Pre-Trip, During Trip, and Post Trip Inspections (How do I motivate my drivers?)

Hello to all, I am a Safety Manager for a large wholesale/distributor. We currently have a fleet of 16 box trucks (26' and 15'). I am currently having problems trying to motivate my drivers to do their inspections, pre-trip, during (within the first 50 miles), and post trip. I know that a lot of my guys just turn in their inspection sheet at the end of the day without even looking at the serviceability of their unit. I know this because of all of the "surprise" maintenance issues that pop up, and when they turn in a truck with damage that was not there the night before (I inspect every truck when they turn them in), and said damage is not identified on their inspection sheet when they turn it in. Any suggestions on how I can properly motivate my guys to perform these REQUIRED inspections? Also do OTR drivers even consider local box truck drivers to be "real" truck drivers? I love this site, I have not been able to log in and NOT find something useful. Thank you for everything all of you are doing for this industry, your giving light to the darkness that is the entrance to the trucking industry.
