    I know and understand why drivers use the notepad, I've been handed them on more than one occasion as a driver's "log book". What I don't understand why a driver can write it in his notebook, why can't he complete his log book.

    Neatness is the only thing I can think of. I know that many times after the day of running the book looks really bad. I sometimes tear out the page and redo it neater. I think the neater look is a plus when looked at by DOT.

    I have never used a notepad. I prefer to use the logbook.

    For the very same reason UPS and Fed-Ex drive around with the doors open...on their local trucks.

    With the new rules, and crooked ### companies. Every second counts. And they never draw lines.

    And here you was thinking, it was because they didn't have AC.

    I happen to know for a fact that the UPS trucks do not have AC. I shuttled some new ones when it was 95 degrees out.
