A topic I rarely see discussed, how was your new entrant safety audit?

Not a year. Ontario authority was issued in 1992 I think. Audit was ~2007

 

You need to show how you counseled drivers about any logging mistakes. Should make a note of that counseling in the employee file.

Also don’t forget to have a written policy for PM’s

 

...sounds like it’s different from jurisdiction to jurisdiction mine wasn’t a phone audit

 

We all know the shiny wheel, chrome, stainless, painted fender, extra lights crowd make all the money.
That's why I run minimum lights, chrome and shiny. Well that and it is cheaper.

 

WAY different if you have drivers. I'm a one man show. I will never have drivers. He said because of this I'm immune to lots of stuff, I just have to keep records (application and all in files) and I don't even have to show a maintenance program if I'm only one truck and I run and drive the truck. I was kinda blown away by that. He said I actually didn't even have to show DVR's on my ELD. I don't buy that, I do it always.

 

Rewards program for safe driving? How about they get to live another day? That's a pretty decent reward for being safe.

 

Don’t you have to keep a record of reprimanding your self about log violations?
