TRUCKING COMPANIES CHEATING ELD'S. There are plenty of trucking companies that are erasing driver logs in order to give the drivers fresh hours to run on. When interviewing drivers, we have been told several times that their company will reset their hours so that a load can be delivered and a fresh load can be picked up. Although a carrier may reset the logs and show on their end that driver is compliant. The main company that holds the driver logs has record of everything that goes on. This will prove to be a carriers downfall if a D.O.T. audit takes place on the log company itself. The log companies records will not match up with said carriers, resulting in huge fines.
