Truck drivers juggling paperwork now have a new tool to make manual logbooks simpler. J.J. Keller & Associates Inc. has added a QR code to its logbooks that links directly to a step-by-step instructional video.
“Since most drivers rely on ELDs today, filling out a manual log may seem like a lost art,” said Tim Adam, J.J. Keller industry business advisor. “This quick video simplifies the process without the guesswork.”
Why This Matters for Drivers
Even though electronic logging devices are the standard, many drivers still need to complete paper logs occasionally. The new video acts as a visual guide for proper logbook completion, helping reduce mistakes and ensuring compliance. According to J.J. Keller, it’s especially useful for drivers who only fill out logs once in a while or who want a quick refresher.
“This innovative feature offers users a quick, visual guide to properly completing log books, especially helpful as electronic logs become more common and traditional log completion becomes less frequent,” the company said.
How It Helps You on the Road
The QR code is placed right on the logbook cover, so drivers can scan it anytime. It’s not just about convenience, it’s about accuracy, consistency, and saving time. Drivers can watch the video on their phone or tablet and follow along, which makes onboarding new drivers or training teams easier.
“We’ve taken something familiar and reimagined it,” said Joel Clark, J.J. Keller director of product management. “J. J. Keller is committed to making compliance easier and more intuitive. By combining traditional tools with modern technology, we’re helping customers stay compliant, confident, and efficient.”
