Violations Report

The Violations Report is intended to aid supervisors and compliance personnel in
determining whether a driver has violated any applicable hours of service rules.
These rules are based on the driver's assigned rule set.
To view violations for one or more drivers:
- Locate the driver in the Driver list by typing in their name or ID and clicking to select the appropriate driver,
or select (All Drivers) to report on all drivers.
- Select the range of dates for which you wish to view any violations.
To change a date:
- Click the ... button to pop up the calendar.
- Click on the desired date.
- If country selection* has not been enabled for your organization,
the report will be run using the driver's primary
default rule set.
- If country selection* has been enabled for your organization,
choose the rule set to use for calculations.
-
Select Use Driver History to calculate using what rule set the driver
was in when the violation occurred.
-
Select Use Primary Rule Set to calculate using each selected
driver's configured primary rule set.
-
Select Use US Rule Set to calculate using each selected driver's
configured US rule set, if any. Drivers for whom a US rule set has not
been defined will be excluded from the report.
-
Select Use Canada Rule Set to calculate using each selected driver's
configured Canada rule set, if any. Drivers for whom a Canada rule set
has not been defined will be excluded from the report.
- If the Canadian ELD suite of features** and country selection* have been enabled
for your organization, the following options will be available to use for
calculations. The driver type tracking history (changes in rule set, operating zone,
and/or cycle) for each driver will be used to calculate violations when available.
Use the following selections to calculate violations for periods where tracking history
is not available, such as for the time prior to enabling the Canadian ELD suite of features.
-
Select Driver Type History to calculate using only each selected driver's
driver type tracking history. Violations for periods without tracking history
will be calculated using the driver's primary default
driver type.
-
Select Current Driver Type to calculate using each selected driver's current
(last known) driver type.
- Select US Default Driver Type to calculate using each selected driver's
configured default US driver type.
-
Select Canada Default Driver Type to calculate using each selected driver's
configured default Canada driver type.
- Click the View Violations button.
* If country selection has not been enabled for your organization, each driver's configured
primary rule set will be used. Country selection
can be configured on the Organization Detail page.
** Have your administrator contact support to enable the Canadian ELD suite of features.
If the driver's time zone has changed, the Violations Report
will be unable to calculate cycle duty violations for some period of time immediately following
the time zone change. In this case, the Start and End columns will reflect the
range of dates and times during which cycle duty violations cannot be computed.
* All dates and times in the Violations Report are
based on the time zone of the driver log on which the violation began.
A violation is reported if a driver operates a commercial motor vehicle in excess of the hours
of service limits established for the driver's rule set.
If a driver runs out of driving time but does not drive after time has expired,
a violation generally will not be reported. Canada's Daily Off Duty rule
(which establishes a minimum off duty requirement, rather than a maximum driving or duty limit)
is the only rule for which a violation may be reported even though the driver has stopped driving.
Violations are calculated only for Driving (D)
statuses for which the end time is known. This is to prevent false reports in the case that
a driver has stopped driving, but the driver's next subsequent status change has not yet been
communicated to the web server.
N/A indicates that an accurate value cannot be computed or displayed for a driver.
Possible reasons for N/A to be shown include:
-
Not enough history - Some values cannot be calculated until the driver has
electronic driver logs for every day in the current cycle
available for analysis.
- Conflicts - Some values cannot be calculated if certain
conflicts exist.
These conflicts include:
-
Time zone change - Some values cannot be calculated if the driver's
time zone has changed during the range of dates used
for analysis.
If N/A appears for one or more columns for a particular driver, click on the icon in the
Comments column on that row for more information.
If a driver broke the same rule multiple times within the range of dates selected for the report,
each instance may be reported as a separate violation.
For example, if a driver exceeded his Work Shift Driving limit two days in a row,
but took enough consecutive hours off duty between the two days to start a new work shift,
two separate Work Shift Driving violations will be reported, one for each day.
If, however, the driver did not take enough hours off duty to start a new work shift,
the driving on day two will be added to the Work Shift Driving violation reported
on day one, lengthening the Time Driving in Violation for the existing violation.
