Preparing your fleet and drivers for CVSA’s Roadcheck
Brakes light and tires are annually the largest equipment out of service violations during CVSA’s annual Roadcheck campaign but the truck isn’t the only thing inspectors are pouring over. Last year, 2,288 drivers were parked for either false logs or hours of service violations. That’s about 70 more than lighting violations on the truck and 350 more than the number of trucks parked for cargo securement violations, and cargo securement is a focus of this year’s campaign, May 16-18.
Truck drivers are the original remote workforce, but that a log book or ELD is something the fleet rarely sees, it can be difficult for carriers to offer the same kind of management support into drivetime like they can with truck maintenance.
CEO Trent Broberg joins us this week and, yes, while a driver’s log is a personal thing to them, Trent says the fleet has to treat them more like a real-time time card than something that just lives in the truck.
