Why van fleets do daily checks
Employers have a general duty to keep work vehicles safe, and drivers are responsible for the condition of the vehicle they drive. A quick daily check, recorded, shows you took that seriously. Read the van daily check checklist for what to include.
What you get
- A short check driven by a van template you control.
- Defect photos to the office email.
- Reminders for MOT, tax and service.
- Missed check alerts so you know who has not done it.
Drivers keep their own phone
No hardware, no dedicated handsets. Drivers sign in with a PIN on the phone they already carry.

Do vans need daily checks?
