Paperless Log System
The Paperless Log System has changed the way drivers and the transportation industry look at trucking.
In June of 1998, Werner Enterprises became the first carrier to implement paperless logs, which replaced traditional paper logbooks used by drivers to record their work hours and activities.
In September of 2004, Werner Enterprises was the first and only carrier granted exemption from running paper logbooks.
The Paperless log system, which is connected via satellite through the QualcommTM and Global Positioning Systems (GPS), assists truck drivers in using their time efficiently. The system enables load planners, fleet managers and drivers to pre-plan load assignments to maximize productivity within the legal driving hours-of-service limits.
Enhance Efficiency
The system works so you don't have to! By using the position history and QualcommTM messages the system is able to keep track of your daily logs.
This means you will have real time information at your fingertips. Plus when partnered with the Werner Enterprises projection system, we can pre-plan your next trip that can be ran legally based on your available hours.
Thousands of drivers can attest to the system's efficiency. They don't spend time messing with paper logbooks, or worrying about being shut down. Come and see for yourself. You will be amazed at how simple our system really is.
Without the hassle of completing paper logbooks, our drivers can focus on what they do best, driving.
Increase Production
Our experience has proven this system will increase drivers' production. Instead of waiting for you to call and tell us when you are available, we are already planning your next trip according to the information you have already provided.
Unlike other carriers, we have our information real time and don't have to worry about waiting for your paper logs. Again, we are able to assign loads; maximizing all available hours for our drivers.
For years we have used this satellite-based log system to dispatch loads to our drivers. Due to better planning, driver's miles have increased instead of decreased. This system has allowed managers to preplan and assign loads based on accurate, future, and available driving hours. This allows us to maximize your time on the road.
No more lines. No more math. Drivers are able to view their hours by simply pressing a button.
More Money
Werner Enterprises' Paperless Log System:
- More time at your fingertips
- More miles in your day
- More money in your pocket
Drivers no longer have to draw lines or manually calculate the work hours available in their eight-day work period. Entries are made for drivers from the information transmitted from the trucks via satellite. Drivers can focus on driving without the aggravation of completing paper logbooks.
Originally introduced in 1998 to all Werner drivers, it's still going strong in all Company and Owner Operator trucks.
