Not people who DON'T use them old fashioned things! :P

 

Well, that's true.
It's the thought that counts. :P

 

well the grocery co. I am with has paper-less logs.

 

I read somewhere that US Xpress will be going paperless within a year

 

Not true ... at least not now. We're running the PeopleNet eLogs.

 

According to Alberta Transportation you MUST be able to provide written (paper) logs if requested...

Who knows maybe it's up to the company to provide them. We have the PeopleNet system too, but there is BIG time resistance in using it, both in the office & out here on the road. Go figure...

 

If they request them, they can be faxed to the scalehouse in seconds. I don't see what the resistance in the office would be considering that the Peoplenet system is easy and save a heck of a lot of time over the god awful paper logs.

 

Well, we are an LTL carrier that has been around since 1946. I think there is trouble integrating the system between dispatch, city dispatch, billing, etc. And my dispatcher (linehaul) says that everytime he logs onto the system it crashes his whole computer, so HE refuses to use it. :shock: :shock:

And...it does NOT understand the "North of 60" HOS, so for people like me it simply doesn't work.

Personally, I don't much care to have yet another electronic device staring over my shoulder. :cry: :cry: :cry:

 

You should be logging driving while stuck in traffic, not on-duty

 

That's true, but if werner's log system is tied to the truck it may not register not moving or moving slow as line 3. So it would instead place the driver on line 4 since the driver has not logged as line 1 or 2 in the system.
