    Here's a question that just came to mind. Do I need a clipboard to fill out my log book when I am on the truck or is it E logs all the way? I know for a fact that some companies have you fill out a paper log for a while on a trainers truck just to get used to it.

    Look forward to it. I know Im older, but I am doing this because I dont feel that way. I so enjoy listening to the dreams of the young. I dont care what age you are, you are the one that makes it happen. Those I read on this forum have the desire, the drive, and the ability to do what you want. I look forward to meeting you and look forward to seeing you win.

    My student is doing his paper log for the first week. Now that's me having him do that I don't know about other trainers. Clipboard is always a great thing to have.

    When I went through training the paper log was required for the first week. Is this no longer the case?

    Will I do it to show the last 8 days for DOT purposes. Because when they log in to PEOPLENET the first time it doesn't show what they were doing the last 8.

    Yes, clip board is needed. First for the logs, then when you get your own truck its perfect for keeping the bills on your current load. Handy for filling out com checks too. I would get the plastic one that flips open. The aluminum one is way nicer, but it scratches the dash and all the plastic.

    Then, when you finish that trip, scan the paperwork, then file the trip in a expandable file box.
