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.

Accident Register
Carriers must maintain an accident register that lists all “DOT recordable accidents” occurring within the prior 3 years. A “DOT recordable accident” is one that involves (i) a fatality; (ii) bodily injury to a person who, as a result of the injury, immediately receives medical treatment away from the scene; or (iii) disabling damage to any vehicle that requires that motor vehicle to be towed away from the scene. This document is intended to satisfy this requirement.
Annual Review of Driving Record
Carriers must annually review each driver’s motor vehicle record as well as other information described in 49 C.F.R. 391.25, and complete an Annual Review form to place in the driver’s file. This document serves as the Annual Review of Driving Record.
Vehicle Inspector Qualification Certificate
Carriers are responsible for ensuring that any individuals performing annual inspections under 49 C.F.R. 396.19 are qualified to do so. This form should be completed and retained by the carrier for any such individual.
