Do You Keep Track of Your Loads Delivered?

[GinXeng]

I track my jobs and also use a time sheet...

Thats impressive but if you really want it more realistic, just down the keeptrucking app from the app store, its a free legal digital log book.

@GinXeng Cool, that looks like a cool app. I went to Google to check it out and it said "installed". I already had downloaded it, LOL. Just never looked into it further and forgot about it. I think I went to register and it wanted a phone number so never registered. Hope they don't call the random number I gave them just now, LOL.

[GinXeng]

I honestly dont know why they ask for a number, they have never called me on it for anything, I've been using this app for 2 years now IRL.

I use Trucksbook. You don't have to be apart of a company to use it and its logs automatically

[PBandJ]

@DGAF_AK87 I agree, been using it for quite a while myself.....

Only when trying to get an achievement.

I have been retired 9 years and irl drove for 33 years with 2.5 million miles accident free, and keeping track Of my drivers in my garages low paying drivers get moved to another terminal, if that don't work they drop 1 truck level for 3 weeks if no improvement they drop or get fired. I keep 10 worst drivers money made per day , top 10 best drivers on money earned best and worst 5 garages and trailers if used leave alone if not used I move to another terminal / garage. I got shivers when I seen that log book page above.. uugghhh!.

LMAO... The same here. I don't want a thing to do with any log book.... electronic or paper. I served my time in Hell.

Yes, I use electronic logging software (VTLOG in this case) running in the background as the game runs to keep track of my jobs, it’s a lot easier and simpler than pencil and paper. Pencil and paper is too “old school” for me tbh. Heck, the software even goes one step further and keeps track of the quantity of fuel purchased at fuel stations. The only math I actually do is keeping track of gross weight at weigh stations and how far over or under the 80,000 lbs GVWR I am, either by doing simple math in my head, or, failing that, using a calculator.

[GT182]

I only keep track of the time/day I leave from picking it up a load, and the time/day it's delivered. And usually watch the hours driving so I know when I'm not legal. did I say that? LOL Just for maybe sleeping 5 or 10 hours.

That's what I love about ATS. I don't have to adhere to any log book rules like in real life. I can drive as far as I like. Tho for me I know darn well when to stop and sleep , or pause ATS.... I can't stay awake. It's like driving IRL.... you know it's time to pull over and get some rest. You can't sit in the seat with your head out the window or slap yourself silly to stay awake. Like I did on my last trip to LA from Vermont in 50 hours. That was with only 8 hours of sleep.... 2 hours at a time of the 50 hours. And no co-driver.
