Did you know?

Did you know that as an Owner Operator, filling out a maintenance report each month is not only MK’s policy but a requirement by the DOT as well?

As per the DOT and MK’s policy, Owner Operators and Lease Purchase Drivers must fill out a detailed monthly maintenance report. The requirement to fill out a maintenance report each month is a measure put in place to encourage truck owners to keep their trucks in top-notch condition. Here are a few benefits of filling out the monthly maintenance report:

  • Ensures your truck is running efficiently and safely
  • Helps to identify any potential safety issues before they become major problems.
  • Can be used as a record of maintenance history
  • Helps to ensure compliance with DOT regulations and avoid fines or other penalties.

There are two ways to fill out the report:

  1. You can manually fill out the report and then use Mobile Capture to scan and send it to us
  2. Or you can use the drop form link below and fill out the report electronically. Drop Form Link

Overall, keeping detailed records of your vehicle’s maintenance and repairs is an important part of being a responsible owner operator or lease purchase driver. By taking the time to fill out the maintenance report each month, you can ensure that your truck is safe and compliant with DOT regulations.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Amy or Marla.
