The Intermodal Association of North America has launched the IANA Driver Vehicle Inspection Report Processing System, which helps motor carriers, intermodal equipment providers, facility operators, and maintenance and repair vendors with regulatory compliance and identification of defective equipment.


Starting June 30, DVIR reporting is required by motor carriers to IEPs under the final "Roadability" regulations. IANA's DVIR Processing System supports IEPs that have registered with the Global Intermodal Equipment Registry (GIER) and authorized IANA to process equipment condition reports on their behalf.

The system allows IANA to receive driver or motor carrier-supplied equipment information collected by multiple methods, including IANA's DVIR Web portal, EDI, telephone via interactive voice response system, XML, CSV or fixed file format data transfer.

IANA has created interfaces between GIER, IANA's Intermodal Driver Database and the Uniform Intermodal Interchange and Facilities Access Agreement database in order to provide efficient and secure access to the data required for DVIR completion. The process also includes provisions for an electronic driver's signature, eliminating paper processes.

Beginning June 9, IANA will conduct a series of DVIR processing webinars. Motor carriers, IEPs, facility operators, and maintenance and repair vendors may register for IANA DVIR processing services by visiting www.DVIR.Intermodal.org.
