What's the current reg on the requirement to write up a daily VIR? Recently there was some buzz about if there was nothing wrong with the vehicle, a written report was not required. Then, I bought some new log forms and the VIR is no longer on the back. Surely something is required and I probably need to find the forms. Thanks in advance for the help.

The DOT dropped the requirement for a daily DVIR. I think in December. Now the only time you have to fill one out is when you find a defect on your post trip inspection.
-
We have inspection booklets with 2 copies self carboned from Keller, with the company info required on them preprinted.
The booklets should be for sale.
You might want to look for logbooks/loose leafs with the DVIR included. -
Fill it out id a problem is found pre or post trip. Mechanic still has to sign off on repairs. My elogs still bug me for one everyday. Drives me batty.

Separate books just for dvir are sold in many truck stops

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
49 CFR Parts 392 and 396
[Docket No. FMCSA-2012-0336]
RIN 2126-AB46
Inspection, Repair, and Maintenance; Driver-Vehicle Inspection Report (DVIR)
SUMMARY: FMCSA rescinds the requirement that commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers operating in interstate commerce, except drivers of passenger-carrying CMVs, submit, and motor carriers retain, DVIRs when the driver has neither found nor been made aware of any vehicle defects or deficiencies. This rule also harmonizes the pre- and post-trip inspection lists. It responds in part to the Presidents January 2011 Regulatory Review and Reform initiative, removing a significant information collection burden without adversely impacting safety. The Agency also makes a technical change to section 396.11 to eliminate redundant language.

Note that the information on the FMCSA webpages for 396.11 has not been updated to reflect this amendment.tompetty69, dca and dptrucker Thank this. -
