WHO SHOULD PURCHASE THE CMV DRIVERS' HOURS OF SERVICE (HOS)/LOGBOOK GUIDE:
49 CFR Part 395 requirements apply to "intrastate, foreign or interstate Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) operators."
49 CFR Part 395 "Hours of Service" apply to every person and to all employers of such persons who operate a commercial motor vehicle in any State... with a few exceptions.
The most important change under the new October 1, 2005 rule allows short-haul operators - those drivers not required to hold a commercial drivers license, like local delivery drivers and landscape crews - who work within a 150 mile radius of their starting point to no longer have to maintain logbooks.
But will your 'short-haul' drivers know when log books become necessary??
Will your 'short haul' drivers know how to prepare a log and where to attach it??
Recent Audit Example (MI):
On the job only two weeks, the driver, whom had no "longhaul" logbook experience, accrued 2 Violations of the 70 Hour Rule - $9,065.00 fine.
