Part c again indicates defects or repairs made. But as long as lawmakers keep it gray, everyone can be blamed.Seems directly in contradiction to 396.13? Catch 22? Regs say you are required to review previous DVIR.

30 years ago, we could not be dispatched without the previous drivers report.396.11(2) “the drivers of all other CMVs are not required to prepare or submit a report if no defect or deficiency is discovered or reported to the driver.”
Ten years ago guys were pencil whipping them anyway. Just like the guys that can’t even walk around their rig, much less inspect anything.30 years ago, we could not be dispatched without the previous drivers report.

I work with driver his post trip is rolling down the landing gear.... as long as the handle is there everything is good.Ten years ago guys were pencil whipping them anyway. Just like the guys that can’t even walk around their rig, much less inspect anything.
Yep. As long as they can break the set and get it in the door everything must be okI work with driver his post trip is rolling down the landing gear.... as long as the handle is there everything is good.
That’s the point I keep trying to make. It falls back on the shop. Just do your pre-trip and if it’s all good then go. Don’t worry about it. It’s not your problem.If the previous driver wrote it up in the VIR, then that piece of equipment would be out of service. No one would be able to dispatch with it until it is fixed and put back in service.

And you do a proper pre-trip and catch it and refuse to pull it. Then call safety and tell them what happened.You put in a broken spring on the trailer or a suspension issue or whatever and it puts it oos. The shop and your tm deem it ok to travel and put it back in service without even so much as a mechanic look and the next driver takes off with it and knows nothing about it and has just certified it ok.

I was told they are hiring right out of driving school for the city in Pennsylvania Terminals. Must be able obtain hazmat within 90 days of hire! . Supposedly riding with P&D trainer for a month? I don't know that for sure, just what I been told.
You are correct I think this changed about 3-4 years agoDOT hasn’t required anything for a few years assuming there are no defects. You only need documentation for defects. If you’re driving it, that, in essence, is your certification you pre tripped it.
