    Always better to be behind on one book than be caught with 2. I've done some sketchy stuff over the years, I've never had more than one book. Although I've had a lot of loose leaf pages blow away in a wind gust I had to "recreate".

    Now that I've gotten a couple days on paper it is coming back to me. Not that I've ever done paper more than that first week with landstar.
    My biggest confusion is day one and day 8. I'm only on day four at the moment so come day 8 I will be back to ask how to move forward. In my mind as all the days move up one, day one just falls off and I get to add that time back to the 70. But I tried that a few months ago and it didn't work out. I thought I was getting 8 hours back but got none back.

    except it’s not, as you actually pointed out in your own post, you legally have 14 minutes of wiggle room to stay legal on paper, where as an eld is to the minute.

    14 minutes means that quick back up you sat in or that Taco Bell you had for lunch making a break for it, you can still drive to get home, where as an eld might leave you just short, or in violation of drive time

    Officer: "Let me see your log book."
    Driver: "Which one?"
    Officer: "The one you haven't lied in."
    Driver hands officer a brand new unused logbook!
