FMCSA pre-trip walk-around inspection for CMV drivers covering engine, cab, exterior, coupling, and safety.
FMCSA 49 CFR 396.13 requires CMV drivers to be satisfied the vehicle is safe before driving. This pre-trip checklist follows the standard walk-around inspection sequence: engine compartment, cab interior, exterior circuit (lights, tires, body), coupling area, and safety equipment — matching the format used in CDL skills testing.
Documented pre-trips demonstrate compliance during DOT roadside inspections and support the carrier's maintenance programme.
