I run Landstar EOBR and like using it. I was one of the first to get one. I was using Driver Daily Logs on laptop and liked using that, but you have to print and still hand sign them every day to be legal. So when the EOBR was out I wanted to try one.
e-logs??

You can't do that on paper logs to unless you change them. If the shipper can't load you ontime then they need to give you more time to deliver the load. It's not unsafe to tell them you need more time to deliver load because the shipper took their sweet time loading you.
See with paper log your answer is to not stop to pee or eat or drive unsafe. My EOBR i tell them the shipper took to long to load truck, so I need more time to deliver the load. I also learn if the load did not pay enough for the time i was on it. So next time i dont do those kinda of loads or the shipper will learn to load truck faster.

I am sorry but i would rather see a driver fake a paper log and take the breaks he or she needs and still be able to make their loads and make money, than a driver on an elog that runs his ### off tring to make it sick or not tired and get someone killed. Safety is my number one and ELOGS DONT MAKE SAFE DRIVERS THEY MAKE FORCED DRIVERS DO STUPID ####....
OH Stop acting like a lazy wheel holder who cant figure out a paper log, can only do what your POS dispatcher tells you to do and have yet to relize that trucking was great before stupid lazy drivers ###### IT UP along with the goverment who knows nothing of trucking and transportationLast edited by a moderator: Mar 2, 2013
Big John Classic HQ and landstar8891 Thank this. -
this summer the new HOS start only 1 34 restart in a week or every 168 hours plus you need 2 like 1-5 am off duty time in that 34 restart. You also cant drive more then 8 hours without taking like a 30 minute break. So some loads may have to be changed the way they are run.Just like some loads may need to be changed to run legal with EOBR.

Oh this Explains ALOT......Stevens really thats like swift with alittle prettier trucks......now we all understand why you say what you say....landstar8891 Thanks this. -
You just dont take those loads. If you need more time for what ever the reason is you tell them. You tell them their was an accident and tell them the road is closed. If you book loads so tight you cant handle a city traffic jam . Guess what that tells you. It says you need more time on the load.

so your going to take 2 days on a 600 mile load....get real....you can run 600 miles easy in a day but if you catch a back up your could easly burn up to much time and come up short making it so now you have to take 10 hours get up drive the last 50 miles unload and try and get another load....lmao but if that is how you run than good for you. I have a perfect record for on time loads, unloads. Never had a wreck in over a million miles a few speeding tickets DOT inspections all good. Ill keep my record and my paper log. I get the work done and am stil well rested and not falling asleep behind the wheel......No matter what anyone says here the facts still hold their own ELOGS MAKE DRIVERS DRIVER REGARDLESS OF HOW THEY FEEL. If they where up all night sick for some reason or just plain having a bad day and sleepy as hell, that Elog makes you run. I dont feel well or i hit traffic and get stuck for 3 hours i can stop wait it out take a nap and get to where i need to be SAFELY....

I love the guys that are on there 10 hour off duty time.They just came off an 11 hour drive and then they can't sleep.The ''e-log'' tells them to go sleep,but there body is wide awake.They hang out in the truck stop or they play x box for 10 hours.
So 10 hours later they are back on the highway driving another 11..Let's see here..10+11+10= 31 Hours AWAKE/no sleep...That is SAFE...HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
