The only carrier that I know who uses paperless logs is Werner. If you don't want to work for a large carrier, you may just want to get used to filling out paper logs. It is my understanding that in order to be able to use paperless logs, you need to get Federal approval. It is something of a hassle.

Werner may be the only national but we run them in the midwest for one of the "big three" automotive companies and am quite sure one of the others do as well. The cost must be massive both to install/setup as well as maintain the system, very impressive and a timesaver. Not sure how OTR like Werner works the system when hours are tight on a day, never an issue with us.

When running hard with the electronic log you always had to make sure you had you stop planned for the day. Many time you had to stop an hour or so early because if your kept driving you would be over hours and could not reach the next truck stop. sometimes it was a pain in the ass but DOT never bothered you because they did not want to figure out the electronic log

The real thing biting my butt is the short 200-mile run into the middle of big cities where the truck rest areas are few and far between. This is the second day in the last week, that I?ve pulled into a truck stop with 1-minute left on my 14. I guess some days you can plan it all out, arrive early, and sh@t still can happen. Worrying if your going to get a log violation just because of a minute or two, can sure age a person.

Not only are you limiting your choice by choosing paperless logs, but from what my drivers have said, they are a nightmare sometimes to use. One driver told me it shut his truck down at exactly 11 hours.
