Most trucking fleets already have an ELD. But an ELD doesn’t give you a true electronic DVIR — and without one, you’re still creating risk. Paper inspections get pencil-whipped. Defects go undocumented. And when a DOT auditor asks for your records, you’re scrambling.
Whip Around works alongside your existing ELD and telematics system to close the inspection and compliance gap — with true electronic DVIR, automated work orders, audit-ready records, and integrations with Geotab, Samsara, and Motive built in.
Keep equipment running with fast defect resolution and minimal time off the road
Catch developing issues before they become costly roadside failures
Prevent breakdowns before they pull a truck off the route
Your ELD tells you where your trucks are and how many hours your drivers have logged. It doesn’t tell you whether the pre-trip inspection actually happened, whether a defect was documented and resolved, or whether your records will hold up under a DOT audit.
A true electronic DVIR does all of that — mandatory photo capture, GPS timestamps, automatic work orders, and a complete searchable record. Whip Around enforces accountability at every step, so defects get documented, assigned, and resolved instead of disappearing between shifts.
| ✕ The Old Way | ✓ With Whip Around |
|---|---|
| Paper DVIR forms that get lost, altered, or simply not filled out | Digital inspections with timestamped, GPS-tagged photos — completed on a driver's phone |
| Drivers pencil-whipping pre-trip and post-trip inspections | Mandatory live-photo capture that proves the inspection actually happened |
| Defects that fall through the cracks between shifts and drivers | Instant defect alerts sent directly to mechanics and fleet managers |
| Scrambling to pull paper records during a roadside inspection or DOT audit — hours lost, violations risked | Every inspection, defect, and maintenance record stored, searchable, and exportable in seconds from any device — audit-ready, always |
| Buying stockpiles of parts "just in case" because nobody tracks usage | Just-in-time inventory management with tracked service intervals and reorder thresholds |
| No visibility across multiple locations or trucks | Centralized fleet management dashboard across every yard, location, and driver |
| Telematics and inspection data living in separate systems that don't talk to each other | Integrations with Geotab, Samsara, and Motive push fault codes and engine hours directly into Whip Around to trigger work orders automatically |
Paper DVIRs get pencil-whipped, lost, and ignored.
Whip Around’s post and pre-trip inspection app gives drivers a guided mobile checklist with mandatory AI-enabled photo capture — so every pre-trip and post-trip inspection is timestamped, GPS-tagged, and provably complete. When a defect is flagged, it automatically becomes a work order. No phone calls, no paper trail gaps.
Already have an ELD? Whip Around works alongside it. Whip Around is not a replacement for your ELD or telematics platform — it’s the inspection and compliance layer they don’t cover. Whether your fleet runs Geotab, Samsara, or Motive, Whip Around integrates directly, so your systems work together instead of creating gaps.
Most fleets don’t fail DOT inspections because they ignored maintenance — they fail because small issues slipped through an inconsistent process. Whip Around’s preventative maintenance software for trucking schedules PMs by mileage, engine hours, or calendar date, and pulls fault code data from Geotab, Samsara, or Motive to trigger work orders automatically.
When a DOT officer pulls one of your drivers over, or an auditor requests 90 days of inspection records, you need documentation fast. Whip Around keeps every inspection report, defect log, and maintenance record organized in one searchable platform — accessible from any device, exportable on demand.
No binders. No back-and-forth with the yard. No scrambling. Just records, ready when you need them. And if you need help getting there, our support team will work with you directly to make sure your account is set up for audit readiness from day one.
Let us help you get audit-ready — with incredible support and easy access to your inspection and maintenance records. Our team doesn’t just hand you software and walk away. We help you configure your forms, set up your workflows, and make sure your records are organized and exportable exactly the way a DOT auditor would want to see them. When compliance is on the line, you shouldn’t have to figure it out alone.
When something goes wrong at a remote terminal, how fast does your shop hear about it? Whip Around gives every location, driver, mechanic, and manager access to the same real-time information — inspection submissions, defect reports, work order status, and maintenance history — from one central dashboard.
One of the first questions we hear from trucking fleets is: “Does it integrate with our ELD?” The answer is yes.
Whip Around connects with Geotab, Samsara, Motive, and other leading telematics platforms so fault codes, engine hours, and mileage data flow directly into Whip Around — triggering maintenance reminders and work orders automatically. Drivers on Geotab can access Whip Around inspection forms without leaving the Geotab interface.
Your telematics platform tells you where your trucks are. Whip Around tells you whether they’re safe to operate.
103,000+ drivers use Whip Around daily because the pre-trip inspection app takes minutes to learn. A guided mobile checklist with mandatory AI-enabled, GPS-tagged photo capture built in. No manuals, no resistance from the cab, no IT setup required.
Custom pre-trip and post-trip inspection forms that meet 49 CFR §§ 396.11 and 396.13 requirements, with mandatory photo capture and timestamped records that prove compliance. Every electronic DVIR is stored in the cloud and exportable on demand.
Set PM triggers by mileage, engine hours, or calendar date. Integrations with Geotab, Samsara, and Motive push fault codes directly into Whip Around — triggering work orders automatically before small issues become roadside failures.
Every inspection, defect, and work order is stored, searchable, and exportable. When a DOT officer or auditor asks for documentation, you're ready in seconds — not hours. And our support team is available to help you get set up, stay organized, and pull records when it matters most.

Yes — integrating with your existing ELD or telematics platform is one of the first things we get asked about, and it's fully supported. Whip Around integrates with Geotab, Samsara, Motive, and other leading telematics platforms. Fault codes, engine hours, and mileage data flow directly into Whip Around to trigger maintenance reminders and work orders automatically. Drivers on Geotab can access Whip Around inspection forms without leaving the Geotab interface. Whip Around is not a replacement for your ELD — it's the inspection and compliance layer that closes the gap your ELD can't.
Digital DVIR software replaces paper Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports with a mobile app that drivers use to complete pre-trip and post-trip inspections from their phone. Every inspection is timestamped, GPS-tagged, and photo-verified — creating an electronic record that satisfies FMCSA requirements under 49 CFR §§ 396.11 and 396.13. When a defect is flagged, digital DVIR software automatically generates a maintenance work order and routes it to the responsible mechanic or fleet manager. All records are stored in the cloud, searchable, and exportable for roadside inspections or DOT audits. Whip Around is built specifically around this workflow — connecting electronic DVIR directly to preventive maintenance scheduling and compliance recordkeeping in one platform.
Under 49 CFR § 396.11, drivers of CMVs over 10,000 lbs GVWR must complete a Driver Vehicle Inspection Report at the end of each day the vehicle is used, covering brakes, steering, lights, tires, and other specified components. Under 49 CFR § 396.13, the incoming driver must review the prior driver's DVIR before operating the vehicle and sign to confirm that defects have been repaired or don't affect safe operation. The FMCSA's no-defect DVIR rule simplifies paperwork for trips where no defects are found, but the obligation to inspect and document remains for all covered vehicles. Whip Around's electronic DVIR software digitizes this entire workflow — pre-trip inspection app, post-trip report, defect documentation, repair sign-off — in one auditable record.
Whip Around digitizes the full DVIR workflow required under 49 CFR §§ 396.11 and 396.13 — capturing driver inspections, defect documentation, repair follow-up, and driver sign-offs in one auditable record. Drivers complete pre-trip and post-trip inspections on their phone. When a defect is flagged, it flows into a work order automatically. Your team can track corrective action from defect report to close-out, and export the complete record for any roadside inspection or audit.
Whip Around helps lower CSA scores by making sure every defect gets documented, assigned, and resolved before a vehicle goes back into service. Paper inspection processes allow defects to fall through the cracks — undocumented issues lead to roadside violations, which drive up CSA scores. ALC Freight eliminated DOT violations from undocumented defects after switching to Whip Around. Northwest Repossession went from compliance struggles to passing roadside inspections with flying colors after implementing the platform.
The learning curve is intentionally low. The daily workflow is straightforward: open the app, select the asset, complete the assigned inspection form, flag any defects with photos, and submit. Most drivers are completing inspections independently within a single training session — typically less than an hour.
Yes. Whip Around supports custom inspection forms for tractors, trailers, dollies, refrigerated units, and any other asset type — all within the same platform. You can build separate forms for different inspection types and assign them to specific drivers or assets. Naegeli Transportation, which runs 63 trucks and more than 150 trailer types, uses distinct custom forms for equipment with and without trailers.
Whip Around keeps inspection history and maintenance records organized so your office can export them quickly, and drivers can view or share past inspections from the mobile app. Note that FMCSA still requires the most recent periodic inspection report to be carried in the vehicle — Whip Around helps you keep all supporting documentation organized and accessible for when it's needed.
Whip Around is built specifically for the inspection and maintenance workflow — the daily accountability layer that telematics-only platforms like Samsara or Motive don't cover on their own. Where GPS and ELD systems track location and hours, Whip Around handles whether the pre-trip inspection happened, whether the defect was addressed, and whether the truck is actually safe to operate. The platform works alongside your existing telematics system rather than replacing it, and supports unlimited users and assets at a fixed price rather than charging per seat or per vehicle.
Yes. Whip Around gives managers a central dashboard showing inspection status, defect reports, work orders, and maintenance history across every location, driver, and asset. Corrigan Moving Systems runs 150+ trucks across 13 locations and 5 states from a single Whip Around account. Alerts for failed inspections or flagged defects can be sent to whoever needs to know — dispatcher, mechanic, safety manager — regardless of where they are.
Yes. Whip Around works for any fleet operating commercial vehicles — from OTR carriers running 53-foot trailers to last-mile delivery operations running sprinter vans and box trucks. Inspection forms are fully customizable by asset type, so a delivery fleet can build a van-specific pre-trip checklist that's different from a linehaul tractor form. The platform scales from 10 vehicles to 500+, and the fixed pricing model means adding drivers or assets doesn't increase your per-unit cost.
Whip Around keeps every inspection report, defect record, and maintenance history organized in one searchable platform, exportable on demand. When an audit request comes in, your team can pull complete records by vehicle, driver, date range, or defect type in seconds — no binders, no manual searching. Our support team can also work with you proactively to make sure your account is configured for audit readiness, your forms meet FMCSA requirements, and your record retention is set up correctly before you ever need it.
