[QUOTE="pickup, post: 1851323"] I wish it would . That way, when the dispatcher get a yellow copy with the key, he should know automatically to put the truck out of service and to not redispatch it. With so many yellow copies floating around, mistakes can be honestly be made. But I highly suspect that sometimes mistakes are made on purpose when a shortage of tractors relative to drivers(this happens especially around peak) is occurring. The dispatcher usually sticks a casual with a truck with a missing mudflap tractor or even worse. The casual is too intimidated to say anything and takes the truck. If something happens, he will hear "didn't you read the DVIR?, why did you take the truck?" . That same driver, had he turned around after reading the DVIR in the truck and went back to dispatch and said "it's written up, can't take it".He will be engaged in a discussion that goes something like this: Dispatch- What's wrong with it? Driver- it says low oil,missing mud flap and right front headlight not working. Dispatch - oh that's good enough to go to the rail yard and once you do the rail, go to the shop and get it fixed". It's a stupid game . Safety first?? Only when no one else is in the race. I know companies like schneider have their drivers do their dvirs on the computer. The same computer that has their hours of service logs. Gee, we have an ivis that keeps our hours of service, you think maybe we could do a dvir on that as well. The Dot allows Schneider to do it. And it would be great if that created a computerized list of tractors to take out of service Ahh, but that would eliminate the plausibility deniability on the part of dispatchers. [/QUOTE]
