DOT Hours of Service Training

See Registration Form for Dates\Times

Fatigued Driving/ Hours of Service BASIC The number 1 rule for Hours of Service is to ensure your drivers are not fatigued. Be sure you oversee your scheduling function; you must not give a driver more work to do than can be legally done in a day.

Sometimes the persons making scheduling /dispatching decisions are not sufficiently familiar with the 4 cardinal rules of HOS compliance, which are as follows: The 11-hour rule; the 14-hour rule; the 60/70 – hour rule, and the document retention rule. These are explained fully, along with examples, discussion, exemptions, sample forms, and much more.

1. We will share with you a tried and proven way to manage driver logs and decrease violations in what can be the most frustrating BASIC.

2. We will teach you how to organize, audit, and perform QC checks on logs, as well as counsel and educate your drivers.

3. We will define a compliant driver log, show examples of log violations, and explain some tips and tricks for identifying violations when auditing.

4. We will answer the biggest questions in the industry regarding new electronic driver logging devices, the differences, pros, and cons for AOBRs, EOBRs, and other driver tracking software, and new regulations surrounding it.

Knowledge gained from this session will assist you in developing and maintaining your company’s drug and alcohol testing program, which is required for all companies with trucks greater than 26,000 GVWR (and certain HazMat, construction, maintenance, or repair vehicles). In addition to the required elements of the mandated Supervisor Drug & Alcohol training, we will address many lessons learned from safety managers, enforcement staff, and Drug & Alcohol treatment professionals.
