    I am like riprap, put from and to nothing else: let the e-logs write what it wants. When I get stopped by dot they can tell by e-log my hours, when I stopped. If they need anything else they can extrapolate by the picture riprap shows.
    I do put a BOL once a trip.

    Might wanna be careful there. Yes that DOT officer accepted it, but they do not have to. If asked you must print, not fax, not e-mail, nor carrier pigeon.
    You can read it at https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/title49/section/395.8?guidance

    Yeah, I already addressed that in a lengthy post. Doesn't specify acceptable methods of printing though. If they want 'em on paper that bad, I'll email it and they can print it out

    And it says you must be "given an opportunity to print". What "might happen" could be argued forever, but I think the fact that you've already had one accepted proves that it works.
