Managing Driver Fatigue with Attendance Enterprise

Commercial Transportation

Most commercial transportation operator work-hours are regulated by Federal hours-of-service rules.Federal regulations require businesses to maintain accurate recordkeeping of employees covered by DOT Regulation “Hours-of-Service regulations (49 CFR Part 395)”.

“The regulations are designed to continue the downward trend in truck fatalities and maintain motor carrier operational efficiencies.”

Monitoring time

Manual recordkeeping of driver’s hours can be cumbersome, time consuming and inaccurate. Although the DOT offers simple tools to document time, our software will automate the process of collecting the data, processing, and reporting. Once processed and the employee is paid, Attendance Enterprise will archive the timesheet indefinitely. Long work hours seldom independently result in operator fatigue.Some of the risk factors Attendance Enterprise can help track would be:

• Monitoring extended work periods
• Scheduling split shifts
• Create predicable schedules
• Track minimum time between shifts

Conclusion

Attendance Enterprise will assist your overall Fatigue Management Program, by computing the driver’s time and monitor infractions. Also by permitting supervisors to note corrective actions should be taken on the driver’s timesheet. Furthermore, archive of driver data permits more in-depth analysis of driver attendance trends, performance, and reporting to Local or Federal agencies.
