E log vs paper

E-log printed

 

drivers daily log don't print VIR'S?????

i don't call it elog. i just call it a laptop program.

 

I've used both and I prefer Elogs. Yes it can be a pain sometimes but the positive far outweigh the negatives, for me at least.

 

This #### argument again. Paper will always be superior to elogs if you know what you're doing. I've had log violations, but I've NEVER been shut down. Most I've ever been written up for is a general form and manner, 1 for flagging, and 1 for no bol #. Other than that no problems or issues. If you can't make more money on a paper log than you can on elogs there's something wrong as far as I'm concerned.

 

Why is paper superior?

 

i like the argument that they make more on elogs then paper.

i see it as, if that's the case. they weren't making much to begin with. cuz i did that box thing. and it was a BIG pay cut.

 

I have DDL on a couple laptops so that, if my main computer crashes, I can take my backups, put them on the other PC and continue to march. Aside from that, I also have paper logs in the truck to go to, if needed.

 

You didn't make one valid point in your post.
I've had my Elogs crap out. I used the big road app on my phone and kept going. I had my previous logs emailed to me so I had them if dot wanted to see them.
So all this "paper is superior" is irrelevant.
My Qualcomm got fixed when I got back to the shop. Put a new brain in it. Took half hour and I was rolling again.

 

Riddle me this why has there been 18% more truck fatalities since 2009 if elogs are so great and promote safety?Theres nothing good about elogs unless your lazy or cant do simple math.It also promotes driving like an idiot to get done what you need to do before your 14 is up.
