Paperless logs

I want a paper copy anyway. Your log isn't just for dot, it is also evidence for IRS per diem and driving record to establish experience. Dot officers aren't stupid, they can tell the difference between a driver trying to hide something and paranoia regarding technology.

 

Freedom? Roehl? Once upon a time...... I would only do one, either paper or e log. They don't pay enough to waste your time doing both. If the e log goes down, start a paper log.

 

I understand both sides of the issue here, and being on the hometime fleet one trk is E-logs and the other isnt. So I run a paper log all the time regardless of which truck im in. For me its just easier to keep track of. AS for the DOT I dont have a problem
showing them both logs and explaining why the company has me run a paper log for back up and after the hiccup Quallcom had two weeks ago, Im glad I do.

 

I think it would be a good idea for everyone to keep a paper back up. I really think this would be a non-issue with the DOT.

 

Well my fm informed me that i am the only truck left in his fleet without e-logs, so guess what I get this weekend up in Marshfield?

 

Tell Bill that you aren't smart enough to operate the elogs.

 

Treefork sorry for your luck... The e-logs really are not that bad, it just takes some getting used to. I was on them before I got hurt, and they did work out pretty well, once you learn your way around. Now Meltom teaching someone how to do e-logs is where I find the humor. Oh well, good luck.

 

It's very ironic, I think eLogs make drivers think less. That's not a good thing.... When we started switching at Roehl I had 0 guys on eLogs. Here I have 170 switched, that's like 48% of the company.

 

Good idea! I was thinking I should just suggest instead of wasting time and money on this old freightliner they should just give me one of the new trucks that's ready to go with elogs.

 

Well here I sit in Gary with five hours of drive time left today to get my final 600 miles for Tuesday morning but I have to stay for a 15 minute e log class tomorrow morning before I go. :/
