Filing Daily Logs

Once you’ve checked your drivers’ logs, you need to file them.

• file the daily logs and supporting documents within 30 days
• arrange the daily logs and supporting documents in date order
• keep the daily logs and supporting documents for 6 months

Your drivers should keep a copy of that day’s log, and the last 14 days’ logs with them, along with supporting documents. If they are questioned on the road about their driving time, they can use these documents to confirm they have followed HOS rules.

Tip: File your driver’s daily logs by the date on the log, not the day you receive them.
