A Daily Vehicle Inspection Report (DVIR) is a federally required inspection record that drivers complete to document the condition of their vehicle. It's required by FMCSA under 49 CFR Part 396.11 and 396.13.
Truck Genie's digital DVIR replaces paper inspection forms with a mobile app that drivers can complete in under a minute.
Drivers log in with their personal credentials. The app is available on both iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play).
The driver selects which truck they're inspecting from their assigned units.
The app guides the driver through each inspection point: brakes, steering, lighting, tires, horn, windshield wipers, coupling devices, emergency equipment, and any company-specific items. For each item, the driver marks it as satisfactory or reports a defect.
If a defect is found, the driver describes it. The defect is immediately flagged and visible to fleet managers and mechanics — no waiting for someone to read a piece of paper.
The driver signs digitally and submits the report. It's timestamped, stored, and immediately available in the Truck Genie dashboard.
All submitted DVIRs appear in your dashboard. You can filter by unit, date range, or defect status. When a defect is reported, you'll see it flagged immediately — allowing you to route it to a mechanic or create a work order before the problem escalates.
