WASHINGTON, May 30 -- Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has issued a proposed rule called: Electronic Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports.

The proposed rule was published in the Federal Register on May 30 by Sue Lawless, Assistant Administrator.

Summary: FMCSA proposes to clarify the requirement to complete a Daily Vehicle Inspection Report (DVIR), based upon a public comment filed by the National Tank Truck Carriers (NTTC). The DVIR may already be completed electronically, however this NPRM proposes explicit language to make this clear. This will encourage motor carriers and drivers to utilize electronic, cost-saving methods when completing DVIRs.
