As noted in prior Overdrive coverage, drivers who use electronic log applications or electronic logging devices may have to deal with potential problems from e-log software programmed for the 2013 restart rules if they want to take advantage of the recent restart rollback.

Keeptruckin announced its update Dec. 17 — the day the rollback took effect — and BigRoad announced its update Dec. 19. Both applications run on Android and iOS platforms.
