Checklist Fatigue: What you can do if the checklist puts you out of service
In today’s Listener Comment Line, Mark Reddig spoke about his series on the fatigued driving evaluation checklist occurring in Minnesota or Indiana.
· Checklist Fatigue – A Land Line Now Special Series—Land Line Now presents a print version of our four-part series about the Fatigued Driving Evaluation Checklist, which is being used in Minnesota and Indiana as part of a process that frequently leads to truckers being put out of service. To read the stories in the series, click on the links below:
o Part I: A so-called 'survey' puts a 30-year safe driver out of service
o Part II: Critics say checklist subjective, unscientific; officers stand by process
o Part III: A conversation with the man who created the list, Capt. Ken Urquhart
o Part IV: OOIDA officials say Minnesota's method creates more problems than it solves
· If you’ve been put out of service in either Minnesota or Indiana as a result of the checklist, you’re encouraged to contact OOIDA’s compliance department at 1-800-444-5791.
