Pre-Trip Inspection - My Way! A Must See!
Topic 3798 | Page 4
Thanks for the time put into this Daniel. Posts like this make TT my go to site for info....much appreciated.
No problem Jimbo! I'm glad it helped you, that's what makes our time we put into this site worth it.
Quick question. On the in cab break check, are you no longer required to do a "static check" of the system? When I took the test after you released the parking brakes, you had to first do a static check of the air which couldn't lose more than (I want to say) 2 lbs in a minute. I'll be going to a CDL refresher course in Lakeland FL starting June 16th and will have to do this test correctly in order to pass. I'll most likely be starting with Prime after completion of the course.
He did the leakage test you're asking about. We were taught no more than 3 psi/minute for a single vehicle, no more than 4 psi/minute for a combination unit.

Annnd right after posting, I see there are 4 pages, and this has been answered to death. :rolleyes: Never mind! ;)
I want to bump this thread for people to see and read it. Remember, you can't get your license without knowing the Pre-Trip Inspection!
Pre-trip Inspection:
A pre-trip inspection is a thorough inspection of the truck completed before driving for the first time each day.
Federal and state laws require that drivers inspect their vehicles. Federal and state inspectors also may inspect your vehicles. If they judge a vehicle to be unsafe, they will put it “out of service” until it is repaired.

Like I always say, this site is a whole lot better than when I was using it before starting school. These spoiled folks don't know how we had it in the old days!
