I am a regular weekend soldier in the national guard. I'm newly promoted to my E-5 slot as "Detachment motor sergeant." I have an NCOIC but he drills separately from me. When it comes to PMCS everything seems dysfunctional. I would like to think someone belongs to each truck. To simplify, I would like to sign out the truck to that individual, rather than having to find people to PMCS a truck. Therefore, that person would be responsible for their PMCS portion. If someone does belong to certain trucks, how would I find this list?

The people that need to PMCS those vehicles are the Soldiers that are in the unit those vehicles are assigned to. The unit should, and that word is subjective, have assigned drivers to those vehicles. And that is who should be doing the PMCS during Battle Assembly. Reach out to the 1SG for the vehicles in question and request a list of assigned drivers.

SGT (Join to see), this problem is pretty rampant in Compo II & III. Motor Sergeants come and go and it is tough to keep up on vehicle assignments and Soldiers route and get promoted. This is the same issue with weapons if there is no Armorer/ Supply Sergeant accountability.
The first step is to sit down with the 1SG and highlight the problem and go over the TOE/TDA (FMSWEB). The positions that are slotted as drivers and gunners are identified on the table.
The issue is that if the unit is managing its manning roster, there will be Soldiers assigned to those positions who are not licensed. It is up to the 1SG (or DET NCOIC) to ensure that the right people are in the right slot.
Once this is done, you can begin operators' training to get them licensed (GCSS-A). Once they are complete, they are responsible for the maintenance and operability of that vehicle.
The key is to streamline operator's training (keeping it within regulations), so that you have training going on every BA (rain or shine) in order to keep up.

CSM William Everroad Great guidance, step by step, on how to get the issue under control and provide a platform for future management.

SP5 (Join to see) I apologize, I tagged the wrong Soldier :)
Further clarification, depending on how your specific TOE is formatted you may see that a given vehicle is assigned to a section that says:
Supply Section
1ea 92Y2O
4ea 92Y1O
1ea 92Y1O remark: D (or whatever code denotes driver, you will find the list at the end)
1ea 92Y1O remark: G (or whatever code denotes gunner)
1ea M1123
That will tell you one of the E4 or below 92Y is a driver, but not necessarily which one.
In combat arms, it is a tad easier because we can do it by process of elimination because we have slots denoted for Automatic Rifle, Grenadier, and Breacher, so that leaves about 1 or 2 Soldiers to choose from for gunner and driver.
In your unit, you may have to get with the section NCO to identify who is in the slot for driver if the TOE doesn't reference a POSN number that corresponds to a name on the UMR.

SGT (Join to see) The driver! Our Motor Warrant just loved to have me do minor service on “my” 151 Jeep if I hadn’t’ been using a driver!

Rgr CSM, but I do not know who drives what vehicle. As little as we see eachother, I do not know who drives what.

SGT (Join to see) - That should be a 1st Sgt. question. Every unit I served in ,either Active or Guard, had an assigned driver to every vehicle. If your unit doesn't, I would set to with the 1st. Sgt. and suggest that you start a roster.
