The DOT requires every commercial motor vehicle driver to complete a Driver Vehicle Inspection Report before and after every trip. The report must document the condition of brakes, lights, tires, steering, and other safety-critical systems. Fleets that fail to maintain complete DVIR records face fines per violation, and a pattern of missing reports can trigger a full DOT compliance review. BusFleetAI monitors your fleet platform and sends an alert the moment a DVIR is not filed on schedule — giving you time to address it before it becomes a compliance record.
