6. Motive / Hours of Service (HOS)
Every Newman Industries truck runs Motive for electronic logging (ELD) and dash cam coverage.
- Download the Motive Driver app and log in with the credentials provided at orientation — [CONFIRM: company ID / login process].
- Log on duty before pre-trip and stay logged accurately all shift — your ELD record is your legal HOS record.
- Federal HOS limits: 11-hour driving limit, 14-hour on-duty window, 10 consecutive hours off duty, 30-minute break after 8 cumulative hours of driving, and 60/70-hour limit over 7/8 days.
- If your ELD malfunctions or won't log you on, call [CONFIRM — safety/dispatch number] immediately and switch to paper logs per FMCSA rules until it's resolved.
7. Safety Scoring
Motive tracks driving events — hard braking, speeding, following distance, and dash cam-flagged incidents — and rolls them into a per-driver safety score.
- You can view your own safety score and flagged events in the Motive Driver app — [CONFIRM: exact steps/screen].
- Score thresholds and what they affect (bonus eligibility, coaching, route assignment): [CONFIRM]
- To dispute a flagged event you believe is inaccurate, contact [CONFIRM — safety contact] with the date/time of the event.
- Repeated critical events (hard braking, following distance) will trigger a coaching conversation, not automatic discipline — [CONFIRM this matches your actual policy].
