A FEW TIPS Do fuel receipts indicate time spent fueling properly logged as on-duty? Is the use of the vehicle for personal conveyance properly logged? 9+ hours driving may require additional scrutiny. Was the time spent during a driver and/or vehicle destination inspection properly logged? Is there any unaccounted travel? Do the logs show any on duty time when he/she was likely off duty? Are toll receipts consistent with safe speeds? Are relief drivers consistent with payroll? Are you reviewing/auditing your logs in a manner that allows you to take advantage of fresh memories. Consider a stress test.
