What is the carrier's responsibility regarding drivers' daily logs?

The carrier's responsibility regarding drivers' daily logs includes monitoring and retaining these logs for a period of six months. This retention period is crucial for ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements, as the logs provide essential evidence of hours of service and compliance with driving time limitations. By keeping these records, the carrier can effectively manage driver fatigue, ensuring that drivers do not exceed the legal limits for daily and weekly driving hours. This practice also facilitates any audits or inspections by regulatory authorities, demonstrating the carrier's commitment to safety and compliance with the National Safety Code.

While updating logs daily is essential for drivers to accurately record their hours, it is the carrier’s obligation to monitor and store these logs for the specified duration. The options involving submission frequencies or permanent filing do not align with the established requirements for log management.
