Who Keeps The Log Book?

I'm a company driver and been handing in to my company my used log book 7 days after I have started my new months log book. I hand in my white copy's every few days and keep the log book with the yellow copy in the cab for inspection from DOT.

I was just told by another driver that I should keep the log book for my records and not hand the log book in at all. He states that the white copy is the company's and the yellow (log book) is mine. Is this my record or the company's?

I can't ask my boss this as he doesn't know if I should put diesel or gas in the tank, not alone a log book question.

 

Thanks PJ for confirming this for me.

 

Thanks for the reply.

I never have claimed any of this on my taxes before but I was told anytime I travel over 100 miles I could use the food that I bought towards a tax deduction. Do you know anything about that.

Also what is the "per diem"?

 

So a company driver that is only on the road 10 to 14 hours a day and doe's 400 to 550 miles per day can't claim this I would guess?

 

I guess I can't claim nothing then... Thanks everyone.
