    As the title says. Where do you purchase your loose leaf logs from? I prefer Carbonless but I can deal with carbon as well. I was looking for the mid size with the pretrip on the front as well. Cheapest I have found so far comes out to 4.20 shipped. That was JJ Kellers logs from a company called 12volt. Any help here would be great!!

    Tried a truck stop yet? Or are you wanting them with your company name printed on it?

    Nah. Was looking for just a blank. The company name being printed is nice. But pricey. I was just looking to purchase 20 loose leaf months or so.

    Why don't you save yourself some unecessary expense not to mention all the wasted time filling out paper logs, figuring up recaps. Go to this website, download their software and give it a try http://www.driversdailylog.com/ It saves so much aggravation and time from paper logs. Automatically figures recaps. Will NOT let you break any rules. You will always know where your 11hr, 14hr, 70hrs or any of that stuff is at a glance. I can take a week off, hop in the truck for that first trip out, and have my logs all caught up in 2 minutes or less. I print off the previous day's log every morning before I start rolling, put my signatures on it, scan it, email it to the office for their file. It's so easy to stay current and log it as I drive it. Such a breeze. I'm not a computer guru. But once I figured it out after a couple of days I knew I'd never use paper logs again. Bill utilized this software when he first started up his operation and has all of his o/o using it. The greatest thing since beer in a can. So much better than paper... So much time and so many aggravating hassels saved.. No more mistakes.. Really neat and clean log sheets that impress the DOT..

    If your wanting to buy loose leaf logs I buy mine from JJ Keller in bulk. Cheaper that way and a lot cheaper then the truck stops.

    I'll pay the extra at the t/s to NOT have JJ Keller pester me about all the other garbage they think I need to buy. Not knocking your way, but those guys do not quit.

    I use Eclipse logs on laptops, but I bought some other stuff a while back from interstate safety dot com. Trouble free order and when they didn't have enough of one item I ordered, they called that day and offered to add a similar item instead for free. So great service for all one of my orders LOL. I need to get some stuff from them anyway, so I'm glad you posted and made me look.

    After a quick scan of their logbook section, it seems they have the pricing on the products you're looking for.

    I would tend to agree. They send me at least 3 emails a day. And then once a month at least a phone call. They are really a pain in the ###. Along with all the insurance agencies and factoring companies. It's really quite frustrating.

    Haha, I guess I'm not the only one who hates those idiots. I use a separate email address when I order vehicle inspection stickers/log books from them. We used to haul lumber for a company who used to buy everything JJ Keller had to sell. The manager would post the stupid posters on the wall that looked like came from a 2nd grade class room. He had shelves full of 3-ring binders full of compliance junk, would make the drivers do the idiotic tests with questions about when to use your windshield wipers ect. And to top it off they only had 2 company drivers.:biggrin_2559:
