Vehicle Logbook Maintenance

Maintain the logbook for vehicles where the kilometer readings shall be authenticated by the users. The diesel provision is to be captured in the logbook. The average consumption of the vehicle is known, and you can check the consumption vis-a-vis kilometers run.

As everyone suggests, you can have a logbook. Two things here:

1. Own vehicle
2. Through contractor

Own Vehicle

If it's your own vehicle, the logbook can be maintained, and you can ask the driver to get a signature from the traveler. Additionally, you can establish a partnership with a petrol station to help monitor the actual kilometers done with every refill. Furthermore, you can keep a logbook at your security checkpoint to track the average kilometers driven based on the location mentioned.

Through Contractor

If it's a contractor, installing a meter will assist you better than any other method.

You can maintain daily logs for each trip, noting the start and end kilometers. Additionally, you need to maintain a separate diesel logbook and ensure regular monitoring of both.
