What kind of form is this?
This changes what's on the sheet, not just the title. A DVIR needs signature blocks a pre-trip doesn't.
Whose form is this?
Your name goes at the top. Ours goes in small print at the bottom.
Who does a driver call?
A phone number alone doesn't tell a driver whether to park the truck. The instruction line is what turns a checklist into a policy.
What are they inspecting?
These two answers decide the core checklist. A service pickup shouldn't carry the same sheet as a Class 8 dump truck.
Drivers look at the tires every trip; nobody pulls out a depth gauge daily. The checklist line will read "measure depth weekly, see below" so the two sections point at each other.
Listed front to back. Drag the handle or use the arrows to reorder. Defaults to a steer and two drives; add tag, pusher, lift or trailer axles as needed, and repeat a type for a tri-drive, a second steer, or twin tags — they number themselves. The note prints in italics beside the axle, which is where "if applicable" goes for an axle not every truck has.
Anything mounted on it?
Tick one to see what's in it. Every item starts checked — uncheck anything that doesn't apply to your trucks, and add your own at the bottom of each list. Pick only what's actually on this class of vehicle; a form nobody can finish gets pencil-whipped. Watch the page count as you go.
How does it print?
A full CMV checklist runs to two half-pages, which is one sheet printed front and back. A non-CMV list fits on one.
