    I know ELD is not required unless steerman, but I’m looking for any tips, ideas, or pointers for an eld on a pilot car to log all miles driven by day/state and times without trying to remember or write down driving. Also to use for on duty but for my sake to keep track from getting to the load, with load, and returning.

    If you can't remember to write down your mileage I wonder what else you forget. Don't seem like much of an a game pilot car.

    You don't need a log book, you simply need a log. Take a piece of paper, put it on a clipboard. Write to job number, invoice number, or however you id the run for payroll at the top. Write down times and mileage at every stop.
    It's an escort, you work with the driver, which gives you plenty of time to write all that down doing the meet and greet with the truck driver.
    Like Chaos said, if you are not doing that minor of a thing, what else are you not doing? Like looking at those height signs on overpasses and the like?

    A lot of truck gps will do that(tnd770) but why?

    I pay by the miles on my odometer, no matter what escort claims.
