I met an owner op who requires his drivers who drives his trucks to carry 3 log books. One to show to the "man" one for the accounting people, and one for him to keep at his home office if he gets audited.

Just got one thing to say

Ohh hell no

Then I heard from my legal people that their is something called csa score. Is that like the fmcsa saftey records like they use to do? Kinda like another dac services report?

What OVM said.
Also, there is no reason whatsoever for a fleet owner [person who owns more than one truck, as opposed to an owner operator, who drives the truck he owns] to have a driver submit copies of their logbook to him/her.
Somebody's BS meter needs a tuneup.

Having one's own authority is an area I'm not real familiar with, but wouldn't the logs kept by the aforementioned 'accounting people' be sufficient in case of an audit? :confused:

Accounting people may be his payroll people.
Logs are required to be at the home office.

I agree. But I would start with everyone who has replied to this thread :D

Yep. But if I hadn't replied, I wouldn't have learned why an owner might need copies of a driver's logs, and learning stuff [even if it seems irrelevant & useless stuff] is never wasted time, IMO.
Getting the last word is, though, so it's all yours now. :D

Actually, I think you and Zorry took me wrong. I think the OP is BS'ing.

I meant the OP - Rocketman is smart enough to fix a toilet, and in my book, that's several pay grades above driving. ;)

Bad part is...it's the opposite. I don't know how many times I drove right past the driveway at the yard before I finally learned it...lol. I still miss the back entrance nearly every time. That's Logisitcs! Making John proud! :D

Back entrance is the driveway between the blue awnings. ;)

Even if we had our MC number we wouldn't let someone run with three log books. It's not worth the risk if a driver gets in an accident. Keeping it legal is the best way to go.
