Fleet inspection & defect tracking

DOT inspections your drivers actually finish.

DefectDash turns the pre-trip and post-trip DVIR into a two-minute phone check. Pass, fail, sign, done. Every defect lands on the vehicle's record automatically. Every compliance PDF hits your inbox the moment it's signed.

The problem with paper

A clipboard doesn't call you when a truck fails.

Missing paperwork

Pre-trip sheets that never make it back to the office, so nobody knows a defect existed until it's a breakdown on the highway.

No paper trail

When a DOT auditor asks for the last three months of DVIRs, "somewhere in that filing cabinet" isn't an answer.

Repeat defects, no memory

The same brake light fails three inspections in a row and nobody notices, because each paper sheet is its own island.

What it does

Everything a fleet needs between the driver's seat and the shop.

Compliant DVIR forms

Pre-trip and post-trip checklists built around 49 CFR §396.11. Pass-all-section shortcuts, required signature and printed name, done in a few taps.

Defects that live on the truck

Every defect follows the vehicle, not the trip. A tech opening that truck sees what's already open and confirms it's still a problem instead of re-typing it.

Compliance PDFs, sent automatically

The moment a DVIR is signed, a one-page compliance PDF lands in your inbox. Nothing to dig for when an auditor asks.

Fleet health, one screen

Fleet-ready percentage, stale defects by severity, and today's inspection completion rate. The manager's whole morning check in one glance.

Reminders that predict, not just remind

Mileage- and date-based maintenance alerts with a two-stage warning, so oil changes and DOT inspections get ahead of the truck, not behind it.

Work orders and cost tracking

Bundle open defects across multiple vehicles into one work order for the shop. Capture the invoice when it's resolved and see cost per mile.
