Why Should You Take a Drivers Log Course?

Jerit Justin • November 16, 2020

To ensure that commercial truck drivers are operating safely, there are a number of regulations such as hours of service that they need to comply with. Drivers must keep accurate log books to demonstrate that they understand and are complying with these regulations. By taking a driver logs course, you will gain the knowledge you need to ensure that your log books can stand up to scrutiny.

Whether you are a novice driver or have been driving for many years and are ready for a refresher course, Trukademy’s driver logs course can supply you with the expertise that you need. This is even true for those that are using electronic log books.

Taking a Drivers Logs Course will help ensure that you:

Comply with the law – we will make sure you understand the relevant legislation and why keeping a complete and accurate log book is so important.

Pass your supervisor’s inspection – employers want to know that their drivers can maintain proper records. With training from Trukademy, you can be confident that you will have the knowledge to properly complete your log books to your supervisor’s satisfaction.

Advancement opportunities –
When you are seeking opportunities for advancement within your trucking career, your company will look at a number of factors. Drivers who keep good log books will have an advantage over their competition when they go to apply for a promotion.

Pass an audit –
If your employer or yourself are ever audited and found not to be in compliance, you could be subject to a hefty fine. Keeping excellent records is one way to help avoid this. And the right driver log book training is key to having great records.
