Why Inspections Matter

Daily vehicle inspections help identify mechanical issues before they become dangerous on the road or jobsite. Regular checks promote safe operation, extend equipment life, and ensure compliance with legal and company requirements.

• Ensure lights, turn signals, and reflectors are functioning.
• Inspect mirrors, windshields, and wipers.
• Look for fluid leaks under the vehicle.
• Verify secure load, doors, and latches if applicable.

Interior Inspection Checklist

• Confirm brakes, horn, seat belts, and steering are in good condition.
• Check gauges and dashboard warning lights.
• Ensure fire extinguisher and first aid kits are present (if required).
• Verify clear visibility and mirror adjustments.

Reporting and Documentation

• Use company-approved inspection forms or digital checklists.
• Report any issues immediately to supervisors or mechanics.
• Do not operate the vehicle if a safety concern is identified.
• Keep records of completed inspections as per policy.
