Truckcom lets your drivers record their vehicle walkaround checks – whether defects are present or not. The check reports are then stored securely and can be emailed to a folder in your office systems as well if required.

When this module is in use, drivers cannot see their work instructions until their initial walkaround checks have been completed. This forces the driver to record the checks, and also to sign for the roadworthiness of the vehicle. These reports are available instantly as soon as the driver has completed them, and are also securely stored electronically, indefinitely, for compliance purposes.

Comparing this way of working with the traditional paper chase of defect pads shows it to be light years ahead. Once operators start to use this sort of defect and check management systems, they wonder how on earth they managed the old way. Many VOSA audits have proved the effectiveness of the system, and the time savings, combined with the far more reliable method of recording and retaining check and defect data, are easy justifications for adopting this module.
