ELog Auditing

TOP 7 ELOG AUDITS EVERY FLEET SHOULD DO

Auditing electronic logs is different than auditing paper logs. It requires your log auditors to have a different skill set and Operate under a new set of policies. Having an auditor verify violations and discuss the valid ones with the drivers is what prevents future violations from occurring. If drivers believe no one is auditing the logs or that there are no consequences for violating the rules, they will have no reason to comply.
While some of the audits below are automated with ELDs, carriers should be performing these 7 ELog audits to help keep hours-of-service violations to a minimum:

1. Form and Manner
2. Over-Hours Violations
3. Unassigned Driving Time
4. Edits
5. Misuse of the Special Driving Categories
6. ELD Malfunctions
7. Minimal On-Duty Time
