Total Hours Available Tomorrow

That's kind of what I'm getting at, dude may not need to "log" just time card it with records. I'd also like to see all 8 days worth of logs for said driver.

 

Good to know. Sounds like you guys may want to spend some time just filling out the summary of hours and getting comfortable with it. I made a presentation once upon a time to teach my company hours of service. Nobody paid attention and/or cared about it but it was helpful in understanding the summary. With that being said, you aren't required to fill the summary of hours out. You could just run the recap (previous 7 days) and add it up every day.

 

Get an E log and your problems are solved.
