Also DOT can mail you a letter saying "we audit so and so and found you to be in violation on this day for this reason"You need to pay a fine of 1,000.
Haven't seen it happen yet, but I hear they can. I am sure it would not be pleasantly to open that letter.
For the most part I am on pins and needles but they are people doing their jobs to and I give them what they need and deal with the rest. Well get donuts for grumpy (inside joke)
Do you post the fmcsa complaint line in big oversize numbers in the drivers lounge

I'm sure the auditors are initialy met monday morning with fresh coffee and donuts at their disposal, but take us from there. Start a new thread.
There was one sort of, I went through and audit about 4-5 months ago and came here to post daily about my stress and whats happening.

Ok so you mentioned donuts so ummm well is that Krispy Creme donuts or longs?

No but had a few make a complaint on to be shown we was right and the driver was wrong That's because some drivers just believe they are always right and fail to listen to the one's trying to help them.

It is hard reading yellow font.

For the record, how many here are wise enough to know, or at least safely pressume, that whatever firings of those dispachers at where ever it is that LogsRus works for, was quite likey done for the SOLE purpose of showing the FMCSA auditor that they are trying to show some kind of complience.

The sooner drivers realize that the guberment is largely the problem and not co-workers within their own company, the better.

Back when I first started out OTR, nobody had a safety department. Once the stiff fines started getting issued to companies for log infractions, they all had to form a safety dept.

Trucking is a source of revenue to the gubermint. It has nothing to do with "safety", although many think it does.

Those that know of why seatbelt use is now mandated due to the big insurance lobbyist, instead of "saving lives", will get my point.

Nothing is done out of concern for "safety" these days. It's sold as "safety", but done purely from a financial standpoint.
