CDL · Vehicle inspection
What should an en-route inspection, made during a trip, include?
Correct answer: Checking both the cargo securement and the tires and brakes for overheating.
Answer options
- AChecking only the tires and brakes for overheating, since cargo is checked on delivery
- BChecking both the cargo securement and the tires and brakes for overheating Correct
- CChecking only the cargo securement, since the vehicle was inspected before the trip
Why
Stops along the route are the time to confirm that the load and its tie-downs are still holding and that tires and brakes are not running hot. Neither check can be skipped because it was done before departure or will be done at the destination.
