Editorial Standards
EC-IFAS is an editorial desk. We publish operational guidance for first-year CDL drivers and OTR rookies with a safety-first posture. This page describes how we decide what to publish, how we label content, and how corrections work.
Scope
- Pre-trip discipline and routine building
- Dispatch communication patterns and documentation
- Appointment awareness, delays, and exception notes
- Safety decision-making (slow down, re-route, stop)
What we avoid
- Advice that encourages unsafe driving in difficult conditions
- Hype claims that cannot be validated
- Publishing personal data or doxxing
- “Miracle” earnings narratives without context
Separation of editorial and promotion
If we publish partner-supported material, it is labeled clearly. Sponsorship does not purchase conclusions, rankings, or safety recommendations.
Corrections
If a factual claim is wrong or outdated, we correct it after verification. For meaningful changes, we may note that an update was made.
- The page URL
- The sentence or claim to correct
- Why it’s incorrect
- Supporting source or documentation (if available)

Ethics and safety posture
We frame safety as a professional constraint, not a suggestion. If a route, weather pattern, or timeline creates unsafe pressure, we recommend conservative decisions and clear documentation.
Inclusion
We write for new drivers from diverse backgrounds. We aim for clarity over jargon and avoid content that shames beginners.
Disclaimer: EC-IFAS content is educational and operational; it does not replace your carrier’s policies, professional training, or legal counsel.
