Everything you need to manage pre-trip inspections, DVIR compliance, and maintenance scheduling for your US fleet
Enforce strict accountability with mandatory photo captures, precise GPS location tracking, and unalterable timestamped workflows. Prevent drivers from bypassing safety checks and protect your fleet from nuclear verdicts caused by missing or falsified paper logs.
Unlike legacy systems like Samsara or Motive, our platform requires absolutely no expensive proprietary hardware or ELD bundles. Drivers use their own smartphones or tablets (Bring Your Own Device) to complete 100% compliant eDVIRs, drastically reducing your Total Cost of Ownership.
Fully automate FMCSA Rule 396.11 compliance. Defect reported by driver (Signature 1), certified repaired by mechanic (Signature 2), and verified by next driver (Signature 3). Ensure instant audit readiness for rigorous DOT Compliance Reviews without chasing paper.
Never miss a mandatory 90-day inspection. Automated scheduling and predictive alerts specifically configured for the latest California Highway Patrol requirements, ensuring all vehicles over 26,001 lbs remain compliant and avoiding terminal audit failures.
From mobile checks to maintenance follow-ups, keep every DVIR compliant and audit-ready.
Drivers complete pre-trip and post-trip inspections on any device. Forced photo evidence, timestamping, and GPS geofencing completely eliminate the practice of pencil whipping, ensuring actual physical inspections take place before dispatch.
Defects automatically log into DOT-ready eDVIRs. Our cloud architecture ensures strict compliance with the 49 CFR 396.11 3-month retention rule, securely archiving all reports and instantly retrieving them during compliance reviews or terminal audits.
Turn issues into work orders, assign to maintenance, and schedule service—full visibility from inspection to resolution.
See compliance, turnaround times, and recurring defects in one dashboard to keep assets safe and audit-ready.
Calculate the true financial impact and hidden administrative costs of maintaining paper DVIRs versus digitizing your fleet inspection process.
*Calculation based on eliminating 0.25 hours of administrative processing and filing time per vehicle per week, plus eliminating the physical cost of paper logbooks, printing, and mandatory 90-day storage.
Same FMCSA-compliant eDVIR engine and transparent per-asset pricing — whether you run a single truck or hundreds. Grow without switching vendors or adding proprietary hardware.

Answers to the most common questions about our DOT-ready DVIR and inspection platform.
Yes. Effective March 23, 2026, the FMCSA Final Rule (Docket FMCSA-2025-0115) explicitly authorizes electronic Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports (eDVIR). Digital signatures from drivers and mechanics are legally binding under federal E-SIGN laws, completely replacing paper logs and closing the mandatory three-signature cycle requirement.
Under Assembly Bill 3278, commercial vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) under 26,001 pounds are now exempt from the 90-day California BIT inspection. However, vehicles weighing 26,001 lbs or more, Hazmat vehicles, and passenger buses must strictly maintain the 90-day inspection cycle.
Advanced eDVIR software prevents pencil whipping by requiring real-time photo evidence, capturing precise GPS coordinates, and logging exact timestamps during the walk-around inspection process. This digital oversight makes it impossible for drivers to falsify safety checks or complete a mandatory 45-minute commercial vehicle inspection in 60 seconds.
The FMCSA 396.11 three-signature cycle is a strict regulatory requirement for defect resolution. A safety defect must be documented by the discovering driver (Signature 1), certified as repaired by a qualified mechanic (Signature 2), and verified as safe to operate by the next reviewing driver (Signature 3).
