Samsara: daily review, certification & inspections

Follow the day to its close: remarks, certification, DVIRs, and physical pre-trip checks.

LESSON 1 / 2 · Read the day and explain the details

Read the day and explain the details

Review the timeline, add useful remarks, and certify the completed record.

Start at the first task

Review each completed day before certifying it. Read the activity in order and check driver, dates, equipment, shipment details, and gaps. A neat graph can still contain a wrong status or an old trailer number.

Open Hours of Service → Daily Log and use the date arrows. Read the graph and event list in order, then check equipment and shipping details.

Give an unclear event its context

In Daily Log, select the date and tap Add Remark. Describe the actual task, time, and reason. A remark explains an event; it does not change its duty status.

A useful remark gives the task, place, and time: “Fueling at Cedar stop, 10:10–10:25.” If the status is wrong too, use the permitted correction workflow. The note alone does not change the duty status.

Certify after checking

After review, choose Certify and Submit. Read the statement, then tap Agree - Submit. Review and recertify if the completed record later changes.
