The training manual states that the driver must inspect his or her tiedowns every 150 miles or three hours, is this trackable? Now please don't misunderstand what I am asking, not looking for vindication to not stop, just curious if this gets overlooked is recorded somehow?

Electronic Logs...very easy to track “what isn’t happening”.

Search on Persionconversion. He damn near died in a rollover accident because he didn’t check his sevurement at the proper interval.

Electronic Logs:

Electronic Onboard Recorder

Electronic Logbook

A device which records the amount of time a vehicle has been driven. If the vehicle is not being driven, the operator will manually input whether or not he/she is on duty or not.

Bolt, it's trackable in your logs. You simply stop somewhere, put yourself "on duty" with the notation of "load check." It's the same way you would show your "fuel stop." That's the whole purpose of "logs." We log what we're doing, and law enforcement uses those logs to verify that we've been good boys and girls. smile.gif

Hours Of Service
