    Does any one know of a IPhone app that has a computer based or Elog type of device that is FMCSA legal to run ? I saw the U-Drove app but was not sure if it's legal to run as a stand alone log

    I am only interested in iPhone or possibly Andoid type applications , not interested in laptop versions


    Thanks in advance

    Only problem I see with the phone apps is that you cannot print and sign the form.

    There was one app for the iPhone that I saw where you used your finger or a stylus on the screen to "sign" your log each day. Then it would e-mail a copy to wherever it needed to be sent to for your company. Not sure if it would be legal per DOT though.

    The Qualcom logs have a button where you "approve" your logs periodically. After you approve them they are no longer editable. The approval process is the accepted electronic method of signing the log. We no longer have to keep a printed signed copy in the truck. This is what the industry will move towards.
