Safety Tip : Pre-Trip Inspections The last thing any driver wants to happen is a breakdown. Not only are there safety issues to deal with but also cost, scheduling, and customer relations. Regular pre trip inspections will keep the possibility of a breakdown to a minimum. Every driver should become familiar with Part 392.7 – Equipment, Inspection, and Use, which is found in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. The best way a driver will know if their equipment is working properly/safely is to do a pre trip inspection. It is best to follow the same inspection procedures every time so nothing important will be forgotten. The following is not an all-inclusive list, but should be viewed as a guide: Engine compartment/worn belts, leaks, cracked or broken wires. Start engine and listen for any unusual noises, check gauges, and that warning devices are in the vehicle. Check the lights headlights, tail lights, warning lights, directional lights, brake lights and the brake system. Also check Part 396.11 Driver Vehicle Inspection Report. “Performing a good pre trip will go a long way to help prevent vehicle problems happening on the road.” Randy DeVault, MMTA Training Coordinator Submit An Inquiry Name* First Last Email* Inquiry* Kris-Way Truck Leasing Inc. 43 Hemco Road South Portland, Maine 04106 207-799-8593 A transportation service company, Kris-Way Truck Leasing, Inc. provides full service leasing, commercial truck rental, contract maintenance, logistics and dedicated contract carriage in Maine and New Hampshire.
