1 Prevention: A compre- hensive maintenance program that includes regular tire inspections is a must, including pretrip and post-trip inspections. Drivers need to know how and when to check inflation (with a gauge!) and when it's time for a replacement. VIOLATION Logs So-called "form & manner" and "log not current" violations make up one-fourth of all driver viola- tions at the roadside, far and above any other violation. A form/man- ner violation carries just one CSA point, but a log that isn't current is worth five. These violations are often frustratingly obvious and easily cor- rectable. Drivers need to fill out all required information on their logs and keep them current to the last time their duty-status changed. Prevention: First, make sure your drivers know what's required and what's not required on their logs (see Sec. 395.8), and www.truckinginfo.com MAY 2014 • HDT 23 Circle 204 on Reader Action Card Drivers s a f e t y & c o m p l i a n c e _ m a y . i n d d 2 3 4 / 2 9 / 1 4 4 : 5 6 P M 4/29/14 4:56 PM
