IANA DVIR Service Overview
II. DVIR Web Service
The IANA DVIR Web Service is a computer to computer interface that enables communication with IANA databases. This service provides the recipient with critical information components necessary to create a DVIR.
In order to provide DVIR reporting flexibility, as well as integration with existing maintenance and repair systems, a market has developed for third-party facilitators/reporting systems and information aggregators to enable regulatory compliance. Likewise, proprietary IEP and motor carrier systems may develop to process DVIRs.
As a result, IANA has developed a DVIR web service (web application programming interface—API) to enable the intermodal industry to broadly interface with IANA databases in order to ease regulatory reporting.
Description of Web Services
The IANA DVIR Web Service combines data from IANA’s Uniform Intermodal Interchange Agreement (UIIA), Intermodal Driver Database (IDD) and Global Intermodal Equipment Registry (GIER) databases to provide data for the following critical DVIR data fields:
- Motor Carrier DOT Number
- Equipment IEP DOT Number
- Confirmation of an electronic driver signature
For each transaction, the user provides IANA the following information via the IANA DVIR Web Service:
- Equipment identification number (alpha numeric)
- Driver’s IANA universal Personal Identification Number (PIN)
Or
- Equipment identification number (alpha numeric)
- Motor Carrier SCAC Code (Motor Carrier Employer Identification Number (EIN), if no SCAC exists)
- Driver’s License Number (If no IANA PIN exists)
- Driver’s License Issuing State (If no IANA PIN exists)
Upon initiation of the API transaction, IANA returns the following information via IANA’s DVIR Web Service:
- Motor Carrier SCAC
- Motor Carrier Name
- Motor Carrier DOT Number
- Motor Carrier EIN
- Driver First Name
- Driver Last Name
- Driver IDD PIN
- Equipment IEP Company Name
- Equipment IEP DOT Number
- Equipment IEP SCAC
