Drivers log books

I’m going to do a bit of driving for a Company who use logbooks. I’ve never used one before… Just wondering what the craic is with them? I’m sure they’ll go through then tomorrow with me but a heads up would be good. Cheers

As far as I know, the most essential thing about log books is to make sure that you don’t hand your wages log book over to the men with clipboards. :laughing:

It’s effectively the same format as making manual entries on the back of an old school tacho chart if you’ve done that before.

Make sure they give you at least 2 log books

Instructions on how to use them are best found on the Old Timers forum

1st off I wouldn’t get too inventive with your log book as don’t forget the tacho head is making a record too!

When I run on domestic I use my Digi card and set it to out of scope, I just think it’s a whole lot easier than a logbook

This is the example in the official guidance

I’ve never seen a log book that had that format. :confused:

This is how I remember the ones I used.As I said the same format as used to make manual entries on the back of the old tacho charts.
