Which document should be completed and signed to report vehicle defects?

• A. Pre-trip inspection report
• B. Cargo manifest
• C. DVIR
• D. Driver's daily log

Answer: (C)

The Driver Vehicle Inspection Report is the form you use to report vehicle defects. After you inspect the vehicle, you list any defects on the DVIR and sign it to certify what you found. This lets the motor carrier know what needs repair before the next trip. The pre-trip inspection is the act of checking the vehicle, but the actual document used to communicate defects is the DVIR. Cargo manifests are for the goods being carried, not vehicle condition, and a driver's daily log tracks hours of service, not defects.
