<\/h4>\n<\/h4>\nDrivers can only complete daily vehicle inspection forms as quickly as they can assess vehicles and write. If a maintenance issue pops up, more time is added as the driver writes or draws a description of the failure. The same issues apply to post-trip inspections as well.<\/p>\n
There might also be a lag time in addressing vehicle issues based on when the inspection report actually gets turned in. If fleet administrators are manually entering inspection data into Excel or filing physical reports, this adds time to the process.<\/p>\n
Since the average inspection logbook costs $3.81 and lasts about a month, the annual cost\u2014particularly for larger fleets\u2014is significant. Plus, paper-based inspections can also introduce other unwanted risks like missing critical maintenance issues that often lead to reactive costs and increased vehicle downtime.<\/p>\n
On paper-based vehicle inspection forms, it\u2019s impossible to add specific instructions for drivers, which eliminates the risk of misinterpretation. Drivers must physically transfer paper-based inspection forms to the fleet manager.<\/p>\n During this period, the fleet manager is unaware of the current status of the fleet vehicle. There is also a risk of the inspection checklist form becoming damaged or lost during the transfer between parties. Once the fleet manager has inspection forms in hand, there may be confusion about maintenance issues due to illegibility or lack of detail.<\/p>\n Fleetio<\/a> offers a modern, electronic alternative to paper-based vehicle inspection forms that prioritizes efficiency, accuracy and issue resolution.<\/p>\n \u201cThe simplicity of mobile inspections has been a game-changer for our drivers\u2014 clean, easy-to-use inspection forms that don\u2019t get lost in the shuffle.” – George Buckner, Chief Information Officer at CFEC<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The implementation of electronic vehicle inspection forms will relieve drivers from the burden of paper inspection checklists and improve inspection quality\u2014all from an existing smartphone or tablet.
