DVIR: A driver vehicle inspection report (DVIR) is a written record where a driver documents the condition of the truck and trailer and any defects found during inspection.
Why it matters to owner operators
Daily inspections catch problems before they cause breakdowns or violations. Keep your records and fix defects promptly.
Example
A driver notes a worn tire on the DVIR and has it replaced before the next trip.
