Roadside inspection paperwork question

If it’s on the inspection report...they’ll see it either way

 

A. Are you asking if the regulations require you to pass it to the company?
B. Are you asking if your company policy is that the inspection report must be passed to the company?
C. Are you asking if most drivers pass the inspection report to the company?

Think carefully about which question you want answered, they may not be the same answer. I'm not that smart so of the 3 questions I asked, are you asking A, B, or C? Don't reword my 3 questions, please. A. B, or C?

 

Your Carrier most likely needs to sign and return it. They’ll need a copy for their records also.

Just tell your carrier ASAP and own it…why fret over it.

I’ve made those calls a few times before the ink dried on the report. I never once tried to hide them or make excuses. I believe being honest and direct means a lot to an employer.

Good luck, drive safely!

 

Instructions on what to do with the report are clearly stated on the report. The officer should have explained what you need to do also.

Your Carrier has 15 days to sign and send back acknowledging that they received it.

Not doing so will result in the DOT taking other actions..like contacting your carrier.

If there aren’t any violations they don’t need to sign anything or send anything back to the state.

I’m not sure what his company policy says, but like others have said I’m sure the company checks monthly or every couple months. Personally I send in clean inspections because the company I’m leased to gives you a few bucks for them.
