What should I do if my logbook has an error?
If an error is found in your logbook:
- Identify the Error: Review the log to pinpoint the issue.
- Make Corrections: For paper logs, strike through the incorrect entry and write the correction next to it, initialing and dating the change. For ELDs, submit a correction request through the system.
- Notify the Carrier: Inform your motor carrier of the error and submit supporting documentation if needed.
- Recertify the Log: If using an ELD, recertify the corrected log to comply with FMCSA rules.
- Document the Change: Keep a record of the correction for future inspections or audits.
Quick action ensures compliance and avoids complications during roadside inspections.
