Digital pre-start checklists
Work through the daily check item by item, with photos and an e-signature. A failed check stops the trip.

Built for drivers, from the first check of the day
The Driver app takes the paper out of pre-starts and fault reports, and keeps the office up to date as the day goes.
Fault and breakdown reports
Report a fault or a breakdown with photos and location, and it goes straight to the workshop.
Trips and instructions
See today's trips and delivery points; trips finish automatically on arrival.
Timesheets and break timer
Track the shift and its breaks, with a countdown to the next break that's due.
Live sync with the office
Pre-starts, faults and trips appear on the Logistics platform as they happen.

Pre-starts that actually get done
A check the driver can't skip, and a fault the workshop sees before the truck arrives.
- No pre-start, no trip: a trip can't start without a passed check that day
- Photos and notes on failed items
- A default checklist based on NHVR daily-check guidance, or your own
- Truck and trailer checklists
- Every check kept on record, with an e-signature
- On iPhone and Android
From check to trip
A passed pre-start unlocks the day's trip; a failed one gets the truck to the workshop.

Pre-start checklist app: common questions
What does a truck pre-start check cover?
- The default daily check has 19 vehicle items, in the order a driver walks the truck: in-cab, identification and leaks, lights, wheels and tyres, chassis and air, and towing connections. There are also 14 trailer items, including load restraint. See the full pre-start checklist.
Can drivers attach photos to a fault?
- Yes. Drivers can add a photo and a note to any failed item. Fault and breakdown reports carry photos and the truck's location.
What happens after a driver reports a fault?
- It goes to the workshop as a request with the vehicle, photos and location, and the office sees it on the Logistics platform.
Can we use our own checklist?
- Yes. Build your own checklists in the Logistics platform. If you don't, the default heavy vehicle checklist is ready to use.
Does the app work without mobile signal?
- The Driver app needs a connection to submit checks and trips. If the signal drops, it reconnects automatically when coverage returns.
Is it an electronic work diary (EWD)?
- No. The app records shifts and breaks for your own records, but it isn't an NHVR-approved electronic work diary.
Is it on iPhone and Android?
- Yes. The Driver app is on the App Store and Google Play.
