Common Questions
What is an eDVIR?
An eDVIR (Electronic Driver Vehicle Inspection Report) is a digital inspection report submitted electronically by drivers before and after trips. It replaces paper inspections and helps ensure vehicle issues are reported accurately and addressed promptly.
When is an eDVIR required?
Drivers submit eDVIRs during pre‑trip and post‑trip inspections using the RyderGyde™ mobile app.
Can I make updates if defects are found?
Yes. Defects can be noted during the inspection process, and comments can be added to provide additional detail when needed.
Will Ryder always resolve the defects I've closed?
There are a few use cases that could occur in this instance:
- The next driver conducting the inspection determines that there is no issue and may resolve the defect before the vehicle is brought in for service.
- The customer coordinates a repair instead of taking the vehicle to the Ryder shop for service.
- The technician may determine that no repairs are necessary.
Does Ryder automatically schedule an appointment to service vehicles with defects?
No. The customer is responsible for bringing the vehicle in for service.
