Done on the phone
The pre-trip and the post-trip are both done in the TruckerPro Driver app. No paper sheets to collect, read and file at the end of the week.
Inspections
Trip inspections in the Driver app, on a Schedule 1 checklist
Drivers open the TruckerPro Driver app and rate each item on a checklist based on National Safety Code Schedule 1 as OK, minor or major. Your company chooses whether a major defect keeps the truck parked.
Included from the Starter plan
| Item | Result |
|---|---|
| Air brake system | OK |
| Lamps and reflectors | OK |
| Tires | Minor |
| Suspension system | Major |
Held until a supervisor clears it
Inside each trip inspection
Based on Schedule 1
Checklist items come from Schedule 1, the list that Standard 13 of the National Safety Code uses for trip inspections of trucks, tractors and trailers.
Three results per item
Every item gets OK, minor or major, plus a note where it helps, so a cracked lens and a leaking brake chamber never look alike on the record.
Where and at what reading
The odometer reading and a GPS fix are stored with every inspection, so you know which yard or truck stop the unit was checked in.
Inspect before the load
If you want it, a company rule can require a pre-trip ahead of every pickup and a post-trip ahead of every delivery. Nothing changes until you turn it on.
Hold on a major defect
With blocking enabled, any major defect parks the truck, and only a supervisor can clear it to go back into service.
After a driver marks a defect
Every defect a driver reports shows up on that vehicle’s risk register. Pull up T-219 and today’s major suspension item sits beside the minor tire note another driver left on Tuesday, so the small things a paper sheet would lose stay with the truck.
Standard 13 does not allow a commercial vehicle with a major defect to be driven. When blocking is on in RigMD, such a truck is held out of service until a supervisor clears it, which means the person returning it to the road has seen the report. The repair itself is your shop’s decision; on Pro, the shop lead opens a work order and hands it to a mechanic.
CVIP, provincial inspections and the Quebec forms
A trip inspection covers one day. Each unit also needs its periodic inspection under Standard 11 Part B, known as CVIP in British Columbia and Alberta, the annual or semi-annual inspection in Ontario and the mandatory mechanical inspection in Quebec. Daily renewal alerts in RigMD watch those dates alongside registration, IRP cab cards, insurance and permits, using each unit’s fleet records, and the CVIP guide explains the provincial programs.
In Quebec, carriers whose preventive maintenance program the SAAQ has recognized must fill out and keep maintenance sheets. Premium lets mechanics record a PM inspection on SAAQ form 6609A for a truck or 6648A for a trailer, then print the result as a PDF for the file. Compare the plans on pricing.
How it works
Setting up trip inspections
- 1
Set the company rules
Choose whether pickups and deliveries need an inspection first, and whether major defects hold trucks.
- 2
Drivers inspect
The driver rates every checklist item in the app and adds notes on anything that is not OK.
- 3
The record is kept
Odometer, location and results are saved, and defects join the truck’s risk register.
- 4
A supervisor releases it
If blocking is enabled, a held truck returns to service only after a supervisor clears it.

Questions, answered
Does the checklist match Schedule 1?
It is based on the National Safety Code Schedule 1 items that Standard 13 applies to trucks, tractors and trailers, and each item is rated OK, minor or major with notes. The app records the inspection the driver did; it does not on its own make a carrier compliant with Standard 13.
Is an inspection required before each pickup?
Only when you switch on the company rule, which asks for a post-trip before each delivery and a pre-trip before each pickup. It is off by default.
What happens with a major defect?
If blocking is enabled, the truck stays out of service until cleared by a supervisor. If it is not, the defect is still saved on the inspection and listed on the vehicle’s risk register.
Does a defect create a repair job?
No. It is recorded on the inspection and shown on the risk register, and your shop decides what to do next. On Pro, that usually means the shop lead opening a work order and assigning a mechanic.
What about Quebec’s SAAQ forms?
They come with Premium: a mechanic fills in a PM inspection on form 6609A for a truck or 6648A for a trailer, then prints it as a PDF.
Are trip inspections on Starter?
Yes. Starter covers driver inspections, the pickup and delivery rule, out-of-service blocking and the risk register, and the SAAQ forms are added on Premium. Compare plans on pricing.
