Inspections

Run pre-trip, post-trip, and DOT inspections with custom templates and automatic work order generation.

Overview

BayTrack inspections help you maintain compliance and catch issues before they become problems. Create custom inspection templates, run inspections on any asset, and automatically generate work orders for failed items.

  • DVIR — Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports for pre-trip and post-trip
  • DOT inspections — Annual and periodic compliance inspections
  • Custom inspections — Any recurring checklist you need
