Frequently asked questions

Does Arkvos replace our ELD?

No. ARKVOS documents driver safety briefings and yard attendance. ELDs (Keep Truckin, Samsara, Geotab) handle hours-of-service tracking. ARKVOS exports its records in formats that complement ELD reports for FMCSA audits.

Can drivers acknowledge briefings from the cab?

Yes. Drivers receive the briefing on their phone, watch/read it, and acknowledge with selfie + GPS at the yard before departure.

Does it support owner-operators?

Yes. Owner-operators leased to a carrier can be added as branches, with the carrier maintaining roll-up compliance visibility.

Already holding an OSHA citation?

Arkvos offers a free OSHA citation response generator. Upload the citation and get a formal response letter, a corrective action plan with dates, and a checklist of evidence to attach. Employers have 15 working days from receipt of a citation to contest it. Open the free citation responder.

Factual anchors and primary sources

Arkvos separates product capabilities from regulatory requirements. For federal OSHA requirements, the primary authority is OSHA's current regulations and guidance. California construction employers should also review the applicable Cal/OSHA Title 8 requirements.

OSHA 29 CFR 1904.33 requires the OSHA 300 Log, annual summary, OSHA 301 Incident Report forms, and privacy case list if one exists to be retained for five years after the end of the calendar year they cover. Cal/OSHA Title 8 §1509(e) requires construction supervisors to conduct toolbox or tailgate safety meetings, or equivalent, with crews at least every 10 working days. Requirements vary by jurisdiction and work activity, so employers should verify the rule that applies to their facts.
