Driver walkaround check template
A driver walkaround check template helps drivers spot obvious roadworthiness issues before a vehicle is used and gives operators a consistent way to record and escalate defects.
Walkaround checklist
- Tyres: condition, tread, inflation and obvious damage.
- Lights and indicators: working and visible.
- Mirrors, windows and wipers: clean, secure and usable.
- Fluids and leaks: oil, coolant, screenwash and visible leaks.
- Brakes and steering: no obvious warning signs before driving.
- Load security: goods, tools and equipment safely secured.
- Warning lights, damage or unusual noises: report before use.
What drivers need from the portal
The driver portal should not bury guidance. Drivers need clear breakdown information, accident procedures, company vehicle guidance and any driver-visible documents in one place.
