A DVIR your drivers can finish at the end of the day in two minutes

Post-Trip DVIR (US)
The post-trip report covers the parts and accessories listed in 49 CFR 396.11. A written report is required when a defect is found or reported, and you keep it for three months. With no defect the report is done when the driver submits. Mark a part as a defect in the preview to see what happens next: the repair certification goes to your shop, then the next driver who scans the vehicle reviews and signs it.
How teams use it
- Print it and keep a pad in each cab
- One form for the whole fleet: each vehicle's QR code fills in its unit number
- Defect photos make the shop's job faster
- See who reported what, and when, for the 3-month retention period
Based on 49 CFR 396.11 and 396.13. Since March 23, 2026, DVIRs may be created and kept electronically under 49 CFR 390.32. 396.11 does not apply to carriers operating only one commercial motor vehicle. This form helps you keep records; it is not legal advice.
