Big Road - E Log ( iPhone or Android )

Why would it be BS?

The rules state it must be completed and signed. If you read on the electronic logs it clearly states printed off daily and signed.

 

I have had the same problem. I was using udrove great logging program but what I have been told is that you have to be able to print off the log everyday and be able to sign it. It shows the last seven days and tracks mileage thru each state but I didn't print it off everyday. It had where I could upload my signature to the website and it would automatically sign my log. I did that but for some states it was not good enough.

 

You do not have to have them pre-printed, you have to have them available to be inspected,(which can be done on your phone/tablet using the BigRoad app). If the LEO requests you to print them to keep for his records/evidence then you must be able to print them. Which I can personally do. Also in Ohio, the Motor Vehicle Enforcement vehicles have wireless printers in them, you can print them in their cars if you want to be a smart #####, LOL. I would also like to add that if you get just the right cop in just the right mood your gonna get a ticket no matter how fine you walk the line. Just my $0.02...

 

Because your log is current. But because of some bureaucratic gotcha it's not. That makes it BS.

 

You will find out the hard way then. At the officer's discretion they might let it slide but they can and most times will issue a ticket.

 

does anyone that runs an actual eobr have a printer?????

i have yet to hear any driver from any of the megas actually mention a printer hooked to their device.

 

That app is NOT a eobr. Eobrs connect to the ECM

 

i've been looking at uDrove. I thought once you save it, that it was essentially "locked" which equated you certifying your logs?
Do you use it for your IFTA filings?

For everyone else, are you guys talking about eLog or EBOR? Like some pointed out, its a huge difference.
