I use the notes app that we all have on our phone.
I just speak into my headphones whatever the
Mileage is and save it.
At the end of the day I clear them

Take a pic with your phone. Just make sure the flash is on if it's dark out. Hehehe

Lol, I just make a mental note of it and write it down when it’s safe.

Our ELD's also record the IFTA/IRP information. We never have to write down the miles for each state.

The Big Road ELD I use does record mileage, but my it's not very accurate.
Tks, PK -
I write mine down on a small notepad. As others mentioned, you usually only need to write down the last three numbers. When you’re stopped, you can fill in the rest. I’ve known about the voice recorder method, but I wouldn’t like using it because then you have to transfer the information to paper. I’m a bit lazy.
I think a legit case can be made that writing down the mileage is no longer necessary if your device tracks down the miles driven in each state. Big fleets are not having their drivers write it down. Why should we?Last edited: Mar 28, 2019
