DVIR · FMCSA 49 CFR §396.11

Keep every truck road-legal.

RigBuddy turns the daily vehicle inspection into a two-minute job your drivers actually finish. Guided checks, photos, AI that catches real defects, and DOT-ready reports your safety team can stand behind.

No setup fees. No contracts. Pay only for the trucks you run.

Everything in one app

Built for the people who keep trucks moving

From the driver in the yard to the safety manager at the desk — RigBuddy covers the whole inspection, not just a checkbox.

📸

Guided inspections

Drivers walk the truck zone by zone — brakes, tires, lights, coupling, trailer, reefer. Every required checkpoint, with photos where it counts. Works offline; syncs the second you're back on signal.

🤖

AI that catches defects

Snap a photo and our AI flags bald tires, brake leaks, cracked components and more — as an advisory. Your safety team always makes the final call. AI suggests, humans decide.

Safety review queue

Managers see every submission in one place, with the driver's call and the AI's flag side by side. Approve, reject out-of-service, or ask for another photo — in seconds.

📄

DOT-ready DVIR reports

Every inspection becomes a clean, signed PDF aligned to 49 CFR §396.11 — carrier, vehicle, defects, photos and certification. Pull a date range and hand it to an auditor.

🚚

Fleet & driver management

Add trucks and trailers, invite drivers with a one-time code, and see your whole fleet's status from any desktop. Scale up or down whenever you need to.

🌎

Speaks your drivers' language

The driver app runs in English and Spanish out of the box, with more on the way. Less confusion in the yard, fewer missed checkpoints, cleaner records.

Audit-ready, every day

When the DOT comes knocking, you're ready.

Roadside inspections and audits don't wait for paperwork. RigBuddy keeps a clean, time-stamped, photo-backed record for every truck — so a request for records is a two-click answer, not a fire drill.

  • 49 CFR §396.11 aligned. Pre-trip and post-trip DVIRs with the mandatory checkpoints covered.
  • Records you can defend. Photos, timestamps, GPS, driver and reviewer signatures.
  • Retention handled. Reports kept and exportable for audit response.
  • Out-of-service control. Critical defects get flagged and tracked, not buried.
