What large trucking companies still use paper logs

75+ trucks at my company and we use loose leaf logs.

 

LMAO--I'd love to know what other truckstop coffe counter wisdom he shares w/you--& then tell him the bunks in violation cuz he doesn't have white sheets

 

I know there are still drivers using paper logs at Boyd Bros.

 

We're on E-logs but if it happens to malfunction (say log you out and you forget how to get back in) you switch back to paper. That computer thingy tends to malfunction on my big mileage days, not sure what's going on with it. I'll have the shop look at it.

 

From God's lip to his trainers ears. . .

 

Elogs are a double edged sword,
The most common violation I see now when checking csa's as of recent is the 30 minute nonsense that didn't exist a few months ago .
These violations in particular are hitting smaller carriers harder,
Its an easy one to spot .
The larger carriers have mostly switched because they figured out , how to squeeze blood out of a rock with them .
I liked them before the 30 minute nonsense.
Now it's all seemingly pointless.
Do your best and stay safe

 

I totally agree.We shouldn't have to be forced on elogs or anything else by the government.But you know as well as I do it will happen one day.

 

This is probably one of those newbies for a trainer who knows more then the veteran drivers do.

 

I used to think they were the worst idea ever.....til I actually ran with them. We stated with the Cadec system I think it was , and after a short time switched over to the Xata system. Once you learn how it operates it's great. the thing I liked most about it was...it keeps everybody honest...the driver , the company...and let's not forget that 500 mph dispatcher , who thinks you can do miracles over night.....Don't worry too much about it now since I'm retired , but I still think they are good for the industry as whole.
