Add a Vehicle or Trailer DVIR

When drivers submit Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports (DVIRs) using the Samsara Driver App, you can view the submitted reports directly in the Samsara dashboard. You can also add a vehicle or trailer DVIR in the Samsara dashboard to manage the DVIRs across the vehicles in your fleet.

To add a vehicle or trailer DVIR:

1. From the Samsara dashboard, select Maintenance () then select DVIR.

2. Select DVIRs.

3. Select + Add Vehicle DVIR or + Add Trailer DVIR.

4. Enter the Vehicle Name.

5. (Optional) Provide the Trailer Name, Address, License Plate, Odometer, and Mechanic Notes.

   Mechanics can use Mechanic Notes to include details on a specific defect or list what they did to fix a defect.

6. Within Safety, select the vehicle or trailer DVIR results (safe or unsafe to drive).

7. Select Save.

Note

• Keep DVIR data for at least as long as I'm a customer (default)

• Delete DVIR data prior to 3 months (92 days) from today

• Delete DVIR data prior to 6 months (184 days) from today
