Convenient that wording about how the DVIR's are suppose to get back to the equipment provider isn't included? Convenient for the equipment provider that is. The equipment providers are now expecting motor carriers to submit all DVIR's online and they want out-gated DVIR's to be submitted prior to in-gate. Chassis.com says "it only takes about a minute per DVIR" but when we have 300 DVIR's in a day it means we have to hire another person. We have a handful of trucks that do nothing but move chassis and containers between terminals. They can do upwards of 12 in a day. 6 trucks at 12 a day means 144 DVIR's, all of which we won't see until the following day. And they want out-gated DVIR's prior to in-gate? I wonder how that's going to happen. These regulations were created specifically to make sure that container chassis provided by the equipment providers are legally roadable. Why is the motor carrier having to jump through hoops to help the equipment provider? It's because that process by which the DVIR's get back to the equipment provider wasn't included in the regulations and the equipment provider has shifted that burden to the motor carrier. You know what they say rolls down hill...
