Overview
What this RAVS document does
Commercial vehicle operation carries a high fatality risk and is tightly regulated. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor maintains driver files, manages hours of service, inspects vehicles, and secures cargo.
This document states your company's transportation program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: driver files, retention of records, hours of service and record keeping, commercial vehicle inspection, retaining inspection records, defects found during inspections, and cargo securement. It is written to the National Safety Code framework. 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 driver record files
- Retention of driver and carrier records and their availability
- Hours of service limits and daily log record keeping
- A daily trip inspection of the commercial vehicle
- Recording and correcting defects found during inspections
- Cargo securement so that loads cannot shift or be dislodged

Practical guidance
How to pass the transportation review the first time
- Keep driver files. The document states the registered owner maintains a driver record file for each driver, including the abstract, employment history, convictions, and training records. A reviewer expects those files.
- Inspect every 24 hours. The document states trucks, tractors, and trailers are inspected every 24 hours, and a daily trip inspection is valid for 24 hours. A reviewer expects that inspection.
- Secure the cargo. The document states cargo is contained, immobilized, or secured so that it cannot leak, spill, fall, or shift. A reviewer expects that cargo securement.
