The vehicle

- Show the controls, brakes, mirrors, cameras, load restraint kit and any special equipment.
- Do the first daily check together, using the actual process.
The system
- How to sign in and do the check (in Kovi: scan the QR code and enter the PIN).
- How to report a defect, with a photo, and who will respond.
- What to do if the vehicle is unsafe: stop, tell the office, do not drive.
Policies
- Phone, drugs and alcohol, hours, speed and fatigue.
- Accident and incident reporting steps.
- Breakdown procedure, including safety on the motorway.
Sign-off
Record that the induction was done, by whom and when. Agency drivers need the same basics, especially on the first shift.
