Drivers submit false logs for various reasons, including logging mistakes, trying to make deliveries on time, hiding excessive hours, and trying to make it home. The key is finding the false logs and correcting the driver, so it does not happen again. The main tools in your toolbox to accomplish this are log auditing and a solid hours-of-service policy. Log-auditing is more than just keeping logs and supporting documents in a file for six months. It involves going over the records of duty status your drivers submit with a fine-tooth comb using the reporting functions in your ELD or paper log tracking system, and the proven procedures that officers and auditors use. It also involves having counseling procedures and applying your policies and procedures if a discrepancy is found.

During this webcast, our panel will discuss:
- The hours-of-service and record of duty status regulations (ELDs, paper logs, and time records)
- Specific auditing practices
- Tracking and adjusting to trends found in auditing and in the industry
This webcast will also feature a private fleet member of the National Private Truck Council discussing the development and implementation of policies and procedure and the adjustment of management controls that prevent log violations.
Your company must be a member to view.
