Foltz Trucking Policies
Vehicle Cleanliness
All drivers should maintain the cleanliness of the vehicle at all times. It is a reflection of the company and you as a driver. This is especially important inside the cab as it is not only a safety issue but a health issue. Cab clutter will not be tolerated. Truck is subject to random checks for cleanliness.
Seat Belts
As well as being the law, it is a policy that drivers shall use and wear seat belts correctly at all
times while driving company vehicles.
The use of seat belts has proven to be a factor in avoiding and reducing personal injuries. Roadside Inspections
Roadside inspections are a fact of life for drivers of commercial vehicles. DOT regulations authorize special agents to enter and perform inspections upon a motor carrier's vehicles in operations. Foltz Trucking expects its drivers to behave in a professional and courteous manner when asked to participate in a roadside inspection. Directions given by the inspection official should be followed. Failure to comply with the procedures set forth below may result in disciplinary action.
Roadside Inspections Procedures
When a driver is approached to undergo a roadside inspection, he/she must pull off immediately to the area designated by the inspection officer. If the driver believes that the designated area is unsafe for the driver and/or the inspection officer, the driver shall state his/her concern to the inspection officer in a courteous and professional manner. Once the inspection is underway the driver shall change duty status to on-duty not driving and follow the directions given by the officer.
