Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) The following practices and forms are recommended to motor carriers for consideration as one means of establishing the inspection and maintenance practices which are required by 13:20-26.3 through 26.9.
1. As a convenient means of providing for the report required by 13:20-26.3, the "Driver's Vehicle Condition Report" is suggested. The items are arranged in a logical order of inspection. While the provisions do not require a written inspection report prior to operating, the form may be adapted for such a report by duplicating the text of the form and using an appropriate heading. Changes may be made to suit the particular carrier's operations, such as by providing for the recording of more than one inspection on a single form.
2. As a convenient means for providing the systematic inspection and maintenance records required by 13:20-26.3, the Inspection and Maintenance Reports I and II are suggested, but the provisions do not require any particular type or form of records. Other systems recommended by the vehicle manufacturers are suggested as alternative methods.
3. A cardboard check sheet for each inspection period is recommended to be placed in the maintenance facility. Under the suggested system, when the four 1,000-mile inspections have been completed, the mechanic will know that he or she should perform the 5,000-mile inspection in accordance with the 5,000-mile inspection card. These forms, especially the mileage intervals, are suitable for the average over-the-road operator but changes may be made to adapt them to the individual operation. The items listed may be too numerous for some operations and in such cases, carriers may select items applicable to their own operations. Carriers may alter the recommended mileage figures to suit their needs or inspection periods may be determined on other than a mileage basis such as time or fuel consumption. The fundamental requirement is that there be a systematic inspection and maintenance system.
