(again, check the CHP site or the legislation directly for specific wording). gross rating and 3 or more axles or a gross weight of over 26,000 lbs. The maintenance record requirement applies to vehicles with a 10,000 lb. “Maintenance records” includes all required maintenance, lubrication, and repair records and drivers’ daily vehicle condition reports.“Driver records” includes pull notice system records, driver proficiency records, and driver timekeeping records.Here are some details about record keeping straight from the law: So your record keeping should go beyond just the ones that are subject to the rest of the regulation. Note that CHP may request hours-of-service and driver logbook records about any truck that is regulated by the DMV, PUC, or the US DOT (even if it isn’t otherwise affected by the legislation based upon gross weight or number of axles). They will be looking for a “representative sample” based upon the size of your fleet of trucks and tractors (trailers not included in the count): When your site is inspected by CHP, you won’t necessarily need to produce all of your records. Even if you lease your trucks, your organization is responsible for BIT inspections and record keeping (operators with short-term leases on their vehicles could rely on the vehicle owners for this in the past).Īs before, it is still critical that you maintain records about your trucks including inspections performed, hours of service, and driver logbooks.Fees are now paid annually to the California DMV instead of CHP.Meanwhile, a terminal that receives an “unsatisfactory” rating must be re-inspected by CHP within 120 days. Terminals receiving “satisfactory” ratings may not be inspected again for up to six years.

This legislation altered the previous “Biennial Inspection of Terminals” regulation in some significant ways. At the beginning of 2016, California State Assembly Bill 529 (Lowenthal ) went into effect.
