Which statement about inspection reports is true?

• A. All of the above.
• B. You will only get a report if problems were found.
• C. You are required to turn in the report to your carrier when you get to the next terminal or facility (or send to your motor carrier within 24 hours).
• D. Your carrier needs to address any problems with your vehicle and return the form to the issuing agency within 25 business days.

Answer: (C)

After finishing an inspection, you must complete a Vehicle Inspection Report and give it to your motor carrier. The report should be turned in at the next terminal or facility you reach, or sent to the carrier within 24 hours. This keeps the carrier informed of the vehicle’s condition so any defects can be addressed promptly, and it’s required even if no problems were found. The idea that you only get a report if problems were found isn’t correct, since the VIR is meant to document the inspection regardless. The notion of the carrier returning the form to the issuing agency within 25 business days isn’t part of standard procedure, and there isn’t a 25-day deadline like that.
