Awesome thanks big time man, you guys are a friendly bunch of this website!

Oh ok, so regardless if we are team trucking, we always have to do this inspection, to make sure we do not endanger ourselves or others going down the road even if my teamate turn to drive he has to do the PTI. I got it now :) .

Sorry for double posting but I can't find the edit button, I'd like to say what you guys are saying makes great sense, I just dont see how it applys when you have two truckers in the same truck, do they have to both do PTI and ATI at beggining and end of each shifts?

Thanks for the replys guys!

Also I read in my Georgia CDL manual that 15 minutes has to be taken to do the pre-trip inspection so that it shows on records I have done it? So when people look back on my log I guess they can see I took 15 minutes out of my 14hrs to do the pre-trip-inspection? I'm confused a bout that part greatly, because why can't I check my load (PTI) then start my clock?...

I bet i'm going to annoy a bunch of people with my rookie questions.

Also i'd like to add again that i'm going to be team trucking for CRST hopfully (Thats the plan at least for the first year of my trucking career till I can get a flatbed company).

Whats the point of After Trip Inspection if you are a bout to drop a load off and pick up one right after the other? Wouldn't you just do another Pre-trip-inspection again? Also if you are team trucking why do you need to do After trip inspection if your teamate is going to do another pre trip inspection? I'm very ingorant to all of this obviously and do not understand.

I plan on going to CDL company/school (CRST) next 20 days and just very cofnused a bout the whole journey.
