    I've been calling a lot of the larger trucking companies and a lot of them require drivers to use ELD's/EOBR's. Do you guys know of any trucking companies that accept paper logs and don't require a computer in the truck? If so, please share the name of the company!

    Thanks in advance!

    Maybe none.

    I trained with Crete Carrier from May 2004 to July 2004 and drove with them until July 2006. My trainer said he asked someone in management if Crete would ever switch to electronic logs and the manager responded yes that Crete would some day use electronic logs. My trainer then asked how soon the manager thought that would be and the response was Crete would not switch until it was absolutely the only legal way to log and not one day sooner. ABF still uses paper logs.

    According to my trainer, elogs are now required by law for any company with over 50 trucks.

    If you have exp you may have to go with a smaller company.Most mega carriers have elogs.The ones that don't if any will be getting them installed in the not too distant future.
