Question of the Week

My driver has gone through a roadside inspection, how long do I have to keep this documentation on file?

Answer: Copies of all roadside inspections are to be kept by the motor carrier for 12 months.  The driver is required to turn in the inspection to the motor carrier within 24 hours.  If they are not going to return to the terminal they are to mail in the inspection.  If the inspection resulted in violations they are to be corrected or repaired and the inspection form is to be signed and certified that the repairs were completed and sent back to the state of inspection within 15 days.
