Vehicle pre-trip inspection (US)

Covers what a driver checks before heading out: documents on board, a walk around the vehicle, and a quick check in the cab. Try the preview.

How teams use it

  • Stick a QR code on the dash — the driver scans it before leaving the yard.
  • A reported leak or defect asks for a photo before the inspection can be submitted.
  • Every inspection is logged with the date, time and driver.
  • Edit it to match your own fleet and vehicle types.

A general pre-trip walk-around for a work vehicle. It doesn't replace a formal DOT inspection or your carrier's own safety program.
