Neither of my trainers did pre or post trips, usually because of time. They were both lease operators and felt that taking time to do a proper inspection takes money from their pocket, which I suppose it does.

It only takes a few minutes to check things out, tractor and trailer. Whats the old adage "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"

I don't like the time excuse much at all. I can do my usual pretrip for a combination vehicle in 15 to 20 minutes. How much time would an OOS order -- or worse, a preventable accident -- cost ya?

That little rant isn't directed at anyone in this thread, I just take my safety and my record pretty seriously.

Combination Vehicle:

A vehicle with two separate parts - the power unit (tractor) and the trailer. Tractor-trailers are considered combination vehicles.

OOS:

When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
