Manual Logs vs. ELD
While Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) are mandatory for many commercial drivers, having a manual backup logbook is critical for system failures or exempt operations. This template helps you manually track your Hours of Service (HOS).
How to Use This Logbook
This sheet separates your time into the standard DOT categories:
- Driving: Time spent behind the wheel.
- On-Duty (Not Driving): Loading, unloading, fueling, or inspections.
- Off-Duty/Sleeper Berth: Mandatory rest periods.
