    Not anymore. They are all pretty much on e-logs. I'll be honest, I got mine in May of last year and I love them. Last week I ran 4009 miles on them, still had 40 minutes left of my 70 and I was picking up hours as well.

    Watkins Shepard still runs paper for the most part. Only a few of our trucks are on E-logs. I talked to one of them and he says he likes it.

    I've been on them for 4 years I will not work for a company that doesn't have them.


    How many years have you been driving and why are you asking?

    You do realize that doing 2x the work for the same pay keeps wages low. Why should they pay drives a good wage to run legal when most run illegal for less pay?

    Good point but keep in mind the the bottom feeders dont pay good AND make you run legal. I highly recommend finding small company that pays well and they let you decide how you run. Just finished my first year OTR and work for a small company making .40cpm, all weekends homes, and still make 1000+ weekly.
