I drive a bobtail grocery delivery truck,it does not require a commercial license to operate.I always fill out a daily inspection report,some other of our drivers never bother.I tell them it's required and they just laugh it off.My supervisor never checks on that or hours worked.Is this a violation of federal law?

the company is supposed to keep records of the d.v.i.r (daily vehicle inspection report) for 90 days. if d.o.t came in and did an random inspection and the dvir's aren't up to date. then, they would not be in compliance with Federal dot law. if u as a driver would go through the scales and they ask to see your dvir. then, you would be responsible and in violation. so, the answer to question is "yes".

Absolutely ! I have been a DOT safety and compliance officer for some time, and pre- and post-trip inspections are required on ALL commercial vehicles. The employer is required to keep these reports on file....you don't want to know what the fines are for violations....up to and including losing one's operating authority.

The absolutely free reverse vin check sites generally provide fake information. To get real information, money will have to be paid. The free searches provide fake information so they can get your email address to send spam.
Stay away from shady reverse vin check sites, most likely you won't get any information after you make the payment. Not to mention you won't get a report and you won't get an answer if you try to call for a refund. Stick with a reputable reverse vin check site like http://www.reversevincheck.net that has been around since 1995.

If it is a requirement and it is ignored, a state inspection can shut you down on the spot.
I'm sure you wouldn't want to get behind the wheel of a truck that has no brakes and not know it because the previous driver didn't think he had to.
Yes, it's THAT important.

I'm not sure where you are from, so I'm just going to suggest you go to your local DMV or where ever you can get a book and info about commercial vehicle laws.
I know that in Ontario you don't need a log book if you travel less than 100 miles away from your home terminal, but I believe the employer is responsible to maintain and keep records of safety and employees hours.
