A consistent pre-trip inspection is the cheapest safety and maintenance tool you have. Use this checklist as-is, or automate it entirely with Fleet.

Daily pre-trip inspection checklist

  • Tyres — pressure, tread depth, visible damage
  • Lights — headlights, brake lights, indicators, hazards
  • Brakes — feel, warning lights, parking brake
  • Fluids — oil, coolant, washer fluid levels
  • Mirrors & glass — clean, intact, properly adjusted
  • Horn & wipers — working correctly
  • Seatbelts — functional and undamaged
  • Load/security — cargo secured, doors latched
  • Leaks — check under the vehicle
  • Warning lights — any dashboard alerts

From checklist to automatic workflow
