[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1838940, member: 42691"] Never mind, found it. Although this document doesn't have a date to show when, and if, this was ever finalized. [URL]http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/sites/fmcsa.dot.gov/files/docs/Final%20Rule_DVIR_2_0_09-12-14.pdf[/URL] 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.
