Identify the operating companies
Record vehicle markings, plate and unit identifiers, trailer information, driver details, delivery labels, and the names of companies mentioned in reports.
Understand possible record holders
A driver, carrier, vehicle owner, broker, shipper, loading company, maintenance provider, employer, or insurer may control different records.
Ask about time-sensitive data
Electronic logs, dispatch records, vehicle systems, inspection material, video, and mobile communications can have different retention practices.
Do not infer fault from a record category
The existence of a company or record does not establish responsibility; it identifies a question for investigation.
