To be sure your vehicle is ready to operate, conduct a pre-trip
inspection at the beginning of each work period. This section
gives the operator suggested guidelines to be used in performing
tractor and trailer pre-trip inspections.
Safety is the most
important and obvious reason for doing a pre-trip inspection.
Depending on the optional features of the vehicle being used
and any possible aftermarket items installed on the vehicle,
these guidelines should be modified to include other necessary
inspection points. Follow the steps in this section and check
them off to ensure a proper vehicle inspection procedure. The
pages in this section may be reproduced locally and used on a
regular basis.
If any component or system does not pass this inspection, it
must be corrected before operating the vehicle. Take your time
going through the pre-trip inspection. Remember that a careful
pre-trip inspection saves time by eliminating unscheduled stops
to correct a faulty item.
