Overview
What this RAVS document does
A contractor that runs commercial vehicles over 4,500 kg is responsible for qualified drivers, inspected vehicles, hours of service, and secured cargo. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see a real commercial vehicle program.
This document states your company's commercial vehicle operation program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: maintaining driver files, hours of service and record keeping, commercial vehicle inspection, defects and repairs, cargo securement, driver impairment, and the electronic logging device record of duty. Each point ties back to the National Safety Code. The file arrives in editable Word format - add your company name, confirm the company-specific details, and upload.
What the reviewer verifies

- A written commercial vehicle operation program with purpose and scope
- Driver record files retained for at least five years
- Hours of service and daily log record keeping
- Commercial vehicle inspection every 24 hours to National Safety Code Schedule 1
- Reporting and repairing defects, and cargo securement
