He'd be better off crossing the Peace Bridge in to Canada.

You will still have the DVIR to review. The only annotations will be deficiencies listed by the driver and corrections made by the mechanics. If you find and issue write it up for correction. Either than that drive on.

Here we can't even get some people to fill them out when there is an issue with the trucks. The bid drivers might....... the Friday night before they start vacation.
Yeah UPS had to make sure it was ok with the lawyers first.
We got the new DIAD software that asks if the vehicle needs service and "IF yes".....just a couple weeks ago but apparently none of the sups here know anything about it.
Yep, was just informed of it this morning when I needed a new book, mechanic was talking to a sup and the sup knew nothing about it... Guess he hadn't checked his email yet.

Split driver will really be confused. How to not do something you never did anyway?

What rule is this you are referring to? I've never heard of this. Signing off the DVIR is part of the DOT pre-trip, and for good reason. Please reference what rule has changed.

And send them all out at 10:25 when you're trying to finish NDA with a reply needed.

Never mind, found it. Although this document doesn't have a date to show when, and if, this was ever finalized.

I like in the reasons why the companies wanted this change, was that all of the non-defect DVIR copies could overwhelm the defect DVIR copies. Seems like a simple way to fix that would be only pull a copy when it is a defect DVIR copy. What bothers me about this, is that there are so many lazy people who, for whatever reason, don't want to write up their vehicle when it is needed. I see this a lot. The regular driver gets used to some defect because he doesn't want to write it up and not have his/her regular vehicle the next day, or week. The DVIR is a way of keeping some type of vehicle integrity issue intact.
With these new rules, a driver could think a defect is, "no big deal", out of ignorance, not sign off the DVIR, and not be the next driver to use that vehicle. If the defect was a serious problem, not signing off the DVIR could be a major safety issue for the next driver. Yeah, the original driver could say, "It wasn't a problem when I had it," but I would think a recurring issue would leave signs in or on the vehicle. Not always, maybe, you would imagine in many cases it would. By signing off the non-defect DVIR, at least the problem driver could be held accountable, instead of the driver who had no knowledge of the issue. When the DVIR doesn't get signed off when there is a potential defect, the regular driver could just say, "Hey, anyone could have driven this vehicle." And that could possibly be true, it is less likely when the CVIR gets signed off after EVERY shift.

Don't the last few pages of your DVIR books have a red stamp on them saying something to the effect that the current book is almost used up?

No it isnt true for our location. We actually got told just this week that we have to fill it out everyday.

Yup yet our night mechanic still can't be bothered to replace it with a new one.
The part where you have to fill out a DVIR on a truck that doesn't need work during the post trip. I saw a news release early this summer and my local UPS management team never said anything, the software just appeared in our DIAD one day.

Right, and from what he says about how small his center is he may have to walk a whole 20 yards.

I feel bad for the mechanic.
