Understand that by law the trucking company must keep all log entries a minimum of 6 months. In case of a lawsuit every entry is admissible by a plaintiff's lawyer and you will be questioned on them. So if you do a 104 point pre-trip in 5 minutes according to your log rest assured you will have to show the jury how you do the pre-trip in 5 minutes.

Also understand that every pre-trip you log is completed in "whatever time", regardless of weather conditions, time of day, location, etc. will be examined by a jury. Vary your times. 18 minutes one day, 20 another, 16,19, etc. That way it looks like you are actually doing them.
