Cadec Global, which provides enterprise-class fleet management systems, announced that it has partnered with Innovative Software Engineering (ISE) to deliver integrated electronic DVIR (eDVIR) capabilities in its flagship PowerVue fleet management software. eDVIRs allow PowerVue users to go completely paperless for inspection reports.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requires that every truck driver prepare a Driver Vehicle Inspection Report (DVIR) at the completion of each day’s work and then submit those reports to the motor carrier upon his/her return to the home terminal. The objective is for drivers to flag potential safety and maintenance issues so they can be addressed before the next driving shift. Traditionally, DVIRs are prepared using paper forms, and the information is then manually entered into vehicle maintenance systems by clerks.
Moving to electronic DVIRs (eDVIRs) helps save paper and time for both drivers and administrators and helps eliminate errors that occur when people transcribe written notes.
Cadec says its integrated eDVIR application is compliant with FMCSA 396.11 and 396.13 regulations for driver vehicle inspections and reports, and is fully configurable to support customized inspection lists for vehicles and trailers.
With the integration of eDVIRs into PowerVue, Cadec customers can now:
• Prompt drivers automatically when vehicle and trailer inspections are required;
• Review eDVIRs to confirm that a vehicle is safe to operate, retrieving the latest information from the power unit and trailers;
