Do they assess a company policy violation fine on you as well? I've heard many different responses from driver's I have stopped over the years, just not sure if all of them were telling the truth or trying to lie their way out of something.
For us it depends on why we got OOS. Logs gets an automatic week off the 1st time, 2nd time you're gone.
The only equipment OOS's we've had in years were items that really couldnt be blamed on a driver.... Trailer tire that was really a nitpicky call. Trailer turn signal that turned out to be a loose connection at the lamp. Mismatched brake chambers on a steer axle... when two previous lvl 1's and 4 annuals didnt catch that detail its sorta difficult to blame a driver.
