Abstract

FMCSA clarifies the requirement to complete a Driver Vehicle Inspection Report (DVIR) based upon a public comment filed by the National Tank Truck Carriers (NTTC). The DVIR may already be completed electronically, however the explicit language in this rule will make this clear. This will encourage motor carriers and drivers to utilize electronic, cost-saving methods when completing DVIRs.
