Complete before your first route. Do NOT operate if any safety-critical item fails. Radio dispatch immediately.
A daily pre-trip inspection checklist for school bus drivers per FMCSA vehicle inspection requirements and state DOT school bus standards. Covers the exterior walk-around (tires, lights, mirrors, stop arm), engine compartment, interior safety (seats, aisle, emergency exits), air brake test, and emergency equipment.
School buses carry the most precious cargo. A thorough pre-trip catches the flat tire, burnt-out stop arm, or seized emergency door before students board — and satisfies the CDL pre-trip inspection requirement documented on your DVIR.
