Verify driver credentials including license and medical card, confirm DOT and IFTA documentation, and record asset details like vehicle type, asset and DOT numbers, and annual inspection dates. Inspect exterior and interior components such as lights, mirrors, wipers, tires and tread depth, suspensions, mud flaps, reflective tape, hood and brake components, and frame. Include trailer-specific checks for lights, tires, airlines, brakes, suspension, dolly legs, plates, and reflective tape. Ensure required in-cab items are present and serviceable including insurance, registration, ELD cards and instructions, DVIR log, fire extinguisher, triangles, reflectors, spill kit, and horns.

It covers approach and vehicle condition, exterior light checks, windshield condition, and engine compartment fluids and components.

It confirms emergency equipment including triangles, fire extinguisher, spill kit, and seat belts. Interior checks include horn, wipers, defroster, gauges, and an air brake test. It reinforces three points of contact, DVIR completion, and operational steps using Samsara and GreenMile for pre- and post-trip workflows.
