Inspection, Repair & Maintenance (Part 396) Systematically maintain & inspect (396.3(a)) Vehicles controlled thirty (30) consecutive days You get to “write the rule” - carrier is allowed to determine inspection, maintenance, and lubrication schedule, and “checklist requirements,” based on OEM recommendations, past experience, and other factors. Once established, it must be followed! Tom Bray J. J. Keller & Associates, Inc. Dial-in: 1-888-824-5783, Pass Code: 61156559#; Tech Support: 1-888-259-8414, Webinar ID: 198466121

A “Systematic” Program Typical “systematic” program (complete with supporting checklists): PM-A “Safety check” - Inspection of key components and lubrication. Typically ½ of oil change interval or each time the vehicle leaves or enters terminal PM-B “Oil change and service” - All PM-A items, plus oil change and more in-depth inspection (removing covers, etc.) PM-C “Annual” - All PM-A and B items, plus more in-depth inspection, replacement of specific parts, and annual inspection Tom Bray J.

Required Records (396.3(b)) Vehicle identification (396.3 (b)(1)), including fleet number, VIN, make, model, year, tire size, and owner (if not owned by the carrier) Schedule for inspection, maintenance, and lubrication (396.3 (b)(2)) Record of inspections, maintenance, lubrication and repairs (396.3 (b)(3)) Records of inspections, maintenance, lubrication and repairs retained for one (1) year and six (6) months after vehicle leaves carrier control Tom Bray J.

Audit Point - Recordkeeping The auditor will verify that you are performing the inspections, maintenance, and lubrication on the systematic schedule you have established for yourself. Common violations are not having a schedule, not following an established schedule, and not maintaining records. Third parties may perform maintenance and recordkeeping but carrier is ultimately responsible for providing such records at the time of audit. Tom Bray J. J. Keller & Associates, Inc.

Unsafe Operations Forbidden (396.7) Catchall for law enforcement and auditors A motor vehicle shall not be operated in such a condition as to likely cause an accident or a breakdown of the vehicle. Knowingly operating an unsafe vehicle can make a carrier criminally liable. Tom Bray J. J. Keller & Associates, Inc. Delete or keep?

Audit Point – Roadside Inspections Major point of DOT Compliance Review If roadside OOS rate 34% or more, cannot receive “Satisfactory” rating in vehicle factor. Auditor will verify that violations noted in roadside inspection reports were repaired in a timely manner. If the vehicle was placed out-of-service, the auditor will verify that the repairs were done before the vehicle was operated. Frequently asked question: Can a carrier or driver be cited (issued a citation) for a mechanical violation NOT listed in Appendix G or the CVSA Out-of-Service Criteria? YES, any violation of Parts 393, 396, or 571 discovered at the roadside can be cited by the officer (they will at the very least be listed as a “violation” on the inspection report). Only the more serious violations lead to an out-of-service order! Tom Bray J. J. Keller & Associates, Inc.

Tom Bray J. J. Keller & Associates, Inc. Pre-trip (392.7 and 396.13) Driver cannot operate the vehicle until the driver is satisfied with the condition of the vehicle (Appendix G is the guide) Regulations list the MINIMUM that must be checked. Many carriers require more! No required form, however, many carriers have developed mandatory forms or require flagging on the driver’s log (best practice). Tom Bray J. J. Keller & Associates, Inc.

Tom Bray J. J. Keller & Associates, Inc. Enroute “Walk-around inspection” checking tires, lights, hubs, cargo securement, coupling devices, and general condition. Tire check is only required if vehicle is hauling hazardous materials. Cargo check only required if hauling unsealed cargo. Done every time the vehicle is parked. Driver must stop every 3 hours/150 miles to check unsealed cargo (HM tire check whenever stopped). No required form. Best practice, “flag” on log. Tom Bray J. J. Keller & Associates, Inc.

Tom Bray J. J. Keller & Associates, Inc. Post-trip/DVIR (396.11) Pre-trip cannot take place of post-trip/DVIR Copy of last DVIR NOT required to be carried on the power unit anymore-retained by company for three months Carrier must maintain original records containing: Repairs needed and driver signature Certification of repairs or decision to not repair Certification of driver review repairs or decision to not repair Tom Bray J.

Practical Recordkeeping Compliance Issues When to complete DVIR: Driver done for the day Switch trailers – can have one DVIR for all trailers Switch truck – new DVIR Slip-seat – new DVIR when driver done Team – 24 hours 1 DVIR DVIR can be on back or bottom of driver’s log: The log must be available by equipment number in case of audit. If on back or bottom of the driver’s record of duty status (log), the driver(s) must guide the DVIR thru the process—the requirements are the same. Maintenance needs DVIR if deficiency Retention changes to six months! Tom Bray J. J. Keller & Associates, Inc.

Tom Bray J. J. Keller & Associates, Inc. Audit Point - Records DVIR violation in compliance reviews common (number one critical violation). Common violations: Failure to submit Failure to act on reported defects (can lead to claims of knowingly operating unsafe equipment) Failure to have certifying signatures Failure to retain Tom Bray J.

Periodic (Annual Inspection) Each CMV inspected at least every twelve (12) months (396.17(c)) Inspected per Appendix G (396.17(a)) Proof of inspection (396.17(c)(1)) Must use a qualified inspector (396.19) Records retained for fourteen (14) months (396.21(b)(1)) Can use state equivalent (396.23) Closely related to roadside inspection Tom Bray J. J. Keller & Associates, Inc. Dial-in: 1-888-824-5783, Pass Code: 61156559#; Tech Support: 1-888-259-8414, Webinar ID: 198466121

Periodic (Annual Inspection) Appendix G lists the requirements for successful passage of a periodic/annual inspection. The vehicle must constantly be maintained in a status that complies with Appendix G, not just pass the inspection once a year. Final portion compares Appendix G to the CVSA Out-of-Service Criteria. Tom Bray J. J. Keller & Associates, Inc. Dial-in: 1-888-824-5783, Pass Code: 61156559#; Tech Support: 1-888-259-8414, Webinar ID: 198466121

Appendix G v. CVSA OOS Criteria Appendix G and CVSA Out-of-Service Criteria follow the same format whenever Appendix G and CVSA Out-of-Service Criteria differ – Appendix G is stricter. Example: One defective brake (bad shoe, drum, or brake out-of-adjustment) would lead to a vehicle not passing a periodic inspection. The CVSA Out-of-Service criteria would allow the vehicle to continue its current trip, if the one defective brake is on a non-steering axle. Tom Bray J. J. Keller & Associates, Inc.

Why the Regs Aren’t Followed Poor communication Conflicting goals Forms and processes that lead to poor follow-through Tom Moore National Private Truck Council If that’s the case, then why do so many fleets struggle with compliance? In most of the cases drivers simply don’t understand the need for doing so and in many cases they don’t see the reward for doing so. What I’m talking about here is that even if they fill out the paperwork, their issues are not addressed by the shop. And in many cases, they are not rewarded financially for completing the pre-trip inspection. Remember the old rule that what gets rewarded, gets done. So if drivers are bing paid by the mile, most are going to want to get out and start rolling as quickly as possible.   Dial-in: 1-888-824-5783, Pass Code: 61156559#; Tech Support: 1-888-259-8414, Webinar ID: 198466121 24

Raising the Bar: Daily Inspections Best Practices Hire intelligently Train drivers Arm them with the right tools Ensure follow-up with all personnel Pay a driver incentive tied to inspection performance with inspections as one metric Tom Moore National Private Truck Council Remember a good safety and maintenance program must take inspection procedures beyond mere compliance. Inspections allow the maintenance manager to keep his or her finger on the pulse of that equipment, helping to pinpoint problems in the formative stages, allowing the shop to schedule repairs without interrupting the utilization of the vehicle. These inspections can also help uncover safety-related defects. Remember that to a driver, safety and maintenance are one in the same. So how are NPTC members raising the bar? They recognize that it is a shared responsibility. It is an opportunity for effective communications. A good compliance program is built upon a strong, informed staff. Questions that determine if the employee understands why the procedure exists should also be asked. Questions such as, “Why do you need to document your daily vehicle inspections at the end of the day?” will give an indication if the employee understands and believes in the regulation, or if they are just going through the motions in order to comply with company policy. An answer like, “I do it because that is how you told me to do it,” indicates that the employee is just going through the motions. If the answer indicates that the inspection is best documented at the end of the day because that is when the employee is most aware of defects in the truck, then they generally have a good understanding of the regulation exists.   To encourage the highest amount of cooperation, daily inspection forms should be quick and painless to complete. That is, provide a checklist of major component systems and allow a space for the driver to write in any remarks. Make sure there is a place for the reporting driver to sign and date the form, along with a section for the maintenance department to describe the actions taken. If drivers believe you do not care about vehicle condition and maintenance, they will not care either. If new truck assignments, performance bonuses, and/or awards are tied to maintaining vehicle conditions drivers will start caring!

Audit Your Inspection Practices Out of service rates Accident rates Equipment violation citations Maintenance cost and repair Tom Moore National Private Truck Council Fleets can only be sure their system is working properly if they audit it on a regular basis. By entering information into a spreadsheet or database, they can begin to see trends in compliance patterns. Some of the items fleets should consider tracking include: Out-of-Service Rates: If DOT is putting the vehicles out of service, then your employees are not detecting the problems. If your drivers are putting the vehicles out of service, then they are doing their job. Accident Rates: A good accident investigation program will help you determine the cause of your problems. If you begin to see vehicle problems appearing as causes, then you likely have problems with your inspection and maintenance programs. Equipment Violation Citations: Equipment violation trends are good indicators of how well your system is working. You should require your divers to provide you with copies of any violations and citations they receive as soon as possible after they occur. You can also obtain a copy of your carrier profile by contacting FMCSA. You should monitor these information sources on a regular basis in order to determine if your program is working effectively. Maintenance Cost and Repair: Reviewing maintenance cost and repair types is also a good indicator of how your system is working. An exorbitant amount of expensive, “emergency” repairs may indicate that your preventive maintenance and inspection programs are breaking down. Stable repair costs, involving mostly routine repairs, are a good indicator that your procedures are being followed properly.   Dial-in: 1-888-824-5783, Pass Code: 61156559#; Tech Support: 1-888-259-8414, Webinar ID: 198466121 28

Benefits of Raising the Bar Lower overall maintenance costs Increased fuel mileage Improved driver retention Improved on-time percentages Tom Moore National Private Truck Council Lower overall maintenance costs (PM and in-house repairs are always cheaper than on-road emergency repairs due to breakdowns or OOS orders), increased fuel mileage (tire inflation and lubrication), improved driver retention (drivers that are constantly broken down tend to go to work somewhere else), and improved on-time percentages due to less breakdowns and out-of-service orders.

PBG’s Critical Success Factors Clear communication is essential Establish responsibilities: Driver: At the end of day, the white copy of your DVIR shall be turned in to the dispatcher or supervisor. The yellow copy is for repairs only. If no repair is needed discard the yellow copy. The pink copy remains in the book. Once your book is completely full, return it to fleet shop and pick up a new one. Dispatcher/Supervisor: Must ensure the integrity and accuracy of the DVIR Manager: Must ensure daily compliance and ultimately own the retention process. Manager should conduct random mock DOT audits to measure success. Dan Norris Pepsi Bottling Group When you visit the doctor, do you only tell her about a few symptoms your having or do you disclose everything? If your doctor only has half the story what’s the chance of her making the proper diagnoses? For example: you wouldn’t tell the doctor your leg hurts when in fact you have a broken leg. You would probably tell the doctor it’s broken and how you broke it. The same applies when writing up your vehicle for service. The more information you communicate about what’s happening with your vehicle, the more likely it can be fixed right the first time.
