You left out, fix the problem without buying replacement parts.

That's right. If you don't have the part just jerry rig it. Get the truck back on the road asap.

An excellent picture, Boy Wonder. You are a fine youthful ward, and Aunt Harriet and Chief O'Hara are proud of you. To the Batpole!!!

FedEx Ground Maintenance Philosophy: There is is nothing that duct tape cannot fix.
Actually a lot of truth to that and Mythbusters proved it.
ORION would have you two blocks away so there is no way UPS hits that tree.
700s are safer I feel.

Egads, Robin! - not that Batpole!
Dear Youthful Ward Dick Grayson,
Listen. old chum. I'm wondering if you're interested in helping me battle a new super-villain that makes the Penguin, Joker, and Riddler look like amateurs? His name is The Chiseler, and he steals hundreds of millions of dollars from his workers with all sorts of villainous, dastardly scams! He is slick, but not oily like the foul Penguin or outlandishly garbed like the garish Riddler or fiendish clown prince of crime, the Joker. The Chiseler wears a nice suit and looks fairly average, with gray hair and a scheming team of accomplices who also wear fine suits. One is fat and black, resembling a television evangelist. The other looks like an aging Boy Scout, with a deceptive Disney charm. Both are very dangerous! They have formed many alliances with America's political leaders in a treasonous plot that would make even a hardened veteran say "Golly, Miss Molly".
Boy Wonder, Can I count on you to assist the Caped Crusader in an unprecedented effort to rid the world of these gosh darned evil scoundrels? The Bat Copter and Bat Mobile are both ready, Robin. The foam mattress factory has been alerted in case we need them. Chief O'Hara and Commissioner Gordon are already on-board as is Warden Borden. Alas, Alfred is no longer with us, but here in spirit! Atomic batteries to power, turbines to speed, IGNITION!!
As Always, Your partner in crime fighting.

Vehicle inspection report. Just the end of day in the scanner where you mark "no defects".

What a joke. A real VIR means a real vehicle inspection, with a place where the driver signs, and another where the mechanic signs off the problem as fixed. Electronic scanner "inspections" like you describe or Zonar are problematic because you're just scanning a location point or "verifying" that an item has been inspected, when all you really might have done is quickly scan the tag. I've heard of plenty of 45 second pre-trips.

I agree that it is not a vehicle inspection.... It's just the report. If you have a defect you mark what it is and the vehicle can't be dispatched until the defect has been repaired and signed off on.
How do you have time to do a pre trip when your manager has changed your route 3 times in the 10 minutes since you punched and you just finally got your stuff into the right truck again and then he's announcing that we're skipping the meeting to start the sort 5 minutes early and everyone should be at their sort positions...

Do your pre trip and let stuff travel to the end of the belt. Then have your manager get someone to bring it back to you because you were doing your pre trip.
Can't fire you for doing your job.

Ultimately the VIR's is a key to making sure you'll get home at the end of your shift I can't say how many times I found nails and bolts in my tires and other defects on pre and post inspection.But also to cover yourself if anything was to go wrong I notice so far how fedex management is quick to blame a courier when something goes wrong specially when we're at fault the first person they will throw under the bus will always be the driver.
