Paper back-up logs

The rule is carry 8 days of paper. As a company driver, you have to report a malfunction to the company within 24 hrs and the company has 8 days to get it fixed or replaced. If they can't, they have to file an extension with the FMCSA. As for having 8 days logs, the data has to be available and accessible in case of unit failure. I personally can log into my company's Peoplenet account and access or download up to 6 months of my logs and print them out.

 

I was talking about a one truck.....or worse.....a two, three truck operation. We're running a $800 Roadlog on one truck which is a self contained unit. No downloads available. I suppose there would be downloads available but the system is designed to use the memory stick to back the logs up to a hard drive but this is "a truck driver not a computer geek" so it never gets done. The solution so far has been to run a parallel paper copy.
