Company Vehicle Log Form

Use a Company Vehicle Log template to make your document workflow more streamlined.

What the company vehicle log records

A Company Vehicle Log Form records who used a company vehicle, when and where it was driven, the vehicle and odometer details, and the business purpose of each trip. Organizations use it to support fleet oversight, mileage review, reimbursement, and internal accountability. With signNow, a sender uploads the log, reviews automatically detected fillable fields, assigns driver and supervisor roles, sends the document, and stores the completed record with an audit trail. The form’s retention period depends on its business purpose and applicable federal, state, contractual, or tax requirements.

Who benefits from vehicle logs

Company Vehicle Log Form supports drivers, supervisors, and fleet teams that need a consistent record of business vehicle activity.

  • A solo contractor can record business mileage, fuel purchases, and vehicle use in one signed log, preserving a dated record for internal accounting and reimbursement review.
  • A regional construction company can route daily vehicle logs from field drivers to supervisors, keeping equipment assignments, odometer readings, and approval records together.
  • An enterprise fleet department can standardize logs across locations, delegate sending, and retain signed records with audit trails for policy reviews and insurance inquiries.

These tasks are executed by both individual contributors and centralized administrators depending on organizational policy and required controls.

Complete the log on mobile devices

Drivers can use the signNow mobile app on iOS and Android to review the Company Vehicle Log Form away from a desk. Camera-based document capture can help digitize a paper vehicle log before fields are checked and routed for signature.

  • Operating systems iOS and Android
  • Document capture Camera document capture

Mobile completion is useful for field drivers, supervisors, and dispatch teams, but the organization should still control account access and retention. Confirm device management, network availability, signer authentication, and the company’s process for preserving the signed PDF with its audit trail.

Process a company vehicle log

A defined sequence keeps vehicle details accurate, routes approvals clearly, and preserves the completed log for later review.

01

Prepare the log

Review vehicle, driver, mileage, date, destination, and business-purpose fields before sending.
02

Deliver to signers

Send the completed log to the employee, supervisor, or fleet approver by email.
03

Complete signer review

Each recipient reviews the recorded trip details and signs from a supported device.
04

Archive the record

Download the signed log and preserve its audit trail with fleet records.

Set a vehicle log retention schedule

Retention depends on what the Company Vehicle Log Form documents and which legal or business record it supports.

01

At least 3 years: tax records

Apply the company’s written fleet-retention policy and state requirements.
02

Six years: substantial tax understatement

IRC §6501(a) generally covers federal tax assessment records; six years may apply after a 25% income understatement.
03

Three years: payroll records

Retain vehicle logs supporting payroll records for the period required by the applicable payroll rule.
04

Five years: OSHA injury records

Keep records connected to OSHA injury reporting for five years following the relevant year.
05

Policy-defined fleet records

Use a longer period when a contract, claim, investigation, or state rule requires it.

Keep vehicle logs audit-ready

Accurate fields, preserved audit trails, and a documented retention decision make Company Vehicle Log Form records easier to review later.

Set retention by record purpose

Define retention by record purpose. Federal tax records generally follow IRC §6501(a), while payroll, OSHA, contract, and state requirements may require different periods. Document the selected period in the fleet policy rather than applying one duration to every Company Vehicle Log Form.

Preserve the audit trail with each log

Export the signNow audit trail with the completed log when the record supports reimbursement, an incident review, or a disputed vehicle assignment. Keep the certificate of completion, signer events, timestamps, and final PDF together so reviewers can connect the signature to the exact vehicle entry.

Lock required vehicle information fields

Use a controlled Company Vehicle Log Form template containing required vehicle number, driver, date, odometer, destination, and business-purpose fields. Test field detection after every template revision and prevent drivers from editing supervisory approval fields.

Archive logs under controlled access

Store completed logs in a restricted fleet or records repository with access based on job duties. Apply the organization’s retention hold process when an accident, claim, investigation, or audit requires preservation beyond the planned schedule.

Connect vehicle logs to business systems

Route completed Company Vehicle Log Form records into fleet, accounting, project, and storage systems using named signNow integrations.

Legal standing of a vehicle log

A signed Company Vehicle Log Form can support a U.S. business record when the signer demonstrates intent, consents to electronic records, can be identified, and the record remains reproducible. ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. chapter 96, and applicable UETA law generally recognize qualifying electronic signatures. Wills, court orders, and certain family-law documents remain excluded.

Why teams look for DocuSign alternatives

Troubleshoot company vehicle logs

Resolve field, signer, plan, and compliance questions before the Company Vehicle Log Form is finalized and archived.

Upload the original Company Vehicle Log Form as a clear PDF, then check each detected field before sending. signNow templates and audit trails help preserve the approved field arrangement after the document is routed for signature.

The signNow Business plan includes legally binding eSignatures, templates, audit trails, and mobile apps at $8/user/month when billed annually. Confirm the account plan and workspace permissions before assigning the vehicle log to a sender.

Use signNow’s SMS OTP or other available signer-authentication controls when driver identity needs additional verification. The audit trail records signing activity, while company policy determines whether stronger authentication is required.

ESIGN and UETA generally recognize electronic signatures for business transactions when intent, consent, attribution, and record retention are established. Preserve the completed log and its audit trail; confirm any state-specific fleet or employment rule separately.

A vehicle log containing protected health information may require a HIPAA-compliant workflow and business associate agreement. signNow identifies HIPAA compliance as requiring a BAA; involve your privacy officer before including patient information.

Business Premium is $15/user/month annually and includes bulk send, while Business is $8/user/month annually. If many drivers receive the same log, confirm whether bulk sending is necessary before selecting a plan.
