Here is a complete training manual of everything you need to know about the E-logs we have installed

We recently received everything we need to start installing E-logs into our trucks. We are shooting to have them all installed and have everyone trained not later than the end of October. If you have not been trained and you see one in the truck you are assigned you do not need to worry them. If you have been trained then please start using them. 

Did You Know?

• The data kept by a State (i.e. tickets, citations, written warnings, convictions) and the data that is kept in the SMS (i.e. violations from roadside inspection and crash reports) are separate.
• Carriers do not inherit any of a newly hired driver’s past violations. Only those inspections that a driver receives while driving under a carrier’s authority can be applied to a carrier’s Safety Measurement System (SMS) record.
• CSA does not give FMCSA the authority to remove drivers from their jobs and cannot be used to rate drivers or to revoke a commercial driver’s license (CDL).

These are just a few of several facts explained in the CSA Just the Facts flyer. Just the Facts sets the records straight on the most common myths about the CSA program.
 
Know the Facts…Be Prepared

The American Trucking Association (ATA) is launching an aggressive campaign in response to the Obama Administration's attempt to replace proven and safe hours of service with a complex, restrictive set of unproven rules that would reduce industry productivity and cause adverse safety consequences. As part of the campaign, ATA is urging trucking companies to engage their drivers, educate them on the proposed changes, and strongly encourage them to submit their written objections to FMCSA as soon as possible but no later than February 28, 2011.

 

To help carriers and drivers with this task, ATA has included the following on the SafeDriverHours.com website:

1. A summary of the proposed HOS changes to help educate drivers, found by clicking here.
    
2. An easy to read chart comparing the proposed changes to the current HOS rules to help educate drivers, found here.  
    
3. Talking points for drivers, a template to help drivers draft their thoughts, and easy instructions for drivers on how to send their comments to FMCSA, found by clicking here.

OTA will also be addressing these changes in upcoming training and informational sessions. Please see more information in the OTA events section.
