Thanks

Best advice, DON'T do it!

Before long, many of the larger companies will be going paperless within the next year or so! So we might as well get use to it.
I know of, and have driven for some, several companies that use paperless logs. Werner may be the only mega-carrier doing it but they are certainly not the only carrier doing it.

Alot of the local companies around have a "paperless log" system. Not the same as what Werner has though. It records the drivers time but like you said, it needs printed and signed.

Anyway, what is a Qualcom? I have never had one in my truck before. :lol:
yes I know what a qualcom is, just never used one

Do qualcoms make good wheel chocks? I think some should try it and let other drivers know.

Where did Zen Road Warrior go??? Its been 7days since he "kicked off" this post. I wonder if he tried disabling his qcomm, or hiding his "signal" from the Werner police, and now he is long gone.

We have paperless. I work for a smaller carrier and no logs need to be signed.

I don't know if there are any differences between Werner's system and others on an administrative level; but there are none on a driver level.

I have driven for carriers that have done the same, paperless and no need to sign it with an actual signature.

There is a carrier here in Maine that has completely paperless logs. no need to print or sign anything. Almost identical to Werners system.

We're testing something through a phone set-up through Nextel. Has the log on the screen. Lots of bugs in it right now.
