If the driver connected to the ELD, their unit number will already be selected. If the ELD is not connected, or the unit number is incorrect, then select the correct unit number from the dropdown. 

Note: This list contains all active units for the company (Vehicles and Trailers). If a trailer inspection needs to be completed, simply select the trailer number from the list.

Once the appropriate unit is selected, any previous inspections will be listed under Previous Inspections

Note: Drivers: If a trailer has not been added to Encompass, a DVIR can still be completed for it. Enter in the trailer number. If the trailer is not found in Encompass, it will indicate it is untracked. Encompass Admins: Once the driver submits the inspection, it will come into Encompass as an Unassigned Towed Units on the Unit Maintenance page.
