A log book contains a detailed breakdown of the specific hours spent on and off duty, as well as a record of the total hours spent driving and on breaks.
The log must contain the following information: duty hours, driving hours, and time spent sleeping. Electronic logging devices are installed in commercial trucks and connect to the engines to keep track of the vehicle’s time spent in motion.
Truck drivers who do not have an electronic logging device in their trucks receive citations and fines, and their trucks can be suspended from use.
