CDL · Vehicle inspection
When you do a pre-trip inspection, which statement about the vehicle inspection report is true?
Correct answer: You should go over the most recent report.
Answer options
- AYou need to read it only if a supervisor tells you to
- BYou need to read it only if you will carry passengers
- CYou should go over the most recent report Correct
Why
Reviewing the last inspection report is an early step of every pre-trip inspection, because it shows which defects were reported and whether the carrier certified that they were repaired or did not need repair. It is part of every inspection, not something done only when a supervisor asks or passengers are aboard.
