    flood, I was told by the elog department to write "Training Log" on there so that the DOT could not say we were running two logs.

    they didn't used to tell people that...... thay told my friends wife thay had some special permit for dot to run it on papre and e-log until she ask to see it..

    and i don't care what permets say they are wrong 16 days a year

    they are going to just hate me when i go to e-logs because i will show them how they are wrong and why they miss log

    Do you have a ded. acct?
    Are the ded. accts to DCs or do you go to the actual stores?

    Let me clarify.

    1. per dium is completely optional
    2. you will be certified for elogs before you get a truck and you will only need paper log book for back up in case the computer dies or you have a log violation. If you have a violation, you need to go on paper logs until safety clears you

    Just a FYI on the per diem: USX will deduct .025 CPM from your regular pay if you elect per diem. In the long term it can also have a measurably negative effect on any Soc Sec benifits one may hope to someday recover.
