Paper Logs - Working For Two Carriers?

If I drive for Company A in the morning and then Company B in the evening, how do I keep one log book and enter both Home Terminal and Main Office addresses?

Bumped. Seriously nobody knows?

Seriously? Has it occurred to you that your work situation is an anomaly?

Are both these companies required to run logs? If they are local outfits, intrastate they might both be exempt. See here:

Learn The Logbook Rules (HOS)

My guess? No one in this forum does what you are attempting to do. I think the answer is you can't. If logs are required, you'll need a separate log for each company. No idea how you can be legal juggling personal HOS for two different CMV driving jobs in a 24 hour period.

More information might help.

Kevin your asking a very odd question. First and foremost your no longer allowed to run paper as the eld mandate went into effect 12-18-17. So that is out. I also can not think of a situation where you would drive for 2 companies on the same day and be required to keep logs. I guess it could be possible but very unusual to say the least.

G-Town & PJ have the right concerns. But here's another angle.

You may drive a total of 11 hours within a 14 how window each day. The driving time can be "broken up", but once you start duty in the morning, you'll have do be out of the truck 14 hours later.

So I expect in a practical way you'll have maybe 5-6 hours maximum per company. Is that going to work for your two bosses?

We're happy to help out, but we do need more information.

I was trying to keep it simple but if it helps here's my scenario;

I'm driving a Class B CDL straight truck in the evening for 2-3 hours. During the day, I'm training for my Class A. The school wants us to keep paper logs. If I'm driving one of their tractors on a public highway and there is an incident, I would think the officer would want an accurate log book.

The ELD at my employer doesn't require the address info and can be edited to reflect my on-duty/driving time at school. I was hoping to keep track of my work duty on the paper logs as well so both were consistent.

Kevin I’ll give you the simple answer. You can’t do that. You are not allowed legally to keep 2 sets of books. You can get in big trouble for that one. I’m guessing the school is probably trying to get you used to logging. It’s not required as students never drive outside the maxium miles and fall under that exception. First I would ask are you writing for training purposes only on the logs for the school???? If so they are not a legal log and you wouldn’t have any worries. You do pose a different scenario than most here.

...in addition to what PJ wrote, I urge you (if you haven't already) to discuss this with a school official. They might want you to show a full 10 hour break from the time you "log-off" the class B job to the time you start school the next day and log on-duty.

Quite a pickle...

I'll be in compliance with hours of service. Class is 0800 to 1630 and work 1700-2100 or so at the latest.

My instructor said to ask my employer. My employer didn't know. Google didn't either.

If they aren't legal logs and only for training I should hand the school my meticulous log books from last year and tell them to exempt me :)

Any scalehouses or highway patrol offices nearby? I'll bet someone there would have a great answer.
