Digital driver walkaround checks via vehicle QR codes
FleetIQ lets drivers scan a vehicle QR code, complete a digital daily walkaround check and report defects on the spot — no app install required. The checklist can be configured around the relevant GOV.UK HGV walkaround guidance.
Scan, check, report
Drivers scan the QR code on the vehicle, identify themselves, and complete the walkaround on their phone. If they find a defect they can add a description, severity assessment and photo — all submitted straight to the workshop.
Configurable checklist
The walkaround checklist can be configured around the relevant GOV.UK HGV daily walkaround guidance, with company-added operational checks kept separate and clearly labelled so they are never presented as official DVSA requirements.
Driver identification
Companies choose how drivers identify themselves — name, driver number, PIN, or FleetIQ login — with configurable authentication strength for walkaround submission.
Nil-defect compliance records
When no defects are found, the walkaround is still saved as a permanent nil-defect compliance record proving the check took place.
From walkaround to workshop
Reported defects flow straight into FleetIQ defect management, where controllers triage them and create repair jobs — closing the loop between driver and workshop.
