CSA2010 and log book form and manner violations

Hmmm, so are you saying you don't log it as you drive it?

When will drivers ever learn?

The points are set up so as to take the habitual offenders off the road. Drivers with clean inspections or no inspections have little to fear.

Have you ever been cited for the form and manner violations? Many officers go for the big ticket items, false logs, no logs, 11/14, etc. If every thing else is peachy then the small stuff is ignored.

A sure sign you haven't been trained as required:

Doesn't your company require you to record mileage at state lines? Don't you keep a little notebook with your daily mileage?

The items mentioned are a common tool for most drivers.

Be safe.

 

Not true, a driver maybe cited for speeding during a level 1, 2, or 3 inspection and never be written a ticket.

Part 392.2 and 392.6 covers drivers logging faster than the speed limit and dispatchers scheduling runs for a delivery time that required the driver to speed.

The carrier listed was prosecuted in 2007 for scheduling runs that required the driver to speed.

Be safe.

 

From a federal perspective you are. CSA2010 is a federal program that will be used by the FMCSA. It will have nothing to do with the way roadside inspections are performed or state laws. CSA2010 has to do with the way the FMCSA uses the roadside inspection data to evaluate a carrier/driver.

It has to do with following the rules. Cromedome admitted he doesn't fill out his logs until the end of the day. I would say at least 40% of all truckers are as guilty as Cromedome is as they neglect to complete their logs as required.

On multiple occassions carriers have been cited for false logs when a driver wrote in 650 miles for the day when the trip actually was 720 miles. Drivers know how to fudge all too well.

If a carrier was doing its job and checking logs and having drivers fix them then perhaps the drivers would get better at completing their logs to avoid having to do them again; however, all too many carriers receive the logs and put them in a drawer for the DOT to see when they arrive.

The fact your employer doesn't catch the mistakes and ask you to fix them indicates a lack of management oversight.

Perhaps your company will invest in EOBR and end your woes.

Be safe.

 

Hmmmm, better read the fine print.... If you check it; it usually means it's broke.

Hope you're not checking all those boxes indicating your truck and trailer needs repairs.

Be safe.

 

Suppose you better speak to your employer and ask they change the format to save on some penaties.

Be safe.

 

Logs have been around since dirt. The HOS were writen in 1938, I doubt you were around before that.

Be safe.
