Driver Log
Unless specifically exempt, CMV drivers must keep daily logs of their time spent off-duty, driving, and on-duty (not driving), and carriers must retain copies of those logs and supporting documents (e.g., fuel records) for at least 6 months. In many cases, drivers must keep these logs electronically using ELDs; however, in cases where drivers are not ordinarily subject to the ELD requirement but must otherwise keep paper logs, this document will serve that purpose.

Monthly Timecard for Short-Haul Drivers
Drivers who qualify for the short-haul exemption in Part 395 of the federal motor carrier safety regulations are exempt from the records of duty status (a/k/a driver logging) and ELD requirements; however, they must still complete a daily timecard, which lists the times they started and ended their work day and the total number of hours worked. This document satisfies the timecard requirement for short-haul drivers, and allows for a month's worth of entries per driver.
Road Test Certificate
This document serves as a road test certificate or documentation evidencing that the carrier has accepted a driver-applicant's prior road test or CDL in lieu of conducting its own road test.
