A pre-trip inspection is a thorough inspection of the truck completed before driving for the first time each day.

A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
A written or electronic record of a driver's duty status which must be maintained at all times. The driver records the amount of time spent driving, on-duty not driving, in the sleeper berth, or off duty.
