Preprinted Info Log Look

I had a book on one when I was working local. Everything was filled out besides truck number trailer and date. You're right it gets annoying. I'll try to look through old log books if there is a link maybe.


Have you thought about using electronic computer logs? Same as paper but easier to use and all you have to get is a printer incase dot asks you to print them out. Other wise when they ask you chances are you can get away with not getting logs looked at just by saying "it's electronic"

 

Go to a office supply store & get a rubber stamp made with your company name & address on it. This will be cheaper than the printing charge for the logbooks.

 

JJ Keller will pre print them.

 

Driver logbook .Com does that, they're over $6 apiece though.

 

I made and printed my own log pages on an Excel spreadsheet. The only parts I had to enter by hand were date, mileage, shipper info, graph grid and signature. I even colour-coded it for U.S. info vs. Canadian as there are some differences and not all the same info is required in both countries. Numerous inspections (a lot of quick checks due to most loads being OS, so always getting checked for permits) and never a question or comment other than how neat and organized it all was.

Hard to believe actual printed logbooks haven't gone the way of the horse and buggy with all the better options out there. I use Driver's Daily Logs www.driversdailylogs.com pay $50 and good to go as long as your computer lasts.

 

If you Google it you will find a few companies that will do it. I went through the ordering process jsut to see my final cost. For 1000 log book pages in binder format with carbonless paper it was $300

 

That's really expensive. The only thing that sucks about Driver's Daily Logs is it's one license, one computer. So when your computer dies you have to buy it again. I got 4 years out of my last laptop and that was by being abusive with it tossing it around. Probably would have lasted a couple of more years had I cared to not be careless with it.
