About This DocumentThis user manual provides information about the Driver/Vehicle Inspection Report (DVIR) feature that is available on the waySmart™ 820 and 850 platform. The Driver/Vehicle Inspection Report feature allows drivers to complete and submit Pre-Trip and Post-Trip in-spection forms electronically through the Touchscreen driver interface.


DVIR Forms - Feature Overview Many of our customers require that drivers complete a Pre-Trip and Post-Trip inspection form, prior to, and immedi-ately following a trip. The pre/post-trip inspection form, in many cases, is required by law and is intended to ensure the vehicle is safe to operate. In the past, drivers have had to manually complete these pre-trip and post-trip inspec-tions reports, using paper checklists or forms that they are required to retain for record keeping.

inthinc has integrated electronic driver vehicle inspection reports (DVIR) with its waySmart™ fleet management solution, providing commercial fleet managers and drivers with one source from which to manage vehicle operations. Developed in accordance with U.S. and Canadian federal safety rules and regulations for commercial carriers, the inthinc DVIR simplifies pre-trip and post-trip inspections while also flagging vehicles in need of maintenance.

How it Works

Administrators will have access to a “Forms” application on the my.inthinc.com web portal, which they will use to create the pre-trip and post-trip inspections forms. A single form may consist of many questions, in various formats, to collect the data required. Inspec-tion forms can be designed to be simple, or very complex, depending on the data that needs to be collected to meet the organizational needs. The Form application user interface within the my.inthinc.com web portal is designed to be intuitive and easy to use.

After a pre-trip or post-trip inspection form has been created (my.inthinc.com web portal), the forms can be “published” to any number of vehicles in the fleet. Once a form has been published, the form will be stored locally on the Touchscreen driver interface in the ve-hicle.

When drivers login to the waySmart system, using the Touchscreen interface, they will be prompted to select whether a Pre-Trip inspec-tion is required. If the answer is “yes”, the Pre-Trip inspection form will launch and display on-screen. Drivers will be required to com-plete and submit the inspection form. The same would be true if the driver is required to complete a Post-Trip inspection form. During the logout process, if a Post-Trip inspection is selected, the Post-Trip inspection form will launch and require driver input and submis-sion.

After the driver has completed and submitted the form, the form (with driver submissions) will be transmitted to the inthinc web portal over cellular (GPRS) communication. All form submissions will be available for administrator review at the my.inthinc.com web portal. Administrators can review, edit, approve, and generate reports for all Pre-Trip and Post-Trip form submissions.

Creating Accountability

New “Notifications” and “Violations” have been implemented to support the DVIR forms feature. Notifications and Violations are sent to the my.inthinc.com web portal when certain criteria are met. For instance, a notification will be sent to the portal each time a driver completes (or does not complete) an inspection report. A violation will be sent to the my.inthinc.com web portal when a vehicle is driven without an inspection being completed. Administrators can create “Red Flag Alerts” for each of the new notifications and viola-tions that are available. For a complete list of Notifications and Violations, see page 29.

Administrators can create and configure Red Flag alerts to receive an immediate notification by phone, email, or text message, anytime specific DVIR notifications or violations are sent to the my.inthinc.com web portal.

DVIR Key Features Include:

Ensure Federal Compliance - The DVIR is developed in accordance to U.S. and Canadian federal laws related to commercial vehicles. With representation on the American Trucking Association’s (ATA) Technology Maintenance Council, and as members of the Commer-cial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA), inthinc understands how safety inspection reports need to be developed to meet federal and state regulations.

Automatic Alerts to Drivers - Drivers receive automatic in-cab verbal alerts reminding them to complete a safety inspection before and after every trip. Instant notification is sent to fleet managers via text, phone, or email and recorded in the inthinc.com portal when a driver has failed to complete an inspection.

Electronic Safety Inspection Reports - With automated electronic inspection reports, fleet managers can reduce the inaccuracies and administrative overhead associated with paper logs. Pre and Post-Trip inspections are completed directly on the waySmart Touchscreen and sent directly to fleet managers via cellular com-munication.

Create Customized Inspection Lists - Through the inthinc.com portal, fleet managers have the power to create unlimited and fully customized inspection lists based on different vehicle types and duties.


Manage (DVIR) Inspection FormsAs mentioned earlier, Administrators will have access to a “Forms” application on the my.inthinc.com web portal, which they will use to manage forms. Not all customers will have access to the DVIR feature or Forms interface by default, the account must be configured to allow access to the DVIR Forms feature. For more information on the availability of this feature, contact your inthinc™ Sales or Account Management representative.

Published (DVIR) Inspection FormsThe Manage sub-tab will display all forms that have been created, but have not necessarily been “published” to any vehicles. Whereas, the Published sub-tab will display a list of all forms that have been published to any number of vehicles in the fleet. Forms must be pub-lished before drivers can interact with the form on the Touchscreen interface.

When Forms are published, the form is transmitted to the Touchscreen interface via cellular (GPRS) communication and the form will be stored locally on the device. If cellular communication is not available, published forms and all form submissions will be held in queue until communication is available.

When publishing forms, the version number indicated for each form is critical for understanding when a form has been edited and which version of the form is currently published. Each time a form is edited and subsequently published, the version number will incre-ment by one.

This section will provide information on how drivers will interact with Forms on the Touchscreen interface, how to view form submis-sions, edit form submissions, and approve form submissions from drivers.

Driver Interaction with (DVIR) FormsThis section will provide an overview of how drivers will interact with DVIR Inspection Forms. The waySmart system will automatically launch Pre-Trip or Post-Trip inspection forms, when applicable, as long as the form has been published to the vehicle. For more informa-tion about publishing, see Publish a DVIR Inspection Form on page 19.

Drivers will be held accountable for completing Pre-Trip and Post-Trip inspections forms when prompted by the waySmart system. If a Pre-Trip or Post-Trip inspection is not required, drivers can decline the inspection.

Notifications will be sent to the inthinc portal each time an inspection is completed or not completed. Failure to complete an inspec-tion form, or driving a vehicle that has not been inspected or marked as “unsafe” to operate, may result in a Violation being sent to the inthinc portal. For more information on when Notification and Violation occur, see the DVIR Specific Use Cases section on page 35.

Example - Driver login w/ Inspection FormThe following screenshots are representative of what a driver would see when logging in to the waySmart system and electing to com-plete a Pre-Trip Inspection.

Upon logging in, drivers will be prompted to enter their Driver ID.

If the previous driver did not complete a Post-Trip inspec-tion (as required), the new driver will be prompted to select whether or not they wish to complete the Post-Trip inspection now.

If Yes is selected, the Post-Trip inspection form will launch and the driver can complete and submit the form.

If No is selected, the next screen in the Login Wizard will display. See the next step.

Drivers will be prompted to select whether or not they need to complete a Pre-Trip inspection.

If Yes is selected, the Pre-Trip inspection form will launch and the driver can complete and submit the form. See the next steps.

If No is selected, the Pre-Trip inspection form will not be displayed and no Pre-Trip inspection will be recorded.

If applicable, the Pre-Trip inspection form will launch and the driver will be prompted to complete all required questions on the form before they are able to Submit the form.

Example of a “Numeric” type question.

Numeric questions can be configured to be within a cer-tain range of numbers, and can also be inclusive.

Example of a “Select Multiple” type question.

Select Multiple questions allow multiple boxes to be checked. This is an appropriate question format to create checklists.


Example of a “Text Entry” type question.

Text Entry questions are open entry text boxes where a driver can enter any amount of text.

Example of a “Select One” type question.

Select One questions are multiple choice, single answer questions, such as True/False or Yes/No.

After the driver has completed the Pre-Trip inspection form, the next screen will prompt drivers to indicate whether the vehicle is safe to operate.

Selecting Yes or No will record that the vehicle was either safe or not safe to operate.

Note: If the vehicle moves after being designated as not safe to operate, a Violation (Login ID moved unsafe vehicle) will be recorded in the inthinc portal.

[When applicable] If Hours of Service (HOS) is config-ured, drivers will need to specify whether they are using the vehicle for personal use.

If Yes is selected, the driver will not be required to select an HOS duty status.

If No is selected, the driver will be required to track all HOS duty changes.

[Optional] If needed, drivers can complete the informa-tion on the Load screen.

Trailer - Enter specific information for a trailer. Service Number - Enter service number information. Hazardous - Indicate if the load contains hazardous materials

After completing the required login information, the Summary screen will display. Drivers can check this infor-mation for accuracy before continuing.

DVIR Specific Use CasesThis section will outline the specific DVIR use cases, in the form of flowcharts, which will provide more information on when Notifica-tions will be sent to the inthinc portal and when Violations may occur.

Driver login - Process FlowThe Driver Login flow represents how the driver will interact with the Touchscreen unit upon initial login to the system. The Driver may be prompted to complete a Pre-Trip or Post-Trip inspection, and indicate the vehicle is safe to operate upon logging in.


Driving and logout - Process FlowOnce the driver is logged in, they can either drive or logout. The following flowchart represents the options presented to the driver when logged in to the system. Note: The driver can receive “violations” if operating an unsafe vehicle or by not completing an inspec-tion.


“Not Safe on login” Branch - Process FlowThis flow happens when the following occurs:

A new driver is logging in.•

The previous inspection, whether Pre-Trip or Post-Trip, marked the vehicle as “unsafe” to operate.•


“No Post-Trip on login” Branch - Process FlowThis flow happens when the following occurs:

A new driver is logging in.•

No Post-Trip inspection has been done since the last time the vehicle was moved.•


“No Driver logged In” - Process FlowThis flow happens when the following occurs:

A vehicle is moved, with no driver logged in.•


Driver Interaction ScenariosThe following scenario will provide a better understanding of driver interaction with DVIR Forms and when certain notifications and violations occur.

DVIR Configuration OptionsPre-Trip and Post-Trip DVIR functionality can be disabled or enabled separately, allowing for use of the features independently, if needed.

Additionally, the waySmart system may be configured to prompt drivers to select whether the trip should be treated as a DOT trip. For instance, the driver may be taking the vehicle across state lines or may have connected a trailer requiring DOT (HOS) log tracking. The DVIR feature, in that case, can be configured to display the inspection report only when the driver indicates the current trip as being a DOT trip. See below for all available configuration options.

For questions about the DVIR configuration for your fleet, contact your inthinc Account Management representative.

Pre-Trip (DVIR) Configuration Options:

DVIR Pre-Trip Enabled Pre-Trip inspections are always enabled, regardless of DOT status.

DVIR Pre-Trip Disabled Pre-Trip inspections are always disabled, regardless of DOT status.

DVIR Pre-Trip DOT Pre-Trip inspections will follow the DOT status. If a vehicle is configured to prompt for DOT, the DVIR form will display only when the driver indicates this is a DOT trip.

Post-Trip (DVIR) Configuration Options:

DVIR Post-Trip Enabled Post-Trip inspections are always enabled, regardless of DOT status.

DVIR Post-Trip Disabled Post-Trip inspections are always disabled, regardless of DOT status.
