Logbook Question

Every time you change your status you have to show what city you're in. Example. Your driving. You stop for fuel in Dallas, you change from driving to on duty you flag it as Dallas.

Keep old BOL number on there. Why are you using this app instead of paper? Doesn't your company want paper logs? How did you get through driving school without learning basic logging?

 

I use that app to. I've never put anything in the origin/destination section. Legally, you're only required to put your location at every change of duty status. O/d is just fluff. I just add the second BOL if I run two the same day. You still were on the first one, so its probably a good idea to keep it on there.

 

Ok on the schooling. As far as the destanation part, I misunderstood you. It does not matter. As long as your flagging the change of status.

 

This app is better than paper IMO. As long as the company has an account, they have access to all your logs electronically without waiting for you to send them in and it has GPS tracking, both of which they can see in near real time.

 

I'm using the same app. I've never filled in that section under the "Form" tab apart from vehicle info and carrier info and our log/safety deparrment hasn't said anything about it in the last 9 months. I just update my location every time I stop. We don't use BOL's though so I can't help you there.

I can't speak for OP but that app is 10x easier than paper, both for me and the company. I wanted to stay on paper but after becoming familiar with it I'll never go back to paper if I can help it.

 

That is cool if your company is cool with it. I guess I am old school and like paper.

 

And its easy to edit. Not that anyone would ever do such a thing.....
