How are we going to get to these goals. It is going to take all of us working
together. Pretrip inspection can find
many of the cargo and vehicle defects. We will continue the 90 day inspections but on
repeat violations or serious out of service inspection there will be an additional inspection set up
within the 30 day period after the bad inspection for the equipment with biggest issues.
Log book violations are a important area we can
improve. Our top two violations are log
books not current (88 violations and 700 points) and form and manner (51
violations and 162 points). We also
have had 27 over 14 hour violations in the past 24 months. We can do way better than this and on
repeat violators will be asked to consider electronic logs.
Cell Phone use while driving needs to be eliminated unless
your phone is completely hands free. By
regulation a hands free phone requires only 1 button to answer or call. If you have to dial it is not hands free.
Winter Driving Tip:
At least double you’re following distances in winter driving especially
while on ice or snow. Bridges and
shadows can be icy when the rest of the roadway is icy. If you do not expect it your reaction time
may not be enough to avoid a crash. It
is really important to allow extra time for your trips during the winter months
as ice and snow can be a factor in almost every state.
