[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 219343, member: 6408"] You mentioned that the CCR is kinda hard to find. That may be. You also stated that your tractor is never signed off by the outside mech. Well, if it just goes in for PMI, it won't be signed off. If you write up a "needs service" report on it tho, then it is MANDATORY that it is signed off by mech. You cannot drive that piece of equip if it is not signed off by mech, especially safety item. Now, I don't like to do this, but I will if it's necessary: Get anal. By that I mean, when you're punched in, look at your tractor DVIR, see that required writeup is not signed off, then refuse to drive it until it IS signed off. Radical? Yes, but what are you supposed to do? Drive it with unsigned-off item pending? What if then you DID have crash and it could be tracked back to item you checked but was not signed off? You know the answer to that. You cannot be forced to drive something that is unsafe. If so, I have DOT safety 800 # here if you would like. Just be safe and do what's right. [/QUOTE]
