Is this the federal DVIR my drivers must complete?

No, and it does not claim to be. It reproduces no federal or state form and presents no checklist as mandatory. It is a record in the familiar shape, with the items you type. What you must inspect, record, sign and keep is set by the rules you operate under — read them, and use this to write down what was actually done.

Why is there no CDL number or medical certificate field?

Because a walk-around record does not need them, and driver credential and medical data has no business accumulating in a browser tool. The driver is recorded by name; the rest belongs in your own driver file.

Does it decide whether a defect puts the vehicle out of service?

No. It makes no severity, out-of-service, roadworthiness or safety determination of any kind. Those judgements belong to the driver, the mechanic and the rules you operate under.

Does it generate the driver's certification?

No. It generates no certification, signature or attestation on anybody's behalf. Nothing is signed for anybody here.

How is the vehicle identified?

By your own fleet label — “Van 4”, or whatever you call it on the yard. There is no VIN or registration plate field.

Driver vehicle inspection record

Field record

The walk-around, written down: the vehicle, the day, and what the driver found.

The ordinary DVIR shape, and an honest label

Vehicle, date, pre-trip or post-trip, driver, odometer as read, and the defects found with what was done about each. That is the shape people know, and it is a useful shape.

What this will not do is claim the printed sheet is the report your rules require. It reproduces no federal or state form, presents no checklist as mandatory, and generates no certification, signature or attestation on anybody’s behalf. The items you inspect are the ones you type, because what you must inspect is set by the rules you operate under and not by a website.

No driver identity data

There is no CDL or license number field and no medical certificate field, and there will not be. The driver is recorded by name because the record is of a person’s walk-around; everything else about them belongs in your own driver file, not in a browser tool.

The vehicle is identified by your own fleet label — “Van 4”. There is no VIN and no plate field either.

It grades nothing

No determination that a defect is minor or serious, that a vehicle is out of service, safe, unsafe or roadworthy, and no conclusion that any inspection obligation has been met. Those judgements belong to the driver, the mechanic and the rules you operate under.

The rest of the fleet record: Fleet maintenance schedule · Vehicle mileage & fuel log · Maintenance request log

A driver's walk-around record in the ordinary DVIR shape, kept on your device. THE SHEET IT PRODUCES IS NOT THE FEDERAL REPORT AND DOES NOT CLAIM TO BE: it reproduces no federal or state form, presents no checklist as mandatory and generates no certification, signature or attestation. It records no license, CDL or medical certificate data and has no field for any, and no VIN or plate. It makes no determination that a defect is minor or serious, that a vehicle is out of service, safe, unsafe or roadworthy, or that any inspection obligation has been met. Everything runs on your device.
