Did you know?

The Vehicle Maintenance Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Category (BASIC) is one of seven categories that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) uses to determine how a motor carrier ranks relative to other carriers with a similar number of safety events (i.e., inspections, violations, or crashes). The Vehicle Maintenance BASIC addresses the requirements within the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs), specifically 49 CFR Parts 392, 393 and 396, to properly maintain a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) and to prevent shifting loads, spilled or dropped cargo, and overloading of a CMV. Proper maintenance includes, among other things, ensuring that lamps and reflectors are working, and tires are not worn. Some example roadside safety violations that may cause a motor carrier to rank poorly in this BASIC include operating an out-of-service vehicle or operating a vehicle with inoperative brakes, lights, and/or other mechanical defects, and failure to make required repairs. Improper load securement (see the specific requirements by commodity type in 49 CFR Part 393.116 – 393.136) and cargo retention violations are also examples of roadside violations included in this BASIC that will make up part of your Safety Fitness Determination rating.

CDL Manager has a team of experts that will walk you through the process of how to obtain this information and how to help with Roadside Inspection Reduction.  CDL Manager’s Compliance Management Software is dedicated to helping you make your “office work” that much easier.  With access to the software, you will be able to upload all documents needed and manage them with ease. 

If the FMCSA decides to do an investigation or inspection, Safety Investigators may ask for some of the following documents: roadside inspection reports, vehicle maintenance files, annual vehicle inspection reports, Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports (DVIRs), equipment repair receipts, evidence of driver training on load securement, and accident reports. Motor carriers should keep these documents as required by the FMCSRs, and know that SIs may use them to assess the nature and severity of safety problems.  CDL Manager can help you avoid penalties with your investigation and help with your Roadside Inspection Reductions.

So let CDL Manager handle your Trucking Operation Management so you never have to worry about vehicle maintenance files again.  Remember, Vehicle Maintenance Files made easy with CDL Manager.
