# Short-haul time record

A term used when buying dump truck.

The timecard a carrier keeps for six months when its local drivers run no log at all.

Driver qualification file is the folder on who a driver is, kept three years after they leave. This is the folder on what a driver did, kept six months, and it fails the same way in an [asset purchase](https://searchspheresource.com/glossary/asset-vs-stock-sale). Aggregate hauling is local, so most of these fleets run the 150 air-mile exception and hold no electronic log at all. That is the difference from the device term on the trucking guide: one is about a history nobody can edit, this is about the drivers who have neither. The exception collapses the moment a driver runs past the radius or comes back after fourteen hours. Ask for six months of time records and look for the days that broke either limit, because a fleet that cannot produce them has unpriced driver hours.
