    On a side note, I love how if we prefer a method of hours recording over someone else's method, we are labeled as outlaws, cheaters, and super truckers.

    Then when we say we run level either way and get the response "then why not use an eobr?"

    I simply say this, it's about PREFERENCE.

    Why does one person choose McDonald's over Wendy's? Preference

    Why does one person choose a camaro over a mustang? Preference

    Manual vs automatic? Preference


    See both systems work just fine, it's what people prefer that changes. Go ahead and call me names, sentences, or even paragraphs. Lol. I don't care, I'm on elogs, I prefer paper. I used to be pro elog, then I realized things are just simpler with paper. Not for cheating but for hours tracking in general for my preference of what I like to do with my paperwork as far as filing and record keeping. Plus if I didn't have elogs then I would have three 12v outlets in my cab instead of 2. Thanks Obama. Lol


    ***That last part was from a YouTube video I watched, I'm definitely not trying to bring up politics. It's just a funny video***

    Was it dark maroon? Sounds familiar...

    My EOBR, (When I'm forced to get one.), will mysteriously be broken all the time, so, being the good, responsible driver that I am, I'll keep paper logs till my EOBR is fixed. (Win, Wink)

    Well at one time it was like a faded maroon with the fiberglass on the hood looking crappy. Then I put a new hood on and painted the truck black and then put a lightning bolt on the side of the good. Its the truck in my profile pic.

    Still no carrier identified, so it's pretty clear you ARE making this stuff up. (You did write that your source works for you, so how hard can this be?)

    Maybe it's time to stop drinking that swill from your part-time gig. (It may freshen your breath, but I gotta ask, does it turn your pee blue?)

    Wow just realized this dude just joined the forum. Not worth wasting my time replying to an incompetent ###. If he would have read my last post I stated I would let him know Thursday as I do back up my posts with facts. Ronin it must suck being a pee - on in your employment but don't hate on the guys that go out and earn the respect they deserve. Have a good one.
