Hire the Right Drivers!
As an employer, it is important to be aware and steer clear of disqualified drivers. The disqualification period is determined by a combination the severity of the offense and prior convictions. There are major offenses, serious traffic violations, and railroad-highway grade crossing offenses as well as violating out-of-service orders that can lead to disqualification. Here is a look at what to be aware of and how to avoid drivers who are repeat offenders.
Major Offenses
• Under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance
• Refusing a drug or alcohol test
• Leaving the scene of an accident
• Using a vehicle to commit a felony
• Driving with revoked or suspended CLP or CDL
• Driving during disqualification
• Causing a fatality due to negligence
Serious Traffic Violations
• Excessive speeding (15 mph over the limit)
• Reckless driving
• Improper or erratic lane changes
• Tailgating
• Traffic violations resulting in a fatal accident
• Driving without obtaining a CLP or CDL
• Driving without the proper CLP or CDL for the vehicle operated
• Driving without a CLP or CDL in the driver’s possession
• Texting or using a hand-held mobile phone while driving

Gratitude
Welcome to part 24 of our VLCeed series. This is another video in the series and is called “Gratitude”… Enjoy!
2290 Deadline Approaching
The 2290 Heavy Highway Use Tax deadline is quickly approaching. The last day to file is August 31, 2021. Avoid penalties and stress by getting this off your plate and done correctly. Adding and removing trucks can be a little tricky (knowing how to pro-rate). We can help you save money by accurate and timely filing.
As a reminder, the 2290 Form (Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax) is required to be filed and paid annually for every truck and tractor using public highways (5,000+ miles) and weighing 55,000+ lbs. The 2290 is required for all registration renewals and must be paid anytime a new vehicle is added to your fleet. In this case of a new addition, the tax is due by the end of the month following the date the vehicle is first used on the public highways.
To file electronically, which we highly recommend, you will need your Employer Identification Number (EIN). This is not accomplished with a social security number. The addition or removal of fleet vehicles can make electronic submissions a little more complex. So call us and let us help; we can save you time and money!
Let VLC Save You Money
VLC can take the 2290 filing off your hands and let you focus on other important business opportunities. Let us evaluate your 2290 requirement and all of the complexities of the system. We will ensure your filings are accurate, timely, and completed properly, thus avoiding any late fees or penalties for errors or omissions. We will provide you with a stamped receipt to keep in your truck with an electronic copy on file as a backup.
Let us do all the heavy lifting when it comes to filing your 2290 and all other required documents. You will find that the process and the savings will encourage you to outsource more of your compliancy needs, allowing you to focus on running your business. Whether it’s a small fleet or a large operation, VLC is here to help with all your licensing, fleet and driver compliance.
