Logbook Software

there are several freeware programs like that available to use. I use doPDF.

i wish there was something that worked with linux OS

 

I am using Trucklogger on my Mac. It was working real well until the July 1st rules change took effect.
It doesn't properly calculate the hours after doing a reset. The company I drive for uses Eclipse software in the office and it has the same issues.

 

Not to sound like a cheerleader but BigRoad handled the HOS changes without a hitch. Really loving this app

 

I looked at that and it required the location gps to be enabled. Very costly in Canada.

 

My Eclipse program handled it perfectly. Maybe you need to update.

 

Roadmedic: Big Road says that the GPS does not have to always be enabled.

 

When I downloaded it, and looked it over, it stated it had to enable my gps in order to operate it. It also did not have a way to print, and since I have DDL and the company will not accept it, it made no sense to even consider something that would be costly in Canada if I forgot to disable it.

Right now, gps is disabled on my phone at all times.

 

I have the latest update from Trucklogger. Company says they have current updates on Eclipse.
I am just making sure I have covered all the requirements of the HOS revision. It is nice to have the software to double check my numbers, but right now I don't trust it(software).

 

You better check. I have the July 1 update and it isn't working right. They have an announcement on their homepage admitting problems with recap and a promise for another update in the next few days. I have also noted faults with pre-logging where the drive line turns red as-if I was doing an 8/2 split when I'm not. When the future time becomes present, it fixes itself.

I've been a big fan of Eclipse, but they seriously fumbled the HOS change.
