In short

A DVSA daily walkaround check is a legally-required pre-use inspection of a commercial vehicle. HaulGuard turns it into a guided two-minute check on a phone — capturing photo, GPS and signature evidence, routing any defects to a mechanic, and keeping every record for the 15-month retention period so you're ready for any roadside check or audit.
