    In your haste to reply you obviously overlooked my reference to the OPs post referencing onboard recorders, not logging apps for your platform of choice.

    You ran across a butthead in uniform. Contest the ticket.

    Just differentiating between AOBRD (used to be EOBRD) and ELD. The first has clear rules in 395.15. The second, not so much.

    No, you need a printer that is Bluetooth enabled. I was simply noting you don't need Internet access to print.

    I love the elogs and the autos. I like things that make life easier. People are always free to join the Amish if they don't like modern conveniences.

    that's been a well known fact since the day the printer was invented. and required a printer cable. PARALLEL STYLE. not todays usb style.

    New seldom equates to better, in this case it is more complicated and more big brother. I don't need either.

    I can go online to view ours and print etc, do I like running paper logs when it goes out? Absolutely, do I like some of he perks of it? Absolutely. Neither is totally good or bad but for the most part elogs are preferred by me. The key is knowing how to work you clock legally.
