Log books?

[Eskimo]

i get it, just the units returned idea is abit funny in my head...

[Quentin]

duno if your still reading this digit, but i think its alright, except i dont really like the bit with the pallets returned. coz if your bringing containers back the amount of pallets wil be diferent to a van eventhough its still a double, or tankers. just a bit confusing to work it out.

[Digit]

I'm still checking it mate Drivers don't need to worry about the pallets return bit, just copy it straight from your dispatch, its just for the dispatchers and myself to work out

[Matt]

Yeh sure its complicated but so are real log books..so I say keep it definatly and learn to live with it, hahaha

[Quentin]

yeh true, for the dispatches that you write its no worries, only when if the drivers are going to write their own dispatch it gets confusing, well for me anyway. and as long as you dont bring in $600 fines and loss of demerit points for infringments who cares haha

And no, real log books arent that bad, its only the penalties that are bad

quentin, are you on mass management.??

[Quentin]

yeh we are on mass and maintenence. but staying well clear of fatigue. mass and maint have nothing to do with your log book anyway.

i was having a think about this, if people are complaining to digit about log books, i think why not do it like real life (i think the way it is now is alright).
we have our dockets/freight notes, and our log books seperate.

on your docket you have

charge to:
From: Ausfreighters
date:
order number:
discription: eg b double loaded with timber from old south-fresno
single fridge van return from fresno to old south.
something alone those lines

and seperate, have your logbook
rego:
depart: old south 3.30am monday
return/arrive: bishop pine 4.00 tues or whatever
rest: park bay 7.00 - 10.30

and then again for the return home.

this is just my idea. that way in the forum log books and dispatch can be two different threads, and its easy from mods just to say alright he went from where ever to where ever with what ever trailer and what order number it is without have 15 other lines about what truck and time, because that doesnt really affect how much it we charge the customers. hope everyone understands

oh forgot, just stick a note on the docket for travel expenses (fuel, emergency) or whatever if you have them
