Log Policies
In our ongoing attempt to keep our company's safety standards, we are asking for your support. Please be aware that the safety department audits roadside inspections and logs to improve standards and have set new goals for us to meet. When completing a driver log, please make sure that the following are all marked as on-duty statuses:
Drivers are logging fuel stops, logging "fuel" and the city
Drivers are logging DOT roadside inspections, logging "DOT inspections" and the city
Drivers are logging Random Drug Screen time
Drivers are logging in and out gate times and the city
We feel that keeping logs up to date and accurate is a major step toward reducing out-of-service violations on roadside inspections. We are monitoring for major violations and repeat offenders, and if deemed necessary, we will spend a day training said violators. Also, a trend has been noticed: Many drivers are not taking the 10 consecutive hours off duty to reset the 14-hour clock. This leads to hours of service violations. Understand that this is to reduce the likelihood of being inspected by a DOT official. Also be advised that drivers need to turn a copy of the roadside into corporate. Otherwise, we order the reports from the state for a fee. The fee will be charged back to the driver. Please have all drivers sign and return this form, acknowledging our goals and expectations.
