I agree that it would have been nice if the driver had given a more info to save the Mech a little time. However, unless the mech would not have had to check out the signals based on the additional info it would not have changed anything. The mech would still have had to check them.
I have always given pretty detailed symptoms on the DVIR , I was a mechanic before going to work for UPS. I actually received a written chew out as a reply from our mech for diagnosing the problem, not because I was incorrect(I was spot on) but because he had no excuse to say, " Could not duplicate problem".
Bottom line is, Big is correct on this, the DVIR is a legal document, an air of professionalism should be observed by anyone writing in the book.
Oh and don't worry too much about the mech being overworked, he gets paid by the hour too.
