then, you didn't worry too much about being inspected. It has changed today and you best have everything in order and that is the point of me starting this discussion. So far, no one has given a clear, precise answer.
