Fleet Inspections & Compliance — Audit-Ready, Always
DOT inspections, DVIRs, pre-trip checks, and safety audits — documented with photos and video in TruView. Stop scrambling before audits. Be ready year-round.

What First-Month Inspections Reveal
First-month inspections for a 40 trucks last-mile delivery fleet flagged 6 vehicles with brake wear and 3 with unsafe tire tread — 9 vehicles total with critical safety issues found before they became roadside failures.
9 vehicles
6 with brake wear, 3 with unsafe tires — found in first month
Started with managed maintenance bundle covering oil, inspections, and tire service for all 40 trucks. Within 60 days, added brakes and corrective repairs. Slick deployed tech and service van to the ISP terminal after hours. First month: every vehicle got a full multi-point inspection with photos and video in TruView.
