(1) The name of the inspector.

(2) The date and time the inspection took place.

(3) The result of the daily roadability inspection indicated by the term "pass" or "fail," as appropriate.

(4) The following statement inserted directly below the term "pass" or "fail:" "On the date noted, this intermodal chassis was inspected pursuant to the requirements of California Vehicle Code Section 34505.9, and found to be (defective) or (in compliance). (The following defects) or (No defects) were observed:"

(5) Additional information is permitted, provided it does not render the required information illegible.

The tag may be removed upon release of the chassis from the ocean marine terminal.
