Pre -Trip and Post Trip Inspections
Ensure every trip starts and ends safely with our comprehensive Pre- and Post-Trip Inspection Training. This video gives drivers the knowledge and confidence to identify vehicle issues before they become hazards, helping maintain full compliance with DOT and FMCSA regulations.
In this training, drivers learn how to properly inspect commercial motor vehicles, including tractors, trailers, and intermodal equipment. We walk through critical components—brakes, tires, lights, coupling systems, suspension, emergency gear, and more—showing exactly what to look for and why it matters.
The video also covers required documentation such as DVIRs, when defects must be reported, and how carriers must repair and record identified issues. Drivers will understand how to perform pre-trip, post-trip, and en-route inspections, as well as special rules for cargo securement and hazardous materials transportation.
This training gives drivers the tools to stay safe, prevent breakdowns, protect cargo, and remain compliant—every mile, every time.
