Identifying HOS violations

Violations surface in multiple areas so managers can move from high‑level monitoring to detailed review.

Shows a violation badge next to drivers with violations in the selected date range.
Provides filters to narrow to:
- Logs with HOS violations
- Logs with form & manner issues
- Uncertified logs (depending on configuration).

Includes a violation panel that lists:
- Violation type
- Time and duration (where applicable)
- Context (duty‑status events around the violation)
Provides a direct path to propose edits or add annotations.

HOS reports and exports can include:
- Violation type and time
- Driver, vehicle, and log date
- Related form & manner issues (for example, uncertified logs).

Violation type	Description / Example
Drive-time exceeded	Driving time exceeded daily/shift driving limit under the active ruleset
On-duty window exceeded / no break	On-duty window exceeded or required rest break not taken in the required time
Cycle limit exceeded	Total hours exceeded the configured cycle (e.g., 60/7, 70/8)
Form & Manner	Log missing required elements, including uncertified or incomplete days

Use a consistent approach to determine root cause and required action:

Open Compliance → HOS Compliance → Dashboard and filter by Has Violations or Logs with HOS violations.
Select a driver and open the Daily Log for the affected date.
Review the duty status sequence and break timing around the violation:
- Confirm whether the violation reflects actual behavior or a data/entry problem.
- Check whether automatic status changes, PC/YM, or device issues contributed.
If the issue is a clear error and policy allows changes, propose an edit with a detailed annotation (see Article 6).
After edits process, confirm the driver certifies the corrected day.

Review violations daily, not just during formal audits.
Use annotations to capture operational context (e.g., weather, shop time, device failures).
Track recurring patterns by driver, terminal, or shift and feed insights into training and route planning.
Align internal handling of violations with documented compliance policy so actions remain consistent across admins.
