Who is responsible for monthly vehicle inspections?

• A. The DOC Commissioner.
• B. Immediate supervisors.
• C. Vehicle maintenance staff.
• D. Authorized drivers.

Answer: (B)

Accountability for formal monthly vehicle inspections rests with immediate supervisors. This role provides the supervisory oversight, documentation, and sign-off needed to ensure each vehicle is checked on a monthly basis and that any safety or maintenance issues are promptly addressed. Drivers handle daily pre-trip checks and report problems, but the monthly inspection is about ensuring the process is completed consistently and recorded properly. Vehicle maintenance staff take care of repairs and routine servicing, while the Commissioner holds a leadership role rather than being involved in the routine inspection process. The supervisor’s coordination keeps safety standards and compliance intact across the fleet.
