Hours of Service Training: How to Complete a Manual Log
Runtime: 11:57
Intended Audience: Property-Carrying CMV Drivers
Overview:
Time is limited. No one can add a minute to an hour, day, or week. For professional drivers, time is further limited by the hours-of-service regulations. The purpose of the hours of service regulations is to keep tired drivers off the road. After many hours behind the wheel, fatigue sets in, and it can lead to bad decisions and deadly crashes. For the safety of all drivers, compliance with the hours of service regulations has been required of commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers since the 1930s
The Hours of Service Training curriculum will help drivers and carriers to be compliant while maximizing the available hours through a full understanding of how the limits affect safety and productivity.
Every driver needs to know how to complete manual logs. Most often a manual log will be a paper grid log. Short-haul drivers who find themselves in a situation where they do not qualify for the 150 air-mile radius exception and ELD users who experience a malfunction of their device need to know how to manually record their duty status.
Hours of Service Training: How to Complete a Manual Log is designed to help drivers understand which fields are required and which are optional to accurately prepare their record of duty status and how to complete a recap to avoid violations.
Objectives:
After completing this program, learners will be able to:
- Identify required fields on a manual log
- Prepare a record of duty status using a manual log
- Describe how to complete a recap to determine the number of hours a driver has available before hitting the 60- or 70-hour limit
