What must a driver with a second job report?

A driver with a second job must report the details of that job to the Motor Carrier. This requirement is important because the Motor Carrier has a responsibility to ensure that all drivers are fit for duty and not exceeding the hours of service limits. Reporting a second job helps the Motor Carrier maintain accurate records of a driver's total working hours, which is essential for safety regulations and compliance with federal and state laws regarding driving time and rest periods.

Disclosing information about a second job allows the Motor Carrier to evaluate the potential impact on the driver’s availability and fitness to operate a school bus safely. This transparency helps protect not only the driver but also the students who rely on safe transportation.

Providing details to friends or simply reporting hours worked would not fulfill regulatory obligations, and neglecting to report a second job could lead to violations of transportation safety laws.
