What is a DVIR?
What is a DVIR?
A Driver Vehicle Inspection Report (DVIR) is a standardized document that drivers complete during or after their shift to notify fleet managers about any mechanical problems, damage, or safety concerns with their assigned vehicle. When DVIRs are properly utilized, they help fleet operations identify developing maintenance issues before they escalate into major repairs or create dangerous driving situations. The most effective approach includes using a detailed checklist that walks the driver through every critical system and component of the vehicle.

What components should be examined during vehicle inspections?
During a comprehensive vehicle inspection, drivers need to evaluate numerous systems and components — including engine performance, brake function, tire condition, lighting systems, mirrors, fluid levels, and safety equipment. Every element contributes to overall vehicle safety and operational reliability. Prior to departing on any trip, drivers must understand exactly which components require inspection and the proper method for reporting deficiencies. Conducting meticulous inspections now prevents roadside emergencies and maintains fleet operational efficiency.
