Driver logs are difficult to manage. There is really no way around it. A myriad of logged driver information, gathered from many different sources, must be recorded, organized and stored on a daily basis. Not only that, but this data must also be synchronized with information for up to a week prior to a given driving day. All this, plus the Federal Government strictly regulates driver log document maintenance from beginning to end.

In our increasingly fast-paced society, it is becoming more and more difficult for companies to maintain driver logs in an efficient, timely manner. Log Pro's advanced log auditing system automates the entire log maintenance process, while giving you the freedom and control you need to keep your business running smoothly.

The government regulations regarding driver log maintenance are specific and stringent. Any failures to comply with government ordinances can decrease your company's safety rating, levy large fines against your business, and even lead to criminal prosecution.

Log Pro's automatic log auditing system is designed to guard your company against legal infractions by meeting every compliance requirement put forth by the Department of Transportation.

Stressful and unannounced audit requests can often cripple a company's workflow by forcing energy to be directed into locating and acquiring necessary paperwork in a short amount of time. By streamlining and automating the log auditing process, Log Pro provides the necessary tools to eliminate the endless paper trail of physical log documents, and organizes your log data into an easily accessed, structured environment to give your company maximum control over your documented information.

There are several necessary pieces of information required for a driver log within a 24-hour period:

Driver name, Co-driver name, Date, Carrier name, Truck or tractor and trailer number, Total miles driven, Driver's signature and certification, Total hours for graph grid duties, Shipping/shipper information, Employer's office address, Remarks.

In addition to the standard documentation, specific driver activities are required by law to be recorded on a graph grid.

The creation and maintenance of these driver logs is a manual, time-intensive procedure that is susceptible to many errors. The government enforces the documentation of all driver activities, including the amount of driving time, work time, rest time and any comments or remarks related to these activities. According to law, this process is necessary, despite its difficulty and volatility.

This is where Log Pro steps in. Log Pro's log auditing system provides the means to effectively collect, organize and manage your company's driver logs and information quickly, efficiently and securely.

The Log Pro Process

The Log Pro Process: Driver Log Scanning

Log Pro prepares your drivers' logs for storage and access by scanning in the log documents and saving them electronically. This meets two important goals:

• Scanning logs creates a digital copy that can be accessed by authorized personnel, and transferred easily between multiple users.
• Converting your documents to electronically filed copies eliminates the necessity of maintaining large paper trails of completed driver logs.

Of course, if you prefer to scan log documents (whether new or existing records), Log Pro will gladly provide any necessary training to guarantee that all logs are accounted for, and in good order. After the logs have been scanned and organized, your company is then free to dispose of the original paper log documents in whatever way you desire.

All that being said, remember that Log Pro is more than happy to electronically scan the driver logs for you. All you do is send the documents.

The Log Pro Process: Data Collection and Storage

Log Pro uses state-of-the-art [image and character recognition software] (OCR scanning software) to process your logs.

• The software organizes the logs by date, and files them by driver, driver id number, and company division.
• The software then detects hand-written and typed data and records the information for that particular log document. The data collected includes truck/tractor, trailer and driver id number, as well as the driver's social security number, the company division, the name of any co-drivers, dates, mileage totals, and the log graph completed by the driver.
• All "remarks" and comments are also taken into consideration and filed accordingly. Log Pro also notes other driving events such as accidents, on-road inspections, fuel stops, and any other recognized violations. This allows an employer to run a "Mock Audit," and to a remarkable degree of accuracy.
• Log Pro is also equipped to automatically delete your log images after a specified amount of time.

The simplicity, accuracy and security of your driver logs and log maintenance are the primary concerns of The Log Pro process.

The Log Pro Process: Driver Daily Vehicle Inspection Report

Information concerning the driver's vehicle is easily gathered. The Driver Daily Vehicle Inspection Report is separated from the driver's log and organized separately for 90 days. Log Pro can even restrict access to these reports to required parties (repair personnel, for example). This report can even be updated depending on actions taken to address the vehicle needs.

The Log Pro Process: Driver Log Reporting
