had tripmaster logs when i drove for a&p and to me they were the best thing since sliced bread.gps would automatically log stops.had built in warnings when you are approching over hrs and figure out your recap.when i came to od and had to fill out a manual log i near forgot how to do it.in over 10 years of use i never had any problems
That sounds good to me also.

Might be interesting to see especially for some of our creative loggers. Who was it posted about an OD driver making like 90k? I bet he doesn't want computerized logs! I would say some of the wild teams might moan a bit. if they could prove who was in the seat some of the husband and wife teams might have a problem.
That's why I don't think they'll change for a while.Then again they like gadgets.

Inquiring minds want to know how you logged it? Were you legal? Did your company know?
I know our terminal has sent city drivers out to get road drivers who have broke down and run out of hours. The tow truck takes the breakdown and the city guy drives the road guy back. If he/she is not from our terminal they go to the hotel and we give them another truck when they get up.
We were talking about computerized logs Fri nite at the terminal. The question that came up was will it have any effect on wait times at terminals?
If the computer can show how many times a drivers has to bump near the 14 after waiting several hours at a terminal for a load will someone notice and do something about it?
