DOT Audit

Anyhow and update for today:

Well they are doing things different but I think we are ok, we just had to pull a bunch of drivers who had randoms and he will check to make sure you "drivers" logged them on line 4 and make sure it did not interrupt a break of any kind. We are usually pretty good with those. Then he is pulling drivers with crashes and inspections and about 10 more drivers.

So guys/gals! LOG LEGAL PLEASE FOR ME AND YOUR LOVELY SWEET AUDITOR

Seriously remember anytime you do something for the company it is being matched to the logs for location and line 4!

Ok so I am tired as I worked 8:00 to 10:00 and I am tired of talking logs

We did have some fun though, at least he can joke some!

 

Oh you will hear all about my suffering days until this is over. If I have to suffer you all have to suffer and hear me out
No really I will let everyone know just what they are looking for and stuff to help the drivers & office workers out. I sure wish I would of known the "new" way they audit, new it was coming though.

Off to the wonderfull DOT world today! Grrr these long days, I will be taking a week off VERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYY SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNN!

 

We normally do have a system in place, but JJ keller had to umm do a major upgrade to their system and totally messed us all up so bad we had to get a new program, therefore making us behind. I am fairly impressed with how caught up we are with the situation we encountered, but I am not sure they will be.

Yeah they are doing it different and now I sure know what to expect if it happens again soon! But if you have 2,000 drivers how do you ever audit every driver as far as tolls,scales etc go?? I mean that is crazy. Fuel, HOS, daily requirements, randoms, alcohol, accidents & inspections yes that is possible on all 2,000 but to do everything on every driver you would need @ least 20 log auditors (and they better be good fast one's, like me).

Thanks, I have been at it a while but you just never know especially with my last audit it was very tough and turned out ok, but not perfect like I want. I just want a good girl you are doing a great job from the boss! That's all

Thanks for the support, anymore advice? So what do you do exactly?

 

Went fairly smooth. They checked my randoms and guess everything is ok there, don't see why not we tell every driver to log them. Not every driver is loggin them, but we don't get them on their breaks (at least 95%) or home time so we should turn out 99.9 on them.

They haven't done the audits on the specific drivers yet. I feel everything is great/ok, I am not perfect with the situation I have encountered of the log programs (THANKS JJ KELLER), but I know deep down we try to stress legal and legal and legal and legal at our company that I don't see how we could ever fail one.

I got to leave @ 5:00 pm today. YES that was very weird. The little one (almost 9 year old girl) has driven me nuts and I wonder why I am wanting to be home .

So yeah that's my today, now tomorrow will probably be focused on me, grrrr.
It looks like Monday or Tuesday and it will be over.

Thanks for listening. The most important thing here is the outcome, but I want you drivers to know what your lovely, sweet, innocent, mean auditors go through during this time (laughing gal isn't here right now??) .

 

Everything is not quoting, but count over 14 hours from the time you enter lines 3 or 4 on your "log clock" and make a mark. If you drive past that mark you are in violation of your 14 hour rule. You can not drive more than 11 hours in the time frame you started and the time your 14 hour ended. Now you can split break, different subject. You must have 8 hours in the SLEEPER to drive past that 14 hour mark!

That's the easiest way to put it all! Pretty simple, you have 14 hours from the time you enter lines 3 or 4 from your last 10 hour break or more to get your 11 hours of driving in. Now you can split break, different subject , but to drive past that 14 hour mark you must have @ LEAST 8 hours in the SLEEPER! You must prepare you self to say you are split breaking. If you use an 8 hour break to EXTEND your 14 hour you must say you are split breaking and if you don't thye could techinically write you up.

Not sure if I rambled for the good or bad? I am wondering cause of the poll and my little one asking me 100 ?'s at 11:00 pm?? grrrrr, where is the mommy time?
