Do you know where most U.S. DOT fines are generated from? The hours of service rules. U.S. DOT Auditors will dig deep into your log records, and check against tolls, fuel tickets, anything - looking for violations. Tran Services knows the hours of service regulations inside and out. We can find every violation that U.S. DOT would find.
RECAPPING AND AUDITING: Each month, you
will mail in your logs and any expense receipts. We computer
recap your logs to determine if the number of allowable hours has
been exceeded. We match the logs against toll, fuel, and other
expense receipts to check for false entries. Attention is given
to all logs - most violations will not be found on just a single
log.

| Average Speed Over Posted Speed Limits | Driving in Excess of 11 Hours (Truck Drivers) |
| Driving in Excess of 10 Hours (Bus Drivers) | Driving After 14 Consecutive Hours On-Duty (Truck Drivers) |

REPORTS: You will receive 2 reports.
Report #1, provided for each log that contains detailing
violations, break downs of overtime violations, mile-per-hour
violations, missing logs, and missing miles found by the computer
recap for individual drivers.
Report #2 is a company recap of all drivers' violations.
U.S. DOT realizes that not all logs are going to be perfect; what
is important is that you know what is wrong with a log and have
taken steps toward improvement.
