Daily vehicle inspection checklist

Every company truck, van and car should get a walk-around before it leaves the yard. Most don't, because the checklist is in a binder in the office. Here it is, in both languages, ready to print or send to the driver's phone.

In short: A daily vehicle inspection is a short walk-around before driving: tires, lights, mirrors, fluids, brakes, load, and safety equipment. Anything wrong gets written down and reported, and the vehicle doesn't move if it's brakes, tires, lights or steering. The checklist below is bilingual and printable.

Editable line by line. Open the checklist on its own page to print it.

Why daily

A tire that's low today is a blowout on the highway next week. A brake light out is a rear-end collision you'll be blamed for. The walk-around takes three minutes and catches almost all of it.

Who does it

Whoever's driving. That's the point: the person responsible for the vehicle that day checks it that day. If your drivers rotate, every driver has the checklist, not just the regular one.

Fleet, not just auto shops

Landscaping trucks, cleaning vans, HVAC service vehicles, delivery cars. Anything with your name on the side is a vehicle inspection away from a problem. This checklist is the same for all of them.

In the language the driver reads

A checklist the driver can't fully read is a checklist that gets skipped. English and Spanish side by side, and deliverable in whatever else your drivers read.

How it works

Talk it in. Walk through the job out loud, in whatever language you think in.
Get a clear routine. Tiendo structures it into steps, safety notes and checkpoints, then translates it into your team's language — numbers and times kept exact.
Your team reads and confirms. Post a QR code or hand a new hire one link. They read it on their phone and tap "read and understood."

Questions operators ask

What should be on a daily vehicle inspection checklist?

Walk-around for damage and leaks, tires, all lights, mirrors and wipers, fluids, brakes and horn, load secured, seatbelts, documents, and safety equipment. Anything wrong is written down and reported.

Is a daily vehicle inspection required?

Requirements depend on the vehicle type, use and state — commercial vehicles have specific rules. A daily walk-around is good practice for any company vehicle regardless.

What if the driver finds a problem?

Write it down and report it. If it's brakes, tires, lights or steering, the vehicle doesn't go out until it's fixed.

Can drivers get this checklist on their phone?

Yes — Tiendo delivers it in the driver's language with a confirmation that they completed it, which is a better record than a paper form in the cab.

Every truck, every morning.
