It indicates whether any potential defects or issues could impact the safe operation of a vehicle. And if there are, which ones exactly?

When a defect or deficiency is reported, action must be taken to repair the vehicle issues that would affect the safe operation, and signed by the driver or mechanic that the vehicle is safe for operation.

DVIR is in the DOT truck inspection checklist. In addition, he can check the trucker's pre-trip inspection forms at the stop.

In general, the cycle of work with DVIR consists of four links. First, the driver inspects the truck or commercial motor vehicle (CMV) before and after work. Then they introduce defects according to the ABC formula (abrasions, bent or broken, and cuts).

After that, the DVIR is sent to the carrier for record keeping. The last link is the repair and the mechanic's signature on troubleshooting.

EZLOGZ ELD devices help fleets to avoid unnecessary losses. Penalties for hefty fines at the discretion of DOT officers:

  • Up to $1,270 per day for failing to complete a required DVIR.
