[QUOTE="TooTechie, post: 1861260, member: 28388"] P.S. Unfortunately, there is no DOT requirement for a post-trip inspection, only a post trip report. [SIZE=4] [U]§ 396.13: Driver inspection.[/U][/SIZE] [B]Before[/B] driving a motor vehicle, the driver shall: (a) Be satisfied that the motor vehicle is in safe operating condition; (b) Review the last driver vehicle inspection report; and (c) Sign the report, only if defects or deficiencies were noted by the driver who prepared the report, to acknowledge that the driver has reviewed it and that there is a certification that the required repairs have been performed. The signature requirement does not apply to listed defects on a towed unit which is no longer part of the vehicle combination. ------------------------------------ Question 25: [URL='http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/title49/section/396.11']Section 396.11[/URL] requires the driver, at the completion of each days work, to prepare a written report on each vehicle operated that day. [B]Does this section require a "post trip inspection"[/B] of the kind described in [URL='http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/title49/section/396.15']§396.15[/URL]? Guidance:[B] No[/B]. However, the written report must include all defects in the parts and accessories listed in [URL='http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/title49/section/396.11']§396.11(a)[/URL] that were discovered by or reported to the driver during that day. Here are the complete DOT regulations: [URL]http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/title49/part/396[/URL] That being said, there could be state regulations requiring a post-trip and it's company policy to do a post trip. As dumb as it is, if management tells you to do a post trip on the road, do it as long as you've done a proper pre-trip. [/QUOTE]
