Then, if you are not currently connected to the ELD, you can search for and select the appropriate Vehicle/Unit. Previous inspections for that unit will display with various flags/text indicators as to the status of the inspection.

The ELD app will only retrieve open DVIRs from Encompass that are or less than 90 days old. This is per regulation that the retention period for all DVIRs is 3 months from the date the report was completed.

 

Once a defect is reported, the defect must be corrected before the DVIR can be certified as complete by the driver. Reporting the defect as "corrected" can be done by an Encompass® Admin or an Encompass® ELD user.

Deferred Defects
(Note: Deferred Defects are a feature of app version .306 and newer)

If the defect is unable to be fixed in the moment (ie. a mechanic needs to order parts) the mechanic is able to defer the defect's repair. This is done in Encompass. In the example below, a DVIR for the selected unit initially had reported defects. The mechanic reviewed these in Encompass and indicated that the defect is being deferred, due to having to order parts. Once the mechanic goes through the deferral process, the driver will see a Mechanic Reviewed flag. 

The driver can tap on that inspection to review the Mechanic's notes/deferral details.

Further tapping on the Deferred defects will open notes from the mechanic, along with any initial notes left by the driver. In this case, the mechanic noted that parts have been ordered and that the vehicle is safe to drive. The driver can tap OK after reviewing the details. Then, the driver can Certify and Submit, acknowledging that they reviewed these updates to the defects.

Once the mechanic repairs the defect, the mechanic will mark it as Resolved in Encompass. In this case, the battery arrived and the driver was directed to bring the vehicle in for repair. The driver can then see the DVIR has been flagged Resolved. The driver can still click into the DVIR and review any details/notes the mechanic left on the previously deferred item.

Mobile/ELD user/Driver documents that corrections have been made to a defect

Sometimes, when a driver is completing a DVIR, they find a defect, but are able to remedy the issue right away. For example, they find a burnt out headlight on the vehicle, they may be able to replace the light right away. In cases like this, once they submit the DVIR reporting the defect, they can go back into the DVIR and Certify and Submit that the corrections are made and reviewed.  

 

Tap on the inspection to open DVIR details.

Then, Certify and Submit when finished.
