  • Vehicle details, week starting date and regular driver
  • Daily record of the driver’s initials and odometer start and finish
  • Monday to Sunday tick grid, so one sheet covers the whole week
  • Engine oil, coolant, brake and other fluids, and leak checks
  • Lights, indicators, reversing alarm, beacon and work lights
  • Tyres, wheel nuts, spare tyre, body and towing gear
  • Brakes, steering and dashboard warning lights
  • Safety equipment: seat belts, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, warning triangles and load restraint
  • Cab, windscreen, mirrors, wipers, horn and registration
  • Defects found and action taken log, and weekly driver and supervisor sign-off

What you get

  • An editable Microsoft Word checklist (4 pages), to fill in on screen or print
  • Tick boxes that work in Word
  • A faults and actions record and sign-off
  • Business details typed once and filled in on every page, plus a space for your logo

FAQ

Before you buy

Something else? Ask us and a real person will reply.

What format is it?

Microsoft Word. Edit it in Word, or free in Word for the web, and add your own logo and business details.

How do I get it after I pay?

Your download buttons appear as soon as checkout finishes, and the links are emailed to you. You can re-download from your account at any time.

Is it compliant with Queensland law?

It's written around Queensland's Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and Regulation 2011. Tailor it to your site, consult your workers and review it whenever conditions change; no template can guarantee compliance on its own.

What if it isn't right for my job?

If it doesn't match its description or has a fault, tell us and we'll fix it. If you're still not happy, we'll refund you or give you store credit, your choice. Check the sample pages first, as we don't refund a change of mind.
