PART 396: DVIR AND PERIODIC INSPECTION (CALIFORNIA)

Options

Greetings,

In regards to FMCSR PART 396 Inspection, Repair and Maintenance and 1215 Title 13 California Code of Regulations what are the rules pertaining to Non CDL CMVS and their drivers.

In a discussion I had with the California Highway Patrol the following was covered.

According to 1202.1 & 2 and 396.11 DVIRs are required even on motor vehicles under 26001 pounds if they are modified from their original manufactured body. The example was clarified as in a utility bed.

I have 3 Crew Trucks (F-450) with utility beds that have been determine DO indeed need DVIRs.

The drivers of these vehicles do not need to be drug tested?

Do these motor vehicles only need DVIRs but not the 90 Day California BIT Inspection?
