Logs? For sprinters?
There no Hos I went 1250miles straight pretty much yesterday

I have a printer/ scanner, and use it all the time. But I have never had to print logs reports( I do download my log reports each month, but have not had the need to print them yet.). Each time an officer wanted to see my logs, he just looked at the screen and scrolled for what he wanted to see. Like FlyingVan , I have the Omnitracs MCP200. It has email and fax capabilities built in.

Good question. I suppose everyone has their own way of doing things. I'm not on a true EOBR that is tied into my truck's ECM. But I do have Driver's Daily Logs software on my laptop and that's what I've logged on for years. There was a time when you had to have your previous 8 days printed off or you would automatically get a ticket.
I don't think that ever applied to EOBR but it did to the various software like DDL that I use. That rule was changed and now you only need to have the ability to print logs off on demand. Of course not every DOT officer got the memo on that. Sometimes you have to teach those guys the rules.
I don;t use any of the services in a truckstop. They're expensive and my company doesn't pay for them. I carry a printer/scanner in the truck with me. All of my paperwork is scanned and emailed from the cab.
An OTR big-rig driver came in to use our gym a couple days ago. He recently changed carriers to one that is totally paperless and he was thrilled about it. NO PAPERWORK!, he exclaimed. His electronic logging is done with his Qualcom unit. All other paperwork, including BOL signatures, is done on his mobile phone.
I think a lot of us Van drivers thought that way when we started. Then after a while we figured out what's really important and it isn't the miles.
If you are hauling placard hazmat there is.Logs? For sprinters?

All those miles and money, prefer short mile and big money
One time in Newport News every 4 hours made 2 mile round trip to a company and back at airport paid $240.00, at end of 5 day , a nice sum of money
