Help HOS Driver out of service

Not for sure but think you'll be fine. The megas always have driver violations and haven't been shut down yet.

 

It takes more than a few days for the fmcsa to do anything -- I wouldn't expect an immediate audit. But in their next audit they may want to look more closely at your logs.

If it were me, I would go through your husband's logs with a fine tooth comb and document any errors. Then I would subject him to the disciplinary actions outlined in your safety policy. At the least, I'd want to note in his driver file that he attended a safety meeting & was retrained in logs.

Sounds silly since it is your husband/the owner, but it'll assuage any grief the dot might want to give.


The fmcsa won't shut you down for 1 HOS violation. Most brokers won't care, though some will (England logistics, for example, has a clause in their contract regarding HOS violations).

 

If you've have had authority for 90 days, then you haven't had your "new entrant" safety audit yet. This could move it up, but I doubt it. Chalk it up as learning and keep going forward. As double yellow said, document it in the proper places and make sure everything is up to snuff. All part of the game. when they do call and make the appointment for the audit they will most likely ask about it. Just be ready to show them how it made you better, and things will be fine.

 

Hmm some companies give a driver xx up to 90 days to complete a mandatory log course or they are placed on safety hold.

 

You have to have five inspections before it ever starts showing up don't loose sleep over it.

 

When your husband comes through, have him go thru his logs and correct any mistakes. Make sure time stamps match, also 30/10/11/14/70/34 all have to be in compliance. If necessary send your logs out get a pro to review them.

As far as mad at your husband, dont even go there. If your not a driver you dont even have that right. Be cool.

 

You are dead wrong powder joints. It's here company and she has every rite to be mad,it's her company to and things like log book violations affects the company as a whole. Get just a few more here and there and it can turn into trouble real fast,so go ahead and chew his as Mara and like every one said go through the steps to make it right. And as far as the Mega companies most off them are on E-Logs.

 

I read it different. I think it's his company, and like any dispatcher or compliance officer, she thinks it's her company.

 

Sounds like the driver in question will have to watch safety videos when he gets back home, it happens to alot of drivers he just got it out of the way early in the 1st 90 days?
