    Let me get this straight. You where mad at them because you could not manage a legal log. That makes allot of sense. As for being fired and left with out a truck. Don't bet that won't happen as an O/O. Ever hear of CSA 2010? Not only will they ding you for running an illegal log as the driver. But then they will turn around and ding you as the owner. Keep doing it and they will "fire" you. You will not only lose your job but your business as well.

    yes, marten is going paperless logs. I am using it now. they want all their trucks using it by june or july. have to say, been on it now for 3days now. i hate traffic jams with it. it does make logging so much easier now. I dont have to keep up with mileage now. no more me being lazy and not wanting to touch log book. on a 34hr break. it will do it for me :) so electric logs vs paper? 50/50 in my book.

    im sure that my opinion on eobrs is just that "my opinion". but i really have to say that i really cant say anything bad about them. i have not used them but from what ive been told the only real drawback to them is like riverwolf said when your in traffic jams or when you get run off of someones lot after your out of hours. marten has always been a real stickler when it comes to running legal so i would imagine that eobrs wont be too much of a shift for their drivers.
