Trailer

A trailer sits in the yard for weeks between hookups, and nobody's watching it the way they watch the tractor.

Trailers rotate between drivers and lots, so nobody owns the check by default. A tag on the nose ties the pre-hookup inspection to that specific trailer's history.

How it works

Three steps from sticker to audit trail

No rollout project and no training day. The tag on the trailer is the entire interface.

1

Tag every trailer

Durable QR labels arrive pre-registered to your account. Nothing onthe sticker identifies you — the link between tag and company lives on the server.

2

First scan sets it up

Scanning an unclaimed code walks you through naming the trailer, choosing a checklist and setting how often it needs checking.

3

Every scan after is the record

Anyone with a phone sees when it was last inspected and files the next one. Overdue trailers surface before an inspector finds them.

On the checklist

What a trailer check actually covers

Start from a checklist that already knows the job, then change anything you want. At every hookup and before any trailer leaves the yard.

  • Landing gear operates and locks
  • King pin and coupling condition
  • Brake lines and glad hands sealed
  • Cargo door hinges and seals
  • Tires and wheel fasteners
  • License plate and DOT number visible

Why it has to be provable

FMCSA 49 CFR 396.11

Requires a written driver report on the vehicle's condition, including trailer coupling devices, brakes, and lights, at the completion of each day's work.

Cited as a guide to what auditors look for. Confirm the edition and any local amendments that apply to your site — adoption varies by jurisdiction.

Our drivers already check the trailer when they hook up.

A check that lives in a driver's head disappears when the trailer swaps hands next week. Scanning the tag on the trailer nose logs the inspection against that unit specifically, with photos, so the yard has a real history instead of a shrug.

Why teams switch

Built for fleet and yard managers; drivers and yard hostlers performing the hookup check

The spreadsheet was never the problem. Proving the check actually happened is.

Evidence, not assertions

Every inspection carries its timestamp, the person who filed it and the photos they took. A record that cannot be back-dated is worth more than one that can.

Overdue surfaces itself

Assets past their interval are flagged on the dashboard and emailed to whoever owns them, so a missed check is noticed by you and not by an inspector.
