Record · Do not diagnose by assumption

Build the equipment record before you choose the response.

Record the asset, maintenance basis, signal, qualified finding, action, outcome, cost, and downtime as separate facts. Unknown stays Unknown. A code or symptom never becomes a diagnosis because the form is complete.

Core rule

Signal → finding → action → outcome. If one step is missing, leave it missing. Do not let the next step rewrite the one before it.

Stores: Only after you choose Save on This Device.
Does not collect: VIN, plate, driver, policy, account, or contact data.
Does not decide: Roadworthiness, diagnosis, repair authorization, or provider fit.
Canonical key: Equipment Record v1 · this browser only.

Your evidence: Use an invoice, work order, inspection, written term, manufacturer source, or your clearly labeled estimate.
Your device: The working form is not submitted. Saved records stay in this browser’s local storage.
Your boundary: An existing stop-use, out-of-service, recall, or qualified repair instruction is never overridden here.

A saved Equipment Record is available on this device.

Resume it without changing the stored facts, or build a new working record.

Equipment record

Record only what the current evidence supports.

The record needs attention before it can be built.

01Record scopeAsset + current job›

Start with one asset and one current record. A tractor and trailer are separate assets even when they work together.

What job are you recording?· required

Maintenance baselineSchedule source, service history, records, and next known due point. Warning, code, or symptomWhat appeared, when it appeared, and what remains unconfirmed. Inspection or qualified findingThe source, written evidence, recommended action, and unresolved questions. Repair or repeat-problem follow-upWhat was done, the outcome, cost, downtime, and warranty record.

Record reviewed as of· requiredUse the date these facts were last checked—not the date you hope to act.

Asset type· required

Current operating state· required

Existing instruction not to operate?· requiredThis asks about an instruction already given. HSHQ does not decide whether the equipment is safe to operate.

Existing stop instruction controls

This record cannot clear the equipment for service. Follow the responsible technician, inspector, manufacturer, recall, roadside authority, or other source that issued the instruction.

02Asset factsIdentity without sensitive identifiers›

Year, make, model, and meter reading help anchor maintenance and repair evidence. Do not enter a VIN, plate, account number, or driver information.

Model year

Make and model

Current meter reading

Meter unit

Meter evidence

03Maintenance baselineSource + service record›

HSHQ does not invent one universal maintenance interval. Record the schedule source you actually use and the service evidence you can produce.

Maintenance schedule basis· required

Maintenance records available· required

Last relevant service date

Meter reading at last service

Next due date from your schedule

Next due meter from your schedule

Status against that schedule· requiredThis is your declaration from the schedule you identified. HSHQ does not supply a default interval.

06Documented operating consequenceCost + downtime without invention›

Record an actual invoice, written estimate, or clearly labeled estimate. Downtime is time—not automatically lost revenue. Page 2 does not calculate repair-vs-replace.

Decision boundary

This record does not diagnose the equipment, clear it for service, establish regulatory compliance, calculate repair-vs-replace, or recommend a provider.

Clear only the saved Equipment Record? Finance, Insurance, Fuel, Compliance, and unrelated browser storage will not be changed.
