In addition, if the OP WAS talking about manglers keeping track of DRIVERS HOS, well, YES, they ARE supposed to keep track of drivers HOS.
Ultimately, it is always the drivers responsibility but manglers can get in deep trouble if an individual or many drivers violate in some way. Can result in fine for company, fine for driver, loads of paperwork (yeah, I wanna hear again how we're "going green") and more DOK questions to recite.
Now, how many drivers actually keep track of their hours? Ha. Very few. In feeders, you have the Elvis that you can refer to but we are also required to keep the little weekly recap on our person in case we are quick-quizzed by DOT. How many do? I found out that not many. Please do. It's for you own good.
Also, when grilled towards the end of the week when you are close on hours, you sit down for a look-see, invariably, there is always a discrepancy. And usually in the company's favor. Hmmm. How can that be? Keep very close tabs on your hours and week after week if you ARE drilled and you are always consistent, they may learn to readjust their calculations to be more in line with yours, because again, whose job is it to keep track of your hours?
And, yes, mentoyou, we HAVE asked mgt to produce their logs when on-road and they seem to always misplace those.
You.
