Monitoring and EOBRs

Wayne points out that some drivers don't know they're doing something wrong. Or they're doing something right, but they're not recording it, so it looks like they’re doing something wrong-like the driver who didn’t record an intertrip inspection because he said there was no brake check to pull into. Wayne asked if the driver stopped, wiped the snow off the truck and checked their lights and did the things they need to do to monitor their vechicle—the driver said yes. “Well, you need to put that down as an intertrip inspection.” Wayne had the chance, because of the EOBR, to help the driver understand. “I wouldn’t know that [the driver didn’t understand] if I didn’t have this electronic onboard recorder. How am I going to know that as a safety guy sitting in my office that this guy’s not doing that... unless I follow him down the road?... It’s up to the company to keep [drivers] informed of the regulations, and how it benefits them.”
