RAIR offers motor carriers the option of using supporting documents and/or GPS data to further verify log accuracy. These added accuracy checks may find inconsistencies that would go undetected with traditional audits.
Verification with supporting documents
The grid below was audited by comparing fuel data and inspection report data to the driver’s log. The audit identified two inconsistencies. Fuel data shows the driver fueling at 8:31 AM in Valdosta, GA, and an inspection report places him in Thomasville, GA at 9:32 AM. Based on these events, the driver should have logged On Duty (Not Driving) at these times instead of claiming to be in the Sleeper Berth. The audit also identified 11-hour and 14-hour violations.
Verification with GPS data
RAIR verifies log accuracy by comparing the latitudes and longitudes of GPS data to drivers’ log data. Our cost-effective, patent-pending system audits 100% of a fleet’s logs within minutes and requires no manual data entry.
The grid below was audited with GPS data, and the blue lines indicate GPS pings. Beginning at 2:30 PM, the driver is in the sleeper berth, but GPS data indicates vehicle movement. The driver continued driving until after 11 PM, while his log indicates that he was in the sleeper berth. This is the easiest falsification for a DOT auditor to find and could cost a motor carrier millions of dollars if the driver is involved in a serious crash.
