    They are finally talking about adding flexibility to the 14. That will make e-logs a lot easier to swallow..

    I've heard something about that. Something about being able to split the 10hr break in more ways beside 8-2.

    What years? Are they low mileage? Any of them have the fridge built in? Just trying to work up a realistic expectancy. Thanks for the feedback!

    I ran paper logs for 22 years before coming to JCT. And I was just like everyone else. The idea of elogs terrified me. Almost every day I was doing something shady to my book and constantly going over everything making sure I hadn't made a mistake somewhere. Don't think I realized the stress of it all. Less shady as the years went on but still always some tweak here or there.

    I still don't love elogs but it is a incrediblely easy day to day operation. Everything is just automatically done. Very rarely do you ever have to touch the stupid thing.
    Now if I could just manipulate them a bit...lol

    2015 - 2017. Mileage depends on weather or not it was a team truck and how hard a solo driver ran. All of them should have a fridge.

    2016-2017. It really depends on the mileage I just swapped of the driver who got into a new one it only has 50,000 miles on it. They all have fridges they all have APu and eventually they're all going to have inverters to go along with the Apu. They don't have that forward looking radar brake assist thing the only thing on here like that is the lane departure warning system.
