You can't anymore. All trucks are required to use e logs.

The only trucks not requiring e-logs are short-haulers.

My husband used to drive a truck, long before they forced e-logs down everyone's throat.

But I will say, the 'smart' drivers don't let carriers dictate their lives. E logs prevent carriers from making truckers do stupid stuff and FMCSA & DOT can shut down the entire company if they are found to violate this and harass drivers.

Too many drivers were being harassed by their companies to drive tired, drive too many hours, etc.

I don't necessarily like the e-log but it did solve several issues.
