What is a daily vehicle inspection form?

A daily vehicle inspection form (DVIR/pre-trip) is a checklist used to document a vehicle’s condition before operation, note defects, and flag items that could make the vehicle unsafe or out-of-service.

What should be included in a vehicle inspection checklist?

Common items include brakes, tires, lights, steering, fluids/leaks, mirrors, horn, windshield/wipers, safety equipment, and any defects with severity and notes.

Can I export completed inspections to CSV?
