A pre-trip inspection involves thoroughly checking all components and parts of a vehicle prior to driving to identify any issues. This helps avoid breakdowns and accidents. The inspection should be conducted from front to back on both sides of the vehicle and trailer, checking fluid levels, wear and tear, leaks, loose nuts and bolts, lights, brakes, tires, suspension and more. Performing a full brake inspection is also important to ensure brake pressure does not drop significantly while braking. Regular pre-trip inspections help ensure safe and reliable vehicle operation.

DRIVER SAFETY TRAINING PRE TRIP INSPECTION TECHNIQUES
Introduction • What shall we be learning today? 1. What is a Pre Trip Inspection Check ? 2. Why do we need to pre-check vehicles/ Trucks ? and 3. What to look for during Pre Inspection Checks.
Purpose of Pre- Trip Inspection Check The purpose of Pre Trip Inspection is to critically assess all vehicle components and units for proper working condition prior to truck movement.
Benefits of Pre Trip Inspection 1. Avoid sudden Vehicle break down which may result in:- • accident and or serious body injury and cost to the company. • may also result to poor delivery time and bad customer service.
Pre Trip Vehicle Inspection Techniques • Start from the front middle part of your truck and work through the driver side to the back trailer of your truck, through the passenger side from the back to the front, end at the front middle part of your truck where you started.
What to look out for 1. Fluid Levels 2. Wear, Cracks, excess play etc. 3. Leakages 4. Cable peel off 5. Loosen Bolts and Nuts
Parts & Components to look for • Engine Compartment » Engine fluid levels, Belts, » Pumps, Pipes, Hoses, Wires etc. • Cabin Check » Oil & Brake Pressure gauges. » Temperature Gauge, Speedo Meter Reading etc.
Lightening & Body Inspection • Right Hand side lights / indicator • Body Overview • Brake Pressure and Service Hoses • Drive Axle, Hub and Tyres • Propeller Shaft, Bearings and Brake Chamber Pot. • Suspension Leaf Spring, Shackles, U Bolts etc. • Tail Light, Rear end indicator & side lights, reflectors, etc .
Parts & Components Continue • Left Hand side Rear indicator Light and reflectors • Body Overview (Towards the front passenger side) • Brake Pressure and Service Hoses • Trailer Axle, Tyres, Dully, Brakes Shoe Inspection etc • Propeller Shaft and Brake Chamber Pot. • Suspension Leaf Spring, Shackles, U Bolts etc. • Fuel Tank • Front end indicator lights etc .
Full Brake Application • Start the engine and ensure that the brake pressure gauge reaches its full limit; fully press the brake pedal for a minute and assess the pressure level performance. Note: The pressure level should not drop more the 8psi for 24 a wheeler trailer etc.
Summary • We have successfully looked at:- 1. What is a Pre Inspection Check. 2. Why do we need to pre-check vehicles / Trucks before embarking on a trip. 3. What to look for during Pre Inspection Checks.
