The department is required to keep the monthly mileage log on file for five years.

Short Term Rental/Temporary Assignments

Nebraska State Statute requires the submissions of a motor vehicle log for each use of a vehicle. An accurate record of all mileage should be recorded on the Vehicle Operation Log each time the Vehicle is used. This log may cover one or more consecutive days of travel. Each driver will sign the Vehicle Operation Log certifying the mileage recorded as driven and submit it to the Transportation Services dispatcher when the vehicle is returned. When recording mileage on the log, use the starting and ending mileage. In case of odometer failure, map mileage should be recorded. The driver should complete the Vehicle Discrepancy List on the Vehicle Operation Log if mechanical problems of any type are encountered while operating the vehicle. Only through close cooperation between drivers and Transportation services can the highest possible standard of vehicle safety and reliability be achieved.
