§ 1215. Vehicle Condition.
(C) Sign the report, only if defects or deficiencies were noted by the driver who prepared the report, to acknowledge that the driver has reviewed it and that there is a certification pursuant to subsection (f) that the required repairs have been performed. The signature requirement does not apply to listed defects on a towed unit which is no longer part of the vehicle combination.
(c) Daily Report. Every motor carrier shall require its drivers to report, and every driver shall prepare a report in writing at the completion of each day's work on each vehicle operated. School bus drivers' reports shall cover at least the items listed in subdivision (d), and all other drivers' reports shall cover at least the following parts and accessories:
(e) Report Content. The report shall identify the motor vehicle and all towed vehicles and list any defect or deficiency discovered by or reported to the driver which would affect safety of operation of the motor vehicle or combination or result in its mechanical breakdown. If no defect or deficiency is discovered by or reported to the driver, the report(s) shall so indicate. In all instances, the driver shall sign the vehicle inspection report. On two-driver operations, only one driver needs to sign the report, provided both drivers agree as to the defects or deficiencies. If a driver operates more than one vehicle during the day, a report shall be prepared for each vehicle operated.
(h) Exception. Subsection (c) shall not apply to a motor carrier operating only one motor vehicle, provided the motor vehicle is a motor truck or truck tractor, and the motor carrier is the owner and sole driver of the motor vehicle. A motor carrier, otherwise excepted from the reporting requirement by this subdivision, who tows trailer(s) not owned by or leased to that motor carrier, shall submit documented daily report(s) for the trailers as required by subsection (b). Such reports shall be submitted to the person(s) from whom the trailers were obtained.
