Applicants must provide written consent for these requests, and the consents must accompany the requests. This document can be used for these purposes, and copies should be kept in the drivers' files.

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.
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.
