Because satellite-based mobile communications units have been installed in Con-way <a href=\"http:\/\/www.findfreightloads.com\/available-truck-loads.php\">Truckload <\/a>tractors since 1994, the company was able to integrate e-logs at a minimal cost. And, as a result of reduced costs associated with providing and managing traditional paper-based log books, the company has achieved 59 percent savings to date.<br \/>\nCon-way Truckload began testing e-logs in February 2010 and started integrating the system in its <a href=\"http:\/\/www.findfreightloads.com\/trucking-jobs.php\">trucks <\/a>fleet wide in November. Currently 2,145 drivers are using e-logs, with another 75 drivers transitioning to the system each week, on average.One of Con-way Truckload&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.findfreightloads.com\/available-truck-drivers.php\">long-time drivers<\/a>, Gary Sorell, was selected to use e-logs first.&#8221;When I started using e-logs in March 2010, I wasn&#8217;t sure what to expect; now, I wouldn&#8217;t give it back,&#8221; said Sorell. &#8220;With a computer to do all of the work, a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.findfreightloads.com\/available-truck-drivers.php\">driver <\/a>doesn&#8217;t need to spend time filling out a paper log or calculating hours manually. There is no way to make a mistake, which eliminates log violations and makes it easy to work with the Department of Transportation.&#8221; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Con-way Truckload announced that 71 percent of its 3,000-driver fleet is using electronic logs (e-logs), with full integration of the technology expected in June 2011.The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is expected to make the adoption of e-logs mandatory for all carriers by 2014.
