Donna Eckert & Brennon Officer – Logs

Always keep a paper logbook on your truck just in case.
Your log advisor’s contact information can be found in the “My Contacts” tab in the Prime Mobile app.
Personal conveyance can only be used for short movements for non-work-related reasons.
Log out completely when you put your truck in the shop or are getting towed.
Log “on duty” when you’re working but not physically driving.
- For example: fueling, loading/unloading, during DOT inspections, and during pre or post trip.
Any time you’re behind the wheel, your status must be “on duty”.
The logs department is open 24/7 for any questions you may have.
- Logs classes are offered 13:30-15:30 Monday-Friday at the Springfield terminal.

Dennis Davis – Safety

When you’re crossing in front of a stopped vehicle, make eye contact with the driver to make sure they see you.
When you’re walking through a parking lot or yard, wear your neon vest to make you more visible to drivers.
Always be aware of vehicles and people around you.
When helping someone back, make sure they can see you.

August 21-27 is brake checks week.
Pro Maintenance classes are offered Tuesdays & Thursdays from 13:00-16:00 at Campus Inn.
