VMRS Code
Instructor: Stephen Wright DPI Technical Consultant

3. What is the VMRS code?
Since 1970,  the purpose of VMRS has been to provide a vital communication link between maintenance personnel, computers, and management.  It establishes a “universal” language for fleets, original equipment manufacturers’ (OEMs), industry suppliers, computers, and those people whose responsibility it is to specify, purchase, operate, and maintain equipment.
Developed by and for equipment users under the auspices of American Trucking Associations, VMRS provides the discipline necessary for different industry segments to communicate with each other.  VMRS is the shorthand of maintenance reporting, eliminating the need for extensive written communications with all the inherent problems of miscommunication normally associated with the written word.
