Fleet inspection and defect tracking

DOT inspections your drivers actually finish.

Every other fleet site asks you to book a demo. Run one instead. That checklist is the real one. Fail an item, sign it, and watch the record, the dashboard and the alert build themselves.

The problem with paper

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

Missing paperwork

Sheets that never reach the office. Nobody knows the defect existed until it is a breakdown on the highway.

No paper trail

An auditor asks for three months of DVIRs. "Somewhere in that filing cabinet" is not an answer.

Repeat defects, no memory

The same brake light fails three times running. Every paper sheet is its own island.

However your crew works

One system, two ways in.

A technician signs in with your company code and inspects. In the iOS app, or in the browser on whatever they already have. Same account, same checklist, same records, and nobody has to use the same one as anybody else.

In the browser

Nothing to install

  • Send a link. Phone, tablet or the shop laptop
  • A new hire inspects on day one, no device to provision
  • Always the current version, because there is only one
  • The manager portal lives here too
On iPhone and iPad

The iOS app

  • On the App Store, built for standing at the truck
  • The same company code and the same sign in
  • The same checklist, item for item
  • The records land in the same place either way

Pick per person, not per company. A crew can run half on the app and half in the browser, and a manager reading the fleet that evening cannot tell which was which.

What it does

Everything between the driver's seat and the shop invoice.

Twelve things it does. Hover any one of them for the detail.

Compliant DVIR forms

Pre-trip and post-trip checklists built around 49 CFR §396.11. Pass a whole section in one tap, sign, done.

Templates for what you run

Eleven body types with their own items. A bucket truck gets pivot pins, rotation bearing bolts and the torsion system.

Defects that live on the truck

A defect follows the vehicle, not the trip. The next technician sees what is already open and confirms it instead of retyping it.

Compliance PDFs, generated

Signing renders a one-page record on the server, files it against the vehicle and emails it to the office.

Alerts that land on the defect

A major defect emails the managers who asked to hear about it, and the link opens that exact defect.

Fleet health in one screen

Fleet-ready percentage, stale defects by severity, today's completion rate and what is overdue.

Reminders that fire early

Mileage or date based, flagged 14 days out or 200 miles before the interval closes, whichever comes first.

Work orders and invoices

Bundle open defects across vehicles into one work order, then capture the invoice and see what each defect cost.

Trends that name the repeat offender

Which item fails most, which defects keep coming back on the same vehicle, and how the open ones are aging.

Incident reports

The written account and the photos go on the vehicle's record the same day, not on a form somebody means to fill in later.

Roles, not one shared password

Give a lead technician work orders without giving them settings. Every action checks permission on the server.

A weekly digest

What got inspected, what failed, what is still open. At the hour you pick, to the people you pick.

Pricing

One flat price, set by how many trucks you run.

No feature tiers, no per-seat charge, no per-vehicle charge, no setup fee. You will not find out later that alerts or work orders cost extra.

The day it matters

An auditor asks for three months of DVIRs.

This is what the whole system is for. Not the dashboard. Whether the records exist, whether they are signed, and whether you can produce them while somebody is standing there.

01

Every inspection is a record

Vehicle, odometer, every item and its result, the defects with their severity, the signature and printed name. Written once, and it does not change afterwards.

02

The PDF is generated, not assembled later

Rendered when the inspection is signed and stored against the vehicle. You are not reconstructing anything months afterwards and hoping it matches.

03

Pull the range and hand it over

Filter by vehicle and date, export, done. Photos and PDFs purge automatically on the retention schedule you set.

DefectDash keeps the records the regulation asks for. It does not make you compliant on its own, and nothing here is legal advice. See the terms for what we do and do not warrant.
