Big Road Trucker log book

"I hope they get this straight and eliminate this insane idea of an EOBR being attached to the truck in order for it to function. "

They probably won't get it straight. They might not even come close; after all it is the government we're talking about. I know it's coming, but I bet you see something similar to Cali and CARB backing off their regs at the last minute (for a while). I mean they haven't even got the CDLIS thing to work so you don't need a med card on you, and its been about three years. All trucks with electronic logs is going to be complicated enough that it should be good for a drawn out cluster-you-know-what.

Also, I spend most of my time where cell phones are useless. How does that work with all these electronic doodads?

 

scoottie , where the link to this new guidance?? big road and eclipse are not logging devices, the are simply apps to do a log on a tablet or computer. I think some of you are confusing an a logging device with these log apps.

 

I heard about the new guidance as well. I think it was in an article in overdrive magazine 8 week or two back.and I was hearing that it definitely applies to Google's Keep truckin app

The new guidance is only a couple weeks old that now allows you to keep them digital if you sign them digital. I would print a copy and keep it with you to "politely" inform any officer that is still on the old process.

On key that I am seeing that drivers are getting hit on is not having the DOT card printed out.

 

I cheated, I copy pasted that stuff from the Trucking Industry Regulations forum right here on this site lol.

 

So I'm guessing no one has heard of a device that plugs into your truck that would allow Big Road to be used as an ELD?

 

Just send them an email they will respond real fast.

This seems to be the cat's ###. Can anyone recommend a good windows based tablet? Verizon has been ripping me a new one for years. I may just get whatever they've got. But hey I always got a signal!!!

 

You can bring your verizon tablet to strait talk for $45 per month. And why do you need a windows OS tablet?
