Senior Trooper Monty Dial (Ret.)<\/a>, Texas Highway Patrol, Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division, Garland, TX: <\/strong>FMCSA from time to time will remove items from DOT regulations, and when doing this, sometimes they issue an interpretation providing guidance on how to interpret the item removed.\u00a0 Such is the interpretation issued dealing with the recap, which is no longer required.\u00a0 You have Troopers\/Inspectors that are working today that still remember when the recap was one of the items required to be on the Driver\u2019s Daily Log.\u00a0 So, to clear up the confusion, since that requirement is no longer found in Part 395.8(d), FMCSA issued an interpretation indicating that the recap was no longer required.\u00a0 As for a roadside inspection showing up on a driver\u2019s DAK Report, the data found on the DAK Report is data submitted by the driver\u2019s employer or former employer.\u00a0 FMCSA does not provide or share data to DAK.\u00a0 FMCSA does provide roadside inspection data to a third party vendor who prepares the driver\u2019s Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP) which can be obtained by a driver\u2019s future employer if the driver signs a release allowing them to obtain the information.\u00a0 In other words, FMCSA has nothing to do with a DAK Report.<\/p>\n~ The Ask The Law\u2122 programs are an ongoing educational effort between Ol\u2019 Blue, USA\u2122 and commercial law enforcement agencies.
