Pre and Post-Trip Inspections

💡Check out our How-To Video:

⚠️IMPORTANT: Remember that performing Inspections is labeled as On-Duty work by the FMCSA’s ELD rules.  Make sure to select your Off Duty clock reset (either your 34 hour or 10 hour off-duty break), whatever is needed on your clock.  This warning message will be presented to you as you start your inspection.

Starting Your Inspection

1. Log into your Tablet with the assigned Username and Password
2. Select the Inspection icon location in the upper left of the screen.  You’ll then be provided the option to select either Perform Pre/Post Trip Inspection or View Past Inspections.
3. Select Perform Pre/Post Trip Inspection.  We’ll be presented with options for:
   1. Pre-Trip
   2. Post-Trip
   3. Equipment Change
   4. Trailers 1, 2, and 3
4. Select the appropriate radio button 
5. Select the blue Start Inspection button in the lower right corner.

Performing the Inspection

You’ll then be presented with a series of Inspection questions.   These are added during Truckspy’s implementation and are specific to your company.   Each question has a Thumbs-Up (meaning all is good) and a Thumbs-Down (meaning there is an issue with that particular item).

Selecting Thumbs-Down on an item automatically activates a Note field with a keypad and a camera icon. 

1. You can use the keyboard to enter why the item failed the inspection.   
2. Select the camera icon to activate.
3. Select the camera icon to take the picture.  The picture gets automatically attached to that inspection item.

Finishing the last inspection item then takes you to a screen for your sign-off if the vehicle is safe to operate.   Select the blue Next button in the upper right corner to finish the inspection.

⚠️IMPORTANT: You should notify your Fleet Manager or designated point of contact if you determine the truck is unsafe.
