Ok that is the inspection report. It shows no citation issued. Repair must be completed prior to his next dispatch and the inspection report with the mechanics signature must be sent back to CHP within 15 days.

Thanks.

Is there a specific form the mechanic fills out and signs?

Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't believe these lights have anything to do with safety?

The lights let other drivers aware of the height, width and length of the vehicle. They're required to be operational by federal law.

They wrote him up with some type of ticket or warning, not sure.

This would go on his MVR and effect his CSA score.

But can this be put on his DAC?

Yes, but it probably won't. I'd be more concerned with the CSA score and the MVR.

Writing this for my son who is a Stevens driver. So here is the scenario:

Driving in California, he had to stop into a Commercial Vehicle Safety check site. They found the overhead lights on Truck and Trailer were not operational. They were when he last checked. Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't believe these lights have anything to do with safety? They wrote him up with some type of ticket or warning, not sure.

But can this be put on his DAC? It seems unfair to me.

He is currently with the truck stop repair facility. They determined the truck lights are ok. (I don't know how) However, the trailer overheads are still not working. They think it might be water related, considering the storms over the last day or two.

Again, question is can this event be put on his DAC?

Thanks,
