Question: What information should be displayed on the header for co-driver operations?

Guidance: The header should contain the information of the current co-driver. If there is no active co-driver at the time of inspection, then this field should be left blank. If a co-driver has been active during the record retention selection, the co-driver will be listed in the user list of the data transfer file. For the back-up print or display, providers may list the co-driver active for that day in the daily header.
