Paper Logs - Working For Two Carriers?
Topic 21685 | Page 3
Then you were very lucky once or twice. You cannot have 2 seperate certified logs (signed). I know of companies who do that or have done it with trainees however the paper log book clearly states for training purposes only and never gets signed if used in connection with the electronic version. The law is very clear you can only have 1 certified log. I know the school is legally exempt and from the sound of it your B employer probably is also. I can’t imagine in 4 total hours of work you can drive far enough from their home of record, deliver, and return. But I could be wrong. Good luck with finding your answer
TWIC:
Transportation Worker Identification Credential
Truck drivers who regularly pick up from or deliver to the shipping ports will often be required to carry a TWIC card.
Your TWIC is a tamper-resistant biometric card which acts as both your identification in secure areas, as well as an indicator of you having passed the necessary security clearance. TWIC cards are valid for five years. The issuance of TWIC cards is overseen by the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.

Now I'm just kinda thinking out loud, but for the last several years my company required us to keep a paper log book and log in to the Qualcomm in our truck every day... go figure.
And if I remember right, I was pulled to the side at a scale once or twice and showed the officer my log book and emailed my Qualcomm logs to them as well.
Qualcomm:
Omnitracs (a.k.a. Qualcomm) is a satellite-based messaging system with built-in GPS capabilities built by Qualcomm. It has a small computer screen and keyboard and is tied into the truck’s computer. It allows trucking companies to track where the driver is at, monitor the truck, and send and receive messages with the driver – similar to email.TWIC:
