Complete a DVIR
Before you log out, you will be asked to complete a DVIR for your vehicle, similar to the DVIR
workflow upon logging in. If you choose to skip the DVIR for your vehicle, the event is recorded in
the Audit Log. If you are performing a post-trip inspection, your duty status will automatically
switch to the On Duty status. The new On Duty status is automatically annotated to reflect that
a post-trip inspection has occurred.
Note: According to the FMCSA 396.11, a driver must prepare a DVIR at the completion of
each days work and shall submit those reports to the motor carrier upon his/her return to
the home terminal. This does not relieve the motor carrier from the responsibility of effecting
repairs and certification of any items listed on the DVIR, prepared at the end of each days
work, that would be likely to affect the safety of the operation of the motor vehicle.

Verifying Logs
You will be presented with 14 days of duty status logs excluding logs that have already been
reviewed for verification. It is recommended that you verify your logs routinely, particularly at
the end of a shift. However, you can skip log verification using the Skip button.4

Setting a New Duty Status
Finally, you will be reminded to set your duty status to an appropriate non-driving status.
