Vehicle Inspection Training: Basics
Not only are proper vehicle inspections a regulatory requirement for commercial motor vehicles (CMVs), but they can go a long way in ensuring your vehicle’s safe and efficient operation. Vehicle inspections can help in finding mechanical problems before they escalate into a breakdown or accident. This can help in avoiding costly on-the-road repairs as well as delays in deliveries. A thorough vehicle inspection program can also assist in avoiding citations and/or out-of-service orders during a roadside inspection. This course is designed to help CMV drivers understand when inspections and inspection documentation are required.
After completing this course, learners will be able to:
- Understand when to complete a pre-trip inspection
- Understand when an on-the-road inspection is required
- Identify when a Driver Vehicle Inspection Report, or DVIR, is required.
