Paperless Logs
Howdy:
Anyone other than Werner using paperless logs? Are they a wave of the future or just another method to control the industry? Please advise.... thanks |

Driversdailylog.com It will tell you when your 11 & 14 hour is up, it will tell you when your 70 hour is up (it does the re-cap for you). It is nice. You need a computer, printer, ink & paper. Check it out, most companies are accepting it any more. No I don't get a profit; although I should since I sell @ least 2 a week for them! I suggest it for the fact to help the driver out! :D |

I liked the paperless logs, but they are by no means perfect nor are they a replacement for KNOWING and understanding the whole section 395 of the FMCSR.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!!! |

As far as a wave of the future I doubt it will be anywhere soon. Roadstar online http://www.roadstaronline.com/1999/12/9912001.asp has a pretty good article (ever if is somewhat dated) about the whole concept of OBR. Even if FMCSA passed a ruling today requiring OBR I can see years of lawsuits being filed and lawsuits of those rulings happening. The answer people like CRASH and PATT want isn't going to be solved by OBR. Even the European Union (who have used OBR for years) admits it hasn't improved driver fatigue. The only way driver fatigue will be reduced will be when drivers are required to be on a set schedule. Which isn't going to happen. Until there is a complete change in the industry FMCSA will keep making rulings that are more feel good rules than being effective. I'm glad I'm done with driving (retired) so I don't have to worry about the future rulings. kc0iv |

DDL does support scanable logs, read their website! |

I talked to Fritz several years ago about making more print modules and he said he just doesn't have the time. So it doesn't look like he has changed his mind. kc0iv |

I use JJ Keller scan software and it works better with them (as long as they use the company print out form) I also know anyone using the Rair system; they allow the logs (as long as they use the company print out form) Also Rapid accepts them! I was going to give you the link to the companys that accept them, but it seems their website is having issue's (uh oh/ scary, but that happens) Go to their website and look for where it says companies that accept DDL and you can see the list, it is pretty long! You can also use it regardless if they accept them or not and just copy from the computer to your log @ least it gives you the math answers! We accept them and I never sent anything out stating we do, just word of mouth if we have talked with them |
