TruckingOffice – #1 Trucking Software For Truckers
Did you see the recent report about a trucker who ignored their HOS restrictions and ended up 3 killing people? The company told the trucker to ignore their HOS limits and found a way to cheat the system.
Hours of service rules were imposed on the trucking industry because truckers are motivated to drive unsafely to get more deliveries done more quickly. They drive longer than is safe. Some take drugs to stay awake. In the end, the laws of physics apply to trucking accidents: the people in the smaller car are more likely to be injured or hurt in an accident with a truck because trucks are bigger.
It’s accidents like this one – where the ELog was doctored and the HOS ignored that lead to the government talking about more ELD requirements.
