Which format should I download?
This collection offers PDFs exclusively, which are ideal for print-and-use scenarios. Choose this format if you need a quick, fillable log book that can be printed, signed, and kept in a physical logbook or binder. PDFs also work well for digital storage—simply save and share with dispatchers or accountants. If the primary need is electronic submission (e.g., to a fleet management system), these PDFs can be scanned or converted to digital formats later. Avoid this set if you require editable spreadsheets or pre-filled online forms.

How to use this Driver' Daily Log Book template
What is a driver daily log book used for?
A driver daily log book records a commercial driver's hours of service, duty status, miles driven, and stops across a 24-hour day. It documents driving, on-duty, off-duty, and sleeper berth time so carriers can verify compliance with hours-of-service rules and keep an accurate record of activity.
What information should a driver daily log book include?
A complete log includes the date, driver and carrier name, truck and trailer numbers, starting location, total miles, and a 24-hour grid marking duty status changes. It also notes shipping document numbers, remarks for each status change, and the driver's signature certifying the entries are accurate.
How are duty status changes recorded in a daily log?
Each status change is plotted on a graph grid divided into off-duty, sleeper berth, driving, and on-duty not driving lines. You draw a continuous line across the hours, marking the exact time and location of each switch, so the day's total hours in each category add up correctly.
