I just completed a $8000 I paid, 150 hr course in Ontario. I did not receive such in depth definitive wording and terms explaining the importance of components, tractor and trailer usage, defects and specs. This presentation is a curriculum in itself for the entire pre trip requirements that should be standard across the industry. T H A N K Y O U

[@johnkarmann5966]

you forgot the rear shocks, leaf-spring mounting blocks, air-ride bags, tension bar, cross line for the fuel tanks, u-joints between the drive shafts...

I work for a global delivery company and each day I'm given a different tractor to drive. How long should you spend or at least a minimum of how should it take to properly do a safety pre-trip on a tractor? I'm butting heads w/ a supervisor cause he saying it shouldn't take more than 7 mins for a driver to fully do a proper safety pre-trip on a tractor. I feel that if a driver was to actually perform a proper pre-trip, then it should be taking that driver at least 10-15 mins to do it correctly and not 7 mins which feels so ridiculously rushed. If there was an unfortunate accident due to negligence for preforming an improper pre-trip, can the driver be held liable? Would a lawyer or D.A. possibly institute legal proceedings against (prosecute) that driver if it was known that only 7 mins was spent doing a pre-trip? Have you heard of any past incidents where there was a judgement against a driver for negligence due to an improper pre-trip that could of been avoided?

Thank you! This 16 min video is more accurate and more specific than the video I bought from GSF trucking that’s an hour long and cost me $54! Thank you again!
