Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Department of Transportation (DOT).
Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
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.
Comments must be received on or before July 29, 2025.
