Overview
What this RAVS document does
A contractor that runs commercial vehicles 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 transportation program rather than an assumption that drivers will sort it out.
This document states your company's transportation program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: maintaining driver files, commercial vehicle inspections and defect reporting, daily logbooks, hours of service, and cargo securement. Each point ties back to Part 17 of the BC OHS Regulation and 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
What ISNetworld checks
ISNetworld does not just check that a transportation answer exists. A reviewer verifies the document addresses each requirement the hiring client has configured. For this element, that typically means confirming the document covers:
- A written transportation program with purpose and scope
- Driver files, including licences, abstracts, and training certificates
- Commercial vehicle inspections and the reporting of defects
- Daily logbooks and the information each log must contain
- Hours of service limits and the rule against driving while impaired by fatigue
- Cargo securement so that cargo cannot leak, spill, or shift
