Not only can our vehicle inspection software improve driver safety and reduce maintenance costs, but it also has the potential to benefit your operations in other ways. These include:
Using our vehicle inspection software on a mobile phone makes it easier for drivers to perform inspections, allowing managers to hold them accountable and prevent pencil-whipping.
Digital fleet vehicle inspection allows you to store and manage records in the cloud, so you’ll always know where to find accurate, up-to-date information about each asset and driver.
Create unique barcodes and QR codes for your vehicles and equipment. Easily scan the unique barcode using the Whip Around mobile app and start a new inspection immediately.
We’re getting pulled over less. The few times that they have pulled us over, we’re always passing with flying colors.
We started to see our maintenance costs come down, resulting in over 30% per month in savings after putting Whip Around into play.
There is no more transferring paperwork through four facilities - this literally saves us tens of thousands of dollars a year.

and management app for yourself.
Whip Around replaces paper inspection sheets with a mobile app that drivers use to complete customizable digital inspections for any vehicle or asset type. Drivers capture and annotate photos of defects directly in the report, and failed items automatically generate a work order — no separate call to the shop required. Every completed inspection is stored in the cloud and fully searchable, so fleet managers get audit-ready records instead of a box of clipboards. AI Inspections Pro can also review inspection photos automatically, flagging defects a reviewer might miss and cutting down review time.
A pre-trip inspection happens before a vehicle is put into service: the driver reviews the most recent DVIR and confirms the vehicle is in safe operating condition, per 49 CFR 396.13. A post-trip inspection happens at the end of the day's work — the driver documents any defects found during operation in a new DVIR, per 49 CFR 396.11, so the next driver (or the shop) knows the vehicle's condition before it's used again. Together, the two inspections create a continuous safety record for each asset rather than a single snapshot.
Yes, for passenger-carrying commercial motor vehicles — a DVIR is required every day regardless of whether a defect is found. For property-carrying CMVs, drivers must still inspect the vehicle and be satisfied it's safe to operate under 49 CFR 396.13, but a written DVIR is only required when a defect or deficiency is actually found (a rule change FMCSA made in 2014). Carriers must keep DVIRs, defect certifications, and driver pre-trip review certifications on file for at least three months. FMCSA's 2026 rule on electronic DVIRs confirms these reports can be created and maintained digitally under 49 CFR 390.32.
A full Whip Around inspection covers the vehicle's condition, the driver's sign-off, and everything needed to act on what's found, all in one submission. Through digital inspection forms, drivers work through a customizable checklist built for the specific asset (truck, trailer, forklift, bus, etc.), covering items like tires, brakes, lights, fluids, and safety equipment. For anything that doesn't pass, they can attach photos or video, add notes with voice-to-text, and flag a defect's severity so it's clear whether the vehicle is safe to operate. The form auto-fills details like driver, vehicle, date, time, and location, and closes with a digital signature to certify the report. If a defect is logged, it can immediately trigger a work order so nothing falls through the cracks between the inspection and the repair. Everything syncs to the dashboard in real time, giving fleet managers a compliant, DOT-ready digital record, replacing the paper DVIR entirely.
Whip Around gives multi-location fleets one place to see inspection status across every yard, region, and asset type through a fleet compliance dashboard. Custom inspection forms can vary by location or asset while still rolling up into the same searchable, cloud-based inspection history. Failed items convert into work orders automatically, and fleet reporting surfaces defect rates and driver inspection compliance by site — so a fleet manager overseeing 500 vehicles across a dozen locations can spot a compliance gap without chasing down paperwork from each yard. AI Inspections Pro adds a layer of automated review on top, which matters more as inspection volume grows.
Start by rebuilding your paper checklist as a digital inspection form in Whip Around, matching the categories your fleet already inspects. Roll the mobile app out to drivers so they complete pre-trip and post-trip inspections on their phone or tablet instead of a clipboard, with photo capture and digital sign-off replacing handwritten notes. Once inspections move to the app, records are stored automatically, searchable by vehicle or date, and exportable for a DOT audit — and failed items flow straight into a work order instead of a sticky note on someone's desk. Most fleets can pilot this on a handful of vehicles before rolling out fleet-wide; you can start a free trial to test the process.
Inspection time depends on the size of the asset, the number of items on the form, and whether the driver is completing a pre-trip or post-trip check — so times vary. What matters more than speed is thoroughness: digital checklists are built to replace pencil-whipping with real inspections. The app walks drivers through each item in order and won't let them submit an incomplete report, so an inspection that used to take 30 seconds on paper might now take several minutes — because it's actually being done. With custom forms, fleets can scale the checklist to match the vehicle and the risk it carries, so a quick daily walk-around and a detailed post-trip on a multi-axle truck won't take the same amount of time, and that's by design.
