Tracked hours flow straight into a polished invoice — no copy-paste, no manual math.
Transportation work happens across routes, vehicles, pickups, dropoffs, dispatch changes, and waiting time. A useful timesheet gives you a clean record of who worked, where the time went, which job or shipment it belonged to, and which totals feed payroll, billing, or job costing.
For non-exempt workers covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions, covered U.S. employers must keep daily hours worked and total hours worked each workweek. The FLSA does not require one specific timekeeping form or system, but the method must be complete and accurate.
Driver logs and payroll timesheets serve different jobs. U.S. commercial motor vehicle driver logs classify each 24-hour period as off duty, sleeper berth, driving, or on-duty not driving. Payroll records focus on hours worked each day, total weekly hours, rates, pay categories, and approvals.
Transportation teams should keep those records reconcilable. FMCSA on-duty not-driving time includes waiting to be dispatched, inspecting or servicing the vehicle, loading or unloading, attending a disabled vehicle, and other motor-carrier work. Dispatch records, trip records, bills of lading, mobile communications, payroll records, and settlement sheets help verify that time.
A transportation timesheet works best when it captures the operational detail behind the hours. Useful fields include employee, route or job, vehicle, trailer, date, start and stop times, meal or break time, miles, shipment reference, customer or location, and notes for delays, loading, or inspections.
Driver records of duty status require fields such as date, total miles driven, truck or tractor and trailer number, carrier, driver certification, 24-hour start time, total hours, and shipping document number or shipper and commodity. Those fields should stay clear, consistent, and easy to compare with payroll totals.
A one-off timesheet is enough for a small route, a single delivery job, or a quick payroll check. It is limited when the same routes, carriers, clients, or dispatch groups need weekly review, budget tracking, approval history, and exportable records for billing or payroll handoff.
Everhour Project Budgeting fits that recurring transportation workflow by tracking hour-based or money-based budgets as time and expenses are logged. Teams can use recurring budget periods, threshold email alerts, budget protection, expense controls, and client-level budgets when route work needs a durable operating record.

Payroll review needs employee name, date, daily hours worked, total weekly hours, pay category, rate, and approval status. For non-exempt workers covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions, covered U.S. employers must keep accurate daily hours worked and total hours worked each workweek.
Transportation teams should classify waiting, loading, unloading, inspections, repairs, and dispatch-related time separately from driving time when those categories affect operations or records. FMCSA on-duty time includes waiting to be dispatched, inspecting or servicing the vehicle, loading or unloading, attending a disabled vehicle, and other motor-carrier work.
FMCSA driver logs do not automatically replace company timesheets. Driver logs record duty status for hours-of-service compliance, while payroll timesheets support wage, billing, approval, and reporting workflows. A good setup keeps both records consistent and reconciles them with dispatch, trip, bill of lading, payroll, and settlement records.
Covered U.S. employers must preserve payroll records for at least three years and basic time and earnings records, including daily start and stop time cards or sheets, for at least two years. Transportation teams should also retain supporting documents needed to verify driver logs and on-duty not-driving time.
Weekend or holiday route assignments do not create FLSA premium pay by the calendar alone. Unless exempt, covered employees earn overtime only after hours worked exceed 40 in a fixed 168-hour workweek, with pay at not less than one and one-half times the regular rate of pay.
Everhour Project Budgeting tracks hour-based or money-based budgets as transportation teams log route, job, or client time. Recurring budget periods, threshold email alerts, budget protection, expense controls, and client-level budgets help managers see whether ongoing work is staying within planned limits.
Everhour Reporting can export saved reports in CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF format for spreadsheet review, client sharing, or archives. Teams can build reports with columns for project, client, member, comments, billable time, labor costs, invoice status, and budget metrics.
Track transportation hours against routes, jobs, clients, and budgets. Everhour connects approved time to budget alerts, expense controls, and billing review for clearer transportation cost control.
