The following regulation in the FMCSR (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulation) informs any company using an on-board recording device for their record of duty status (RODS) / hours of service (HOS)
395.15 (g) On-board information. Each commercial motor vehicle must have on-board the commercial motor vehicle an information packet containing the following items:
395.15(g)(1) An instruction sheet describing in detail how data may be stored and retrieved from an automatic on board recording system; and
395.15(g)(2) A supply of blank driver's records of duty status graph grids sufficient to record the driver's duty status and other related information for the duration of the current trip.
The reason for 395.15(g)(2) is due to regulation 395.15(f) that states a driver must have 7 or 8 days of their hours of service logs reconstructed in the event of an on-board recorder’s failure.
(f) Reconstruction of records of duty status. Drivers are required to note any failure of automatic on board recording devices, and to reconstruct the driver's record of duty status for the current day, and the past 7 days, less any days for which the drivers have records, and to continue to prepare a handwritten record of all subsequent duty status until the device is again operational.
