    These logs measure 8.5" x11", or very close.
    The blue 1" binder actually looks like it 10"x11".
    The JJ Kellers I use say 612-MP (8537) on the cover sheet.
    You can probably order them, but I just snag a pack at J or loves when I need one..

    Download and pay for Driver's Daily Log on a laptop and throw away the loose leaf nonsense. You don't even have to keep the last 8 days printed logs onhand anymore you just have to be able to print them on demand. My laptop recently died and man what a PIA doing loose leaf logs is. Massive waste of time. Can't get a new device and back on DDL soon enough!

    NEVER!!!! I'm stuck in the '80's bro!! And never coming out.!! o_O

    It does get pretty tricky to keep track of them last 8. Quite difficult to put em back on the 3 ring when I grab the new one for the next day.. LoL :rolleyes:

    Stuck in the 80s, that’s funny. I can’t imagine giving up paper logs. I guess it’s a lost Art Form these days. All that talent gone.

    They don't have a backup service?

    I use trucklogger. It had backup.
    wipeout the hard drive. No problem.
    buy a new laptop. No problem.
    Just sync to their server and you was back in business.

    It also did a backup file you could save to a thumbdrive.

    How do those apps work?

    Do they GPS track you? Do they make all the log entries for you like an Eld?

    It might be a wise idea if there was something like that so that you could always document your arrival and departure times, detention, Etc.

    No, you cant transfer the license it's only for the one device. New device, pay again. Not a big deal I usually get about 5 years out of a laptop before I toss them in the trash.

    No. DDL does none of that. If you want that you need an ELD but even with ELD good luck having anyone use that as proof of your detention because I never saw it happen anywhere when I had an ELD. DDL is a simple logging program on your laptop. It's basically loose leaf logs on a laptop. Really neat, tidy and clean and won't allow you to log anything that's a violation. Automatically figures your 70 you don't even have to think about any of that nonsense. It's way more efficient than scribbling lines on paper.

    That bites.

    Trucklogger was a one time purchase. Just log in with your account.

    The price of paper logs keeps goin up, No more bulk pack deals. Probably be cheaper with the computer version.
