DVIR Policy
If you are driving a fleet company commercial truck, you are mandated by law and company policy to fill in a daily formal driver safety Vehicle inspection report to ensure that the vehicle is safe to be on the road.
To ensure that your vehicle is in appropriate condition, it is important to conduct both a pre-trip and post-trip inspections.
And this not only helps you to keep track of defects or problems, but it also strengthens the commercial fleet company when it comes to the DOT law.
The procedure are as follows:
Step 1 – Inspect the vehicles
A vehicle driver has to conduct a pre-trip inspection, and that’s before you’ll hit the road. The inspection includes assessing any defects and adequately examining how the vehicle’s functions.
A post-trip inspection then carried over into the next day.
Step 2 – Report Defects
If any vehicle faults which would prevent it from having safe operation discovered, they should be reported.
Step 3 – Sign The Report
When the Vehicle inspection reports completed, it should be signed by the vehicle driver and forwarded to the fleet manager.
Step 4 – Certify Repairs
The fleet company has to have any repairs done soon before the vehicle could be used. And the repairs must be certified once repairs are done.
