Vehicle Maintenance and DVIR
Your daily vehicle inspection report (DVIR) is the first line of defense against mechanical failures, driver safety issues, and regulatory violations. Every driver must inspect their truck before and after each shift, and you must keep those records.
But a DVIR is more than a compliance checkbox. It’s a liability shield — when something goes wrong, a complete inspection record shows you were diligent. It’s also an early-warning system for repairs you can schedule before they become catastrophic failures on the road.
For the full guide on what makes a DVIR effective, what to document, and how to organize your records so they actually protect you, see our dedicated article below.
