When a transportation accident occurs, thorough documentation is critical—not just for insurance and liability purposes, but to meet Department of Transportation (DOT) compliance requirements and maintain your company's safety record. This **Transportation Driver Accident Report** template is designed specifically for fleet managers, safety officers and transportation companies who need to capture complete incident details quickly, accurately and in compliance with federal regulations.

### Purpose-built for transportation and logistics

Whether you manage a fleet of commercial trucks, delivery vans or passenger vehicles, this form streamlines the entire accident reporting process. Drivers can submit reports immediately after an incident using any device, ensuring all required details are captured while memories are fresh. The form walks through driver information, vehicle details, incident circumstances, cargo damage assessment, witness statements and immediate actions taken—all structured to meet DOT reporting standards.

The built-in DOT compliance checklist ensures you're capturing the data needed for federal accident registers, while the drug and alcohol testing documentation section helps you stay compliant with post-accident testing requirements under FMCSA regulations.

### Why transportation companies choose Paperform

This template gives transportation and logistics companies a single, professional solution for accident reporting that replaces messy PDFs, paper forms and fragmented email chains. Every submission is automatically captured, timestamped and stored securely, creating a clear audit trail for compliance reviews, insurance claims and safety investigations.

You can embed this form in your driver portal, share it via QR code in vehicles, or send it directly to drivers after an incident. Conditional logic ensures drivers only see relevant questions based on the type of accident, severity and cargo involvement, making the form faster to complete while still capturing comprehensive details.
