Fleet audit readiness
Fleet audit readiness means you can show the file for every driver who went out, including a subcontractor's driver. The file covers the check-code date, the insurance use-class, the right-to-work date, the MOT and the named approver. The assessment shows where that file is thin. It is not a legal pass.

Why teams use this
Zerity helps operators replace spreadsheets, disconnected tools, and manual follow-up with one clearer workflow.
Records an auditor can ask for
Answer for every person who carried your parcels, including a driver sent by a subcontractor. A check code is generated by the driver so you can view the licence on GOV.UK. Where a right-to-work check applies, follow the Home Office employers' guide. Daily vehicle inspections sit in the DVSA Guide to maintaining roadworthiness, which is a different list from this one.
The delivery driver onboarding checklist is the longer list a depot prints. The cost of chasing the gaps is on the fleet compliance cost calculator. Driver compliance software: Zerity stores the licence record, the date it was checked and the expiry. Track every expiry date in one place. When an audit date is fixed and you want policies reviewed, see Sagax compliance services.
Questions
What will an auditor ask for?
The licence check record, the right-to-work evidence, the insurance, and who signed the driver off. This page lists those gaps. It does not score a pass.
Is a complete list a legal defence?
No. It is a list of gaps in the file you keep. A carrier or a client may still ask for more than these five items.
Does this replace a DVSA visit?
No. Vehicle inspections and drivers' hours sit with DVSA rules. This scorecard is the driver file, including a subcontractor's driver.
Does Zerity run the licence check?
Ask the driver for a DVLA check code and view the licence on GOV.UK. Zerity stores the licence record, the date it was checked and the expiry. Track every expiry date in one place.
