Who Keeps The Log Book?

That depends if you scan your logs or not.

 

The log book is yours to keep for your records. You never know when they could save you or burn you... but I keep mine for tax reasons...

 

I believe the daily PERDIEM for trucking is $65 now.

I just did my '05 and '06 taxes for the time I was on the Gulf Coast working after the hurricanes,
Mississippi gave me a $99 per day perdiem,
and Louisiana gave me a $121 per day.
Hell, my daily perdiems were MORE than I made....LOL

 

If your boss is trying to make you give him ur carbons do you have to or is it yours by law?

 

Cwashpimp, you do realise the last post on this thread was 2009. Always look at the dates on a thread before adding a post to it. No need to dredge up old posts.

 

If you have a good accountant, you can use some kind of national average per diem, usually considerably higher than the amount you actually spend on food, for every night you spend on the road.... This is where your log book comes in handy to show proof if you are ever audited by IRS

 

Those infanous 1099 companies in Elk Grove and Mt Prospect throw your log pages in a giant cardboard box with the others over the years and placed in that "spare" room in the Office Trailer for The garbage man to come get in a couple months.

 

Maybe but how does it matter if you keep your copies for your record?
