Reports: Creating
DVIRs
Performing DVIRs
RoadLog allows you to create the legally required Driver
Vehicle Inspection Reports (DVIR) for the following vehicle
assets:
• Tractor inspection
• Trailer inspection
Pre-trip and post-trip inspections can be performed. You
can also view the recorded inspection reports.
RoadLog automatically prompts the Driver to perform a pre-
trip inspection in the following circumstances:
• A Driver logs in
• A logged-in user changes duty status to Driver
• A trailer is attached to the vehicle
The Confirm DVIR Data screen will appear
automatically whenever any of the three actions above
occurs.
Pre-trip Inspection
You are required to check the safety of the vehicle before
driving and to check whether any defects recorded during
the previous post-trip inspection have been fixed. You must
then record the results of your inspction in a Pre-trip DVIR.
Creating a Pre-trip DVIR
When the Driver logs in and selects the Driving status,
RoadLog prompts the user to perform a pre-trip DVIR for
the vehicle and current trailer(s). At the start of the pre-trip
DVIR, RoadLog displays the Confirm DVIR Data screen.
