Company policy is 'no guns on the rig".
I think you will find most companies will have this policy. As well as alot of customers you will be visiting as a Driver.

Surely, this isnt going to be a very big make or break decision as to which company you choose???

IF they are so darn wonderful, why is Werner the only company on the continent to use them?
This is the Million Dollar question, The original press release when FMCSA/DOT wanted a company as a test bed for the Qualcomm Paperless Logs stated that Werner was the only company to "Volunteer".
Speculation says, that Werner used to be one of the biggest "Outlaw" companies on the road and the fines for this were unsurmountable and DOT cut a deal with Werner to be the test bed for the paperless logs or pay the fines.
Werner had to changed their entire operating system to accomadate the Paperless Logs, and after all the years running the business using them found it actually works. It appears, from my view point, that the company has achieved a success using them.
Why other companies dont use them?....Dont know, especially companies that utilized qualcom and blackboxes. Also, paperlogs keep a greater level of the responsiblity on the driver to run the load legal...or not.
