Loose leaf & regular book quesiton
 
If I would happen to "lose" a page or 3 out of my log book, can I shove some loose leaf sheets in there and still be legal, or is it one or the other?

My opinion is.

Why don't you make your log book a lose leaf that you currently have?

Buy a clip board and clip them in there date order, making sure you have the original and copy just like it is in the log book.

Most log books are not numbered and then you can place the log sheets in there (as long as they are all the same kind) to account for 31 days.
You might make sure your companies log book isn't in a specific order, but it is very rare. They may have labels for the dates for you, but tell them you messed up and hand write the date.

Many drivers make their log books into lease leaf because the log books take up their arm room when doing the grid and of course for other reasons, I won't mention even though DOT is fully aware of it.

Simple fix!

I sure am glad we don't have to screw with old fashioned logs anymore! :D

Yeah, your not going to fool the DOT, they know what your doing and have seen it many times. Just fix your logs and stay out of trouble and odds are the DOT will never want to see them. Personally I think it's easier to keep them as loose log sheets.

Contrary to want people think the DOT really isn't out to get you, their job is to make sure the roads are safe and most of them are pretty nice nice guys.

Can anyone cite the regulation that states that a binded log book must contain a certain amount of pages?








I didn't think so. :wink:

regs say you have to have the last 7 days. doesn't even say they have to be in order. guess you could just had over 7 days worth of logs all wrinkled and folded covered in coffee stains and the dot cant legally do anything. oh i'm sure they would prolly pull you around back though! :wink:
