Vehicle Readiness

Vehicle readiness helps the office see whether assigned vehicles are fit for the day and whether defects should stop job check-in.

How SiteRun vehicle readiness rules connect assets, prestarts, defects, blocked check-ins and admin oversight.

A required prestart is shown as a blocking task before the first job when vehicle readiness rules are active.

Workflow

  1. Add vehicles or assets with clear names and registrations.
  2. Assign the relevant vehicle to workers or jobs.
  3. Choose whether readiness should block check-in.
  4. Review defects and mark vehicles ready only when appropriate.
  5. Use audit history to understand blocked attempts or readiness changes.

Operational notes

  • Vehicle readiness blocking should be turned on only when the business is ready to enforce it.
  • A critical defect should produce a clear reason, not a vague disabled button.
  • Prestart completion should be timestamped and linked to the worker.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Using vehicle readiness without assigning vehicles to jobs.
  • Allowing critical defects to sit open without an owner.
  • Blocking check-in without giving workers a path to complete the check.
