Falsifying logs

Please explain how a 3rd party auditor will be blamed for discovering discrepancies. This squarely falls on the companies compliance officer.

 

I commend you for caring ... but.. If your gonna dance you gota pay the band... my opinion is.. if you falsify logs knowing your doing so better be ready to pay the price... if you do it unknowing so because somebody told or taught you that way .. well then it suck's to be stupid .. If you were told to do so by your company or boss .. and you knew it was wrong .. well again thats on you ..
IF I was you I would bring a box with me to work tomorrow rake everything of mine of the desk top and draws turn in my key to the executive bathroom and head for the nearest exit ..
Cause you aren't gonna fix that mess even if you have a truck load of Lucky Charms
Thats a train wreak in the making and they made you the Engineer

 

Stand up , be a man. Write up a memo, send it to all drivers and managers that things like this won’t be tolerated any longer.
Up here in Saskatchewan a few years ago we had a driver sent to prison for eight years. What I’ve learned since, in the end it’s the driver that pays the price with their freedom for the company to make a few extra dollars.

 

I’m not trying to be a smart###. But you’re a Compliance Consultant? You should know the answers. They’re obviously trying to clean things up as much as possible. Maybe hired you a little too late. The audits purpose is to ensure the Carrier is Policing itself, by staying Compliant. That includes any Driver's actions that aren’t Compliant. The old saying that the Driver always gets the blame, is true. In the Carriers case, Drivers should have been given notice of said violations, along with a warning of future violations being met with disciplinary actions. Like a 3 day suspension, followed by longer suspension and eventually resulting in being fired, if continued. In this case sounds like the Company’s the real problem. Usually is, but can’t be proven. It’s all going to depend on the records. Minor vague things might get a suggestion, or warning. Other blatant violations may result in a fine. Either way, they need to comply, next audit will be checking on the warnings or violations. Second time, big fines. The Drivers aren’t in any way going to be fined. The Company’s responsible for their actions. The Driver only needs to be Compliant while in the field, while working. The DOT can fine him at roadside. Not later during an Audit. Get their records in order. Less may be better, in their case. So many “Safety” Departments are a joke. Only worried about the Companies Record looking Legal. Meanwhile they allow Dispatch to abuse Drivers. The Left hands not supposed to know what the Right hands doing. Driver gets the blame from Safety, or Gets bad Treatment from Dispatch, if they don’t play along. It’s Ultimately the Company’s responsibility regardless, of who’s at fault. You play, you possibly get caught and pay.

 

Knowing what you know don't just up and quit, go out in style...

 

Good choice. An area of illegality could not exist without management condoning it. They don't want
