It will also manage both Driver Vehicle Inspection (DVIR) and Driver Vehicle Exception (DVER) reports and record a motor carrier's pre-trip, post-trip, or both.? With addition of the application, it helps to create an environment where users and repair vendors have even greater transparency to accurate and powerful information that can be easily shared -- taking advantage of its mobile functionality and adaptability.? ?

"Greater emphasis is being placed on creating systems that exchange information flexibly and efficiently between all industry stakeholders. This was precisely our philosophy when we developed the Chassis MandR system as well as our other management systems in the Chassis Management Application Suite, and it's further strengthened with our recent deployment of our mobile application," says Martucci.?
