All qualified drivers carry a paperlog in the truck. Its only to be used in the event the qualcom on the truck should fail. Then the paperlog is used till you can be routed to a terminal to have the qualcomm fixed.
Ive been with Werner 6yrs, and 4 trucks, qualcom failed 1 time on my 3rd truck. Had to go with paperlogs for 4 days. It was not an easy transition, couldnt wait for the qualcom to be repaired.
I have my opinions of paperlogs, and there effective usefulness in todays trucks. Paperless logs work very well when the company using them is all geared to there use. Makes dispatch much easier and efficient. IMO.
well i guess we will have to agree to disagree.. i honestly dont see why running electronic logs has to be the norm.
maybe i just like it old school cause i would prefur to use paper logs.
i have never used a paperless system but to be it seems liek with paperless you would have a hard time figureding your time away from home.
i guess i just like the securtiy of a peice of paper incase an audit from the IRS were to come. very little chance of it but i would rather be prepaired.
altho i can see where they have a purpose i just dont see it a purpose with the "rookie" drivers.
i honestly dont see this becomming the normal thing but i could be wrong i just think that a person should to taught to do a log book properly and be made to do so at least on a monthly basis to make sure he/she satys current and understands the process needed for filling a log out properly.
