No, carriers may only be cited under the safety regulations for six months. Logs must be kept per Part 379:
Part 379: Preservation of records Be safe. So, you are saying that supporting data for periodical reports of hours of service are the actual logs?

I'm just curious as to where you guys got your law degrees?

Let me see if I understand you fully. You are "just" curious to know as to where these "so-called" law degrees originated. Or you are curious to "know" just where law degrees come from.

That would seem to be what he is saying... contradicted, of course, by the reg that KC0iv posted.

FMCSA would not be the first govenment entity that has a problem keeping all regs in compliance with each other. Until recently, CT had a law on the books that all male members of a family, who are over the age of 10, had to carry a shotgun to church on Sundays to help protect the congregation from indian attack. Now look at how old some of the gun laws are. Some laws in varying states are still in conflict. What make you think that FMCSA is any different? And, if you claim your meal allowance while you're away from home, and under the HOS rules, you have to keep your log pages for 7 years for IRS. (That's what I was told by a tax audit agent of the IRS.)
