A daily log must document how many previous days?

1. Seven

2. Ten

3. Fourteen

4. Twenty

The correct answer is: Fourteen

The correct answer is fourteen. A daily log is an essential record for commercial drivers, particularly in the context of Hours of Service regulations. This log must not only account for the current day but also track the previous fourteen days of driving activity. This helps ensure compliance with regulations designed to prevent fatigue and ensure safety on the road by providing a clear history of driving hours, breaks, and rest periods. Keeping track of fourteen days provides sufficient insight into a driver's patterns, allows for better monitoring of compliance with driving regulations, and supports enforcement actions should there be any violations. Maintaining records for fewer days, such as seven or ten, does not provide a comprehensive view of a driver's behaviors over a significant period and would limit the ability to effectively manage and regulate driving hours.
