Attached is a document that I would like the membership to fill out when an hours of service violation occurs. This may be a situation where a cab isn’t ordered before a crew expires on HOS. This is a violation and needs to be reported. Please fill this form out and return it back to me. I know this is occurring a lot lately because of manpower and lack of planning on the carriers part. Many of our members are not being compensated for this time because of mileage that is run on certain trips. This is a tool we can use to try to stop this.
Fraternally,
