What is Pre-Trip Inspection Standard Work?
Pre/Post Trip inspections are required to be completed daily.
As a driver of a commercial motor vehicle, it is your responsibility to ensure your vehicle is in safe operating condition prior to your departure.
Any deficiencies identified during the inspection process must be documented on the Driver Vehicle Inspection Report (DVIR) and brought to the attention of management.
Review the information on this slide. It is super important and reinforces they are responsible for the condition of their vehicles. Same with next slide.

The Pre-Trip Inspection Standard Work
A Pre-Trip Inspection must be completed prior to your departure from the DC.
This process allows you to identify any safety sensitive defects and correct them prior to placing the vehicle into service for the day.
You will need to turn in this completed Pre-Trip Inspection SW form daily prior to receiving your phone & paperwork.
The form will include your sign-off…
Driver Name: Driver Signature:
Date: Truck Number:
Reviewer Name: Reviewer Signature:
Review what is on this slide (refer them to the Pre-Trip Inspection SW document.
Make sure you inform your drivers who the Reviewer will be in your DC so they know who to go to

5. The ATD Discussion Board
What value does having a standard Pre-Trip Inspection process provide to…
You as a driver?

15. Let’s Practice… Pre-Trip Inspection SW What is X?
You will be in 2 teams
Your job is to find the items that are out of compliance/incorrect for your assigned truck
You will have 15 minutes
Make sure someone on your team is writing down what you found
We will hear a report-out from each team at the end of the time
Make sure 2 trucks are set-up for use ahead of time.
Make 5 items on each truck non-compliant (make sure to document what you did)
Break your drivers into 2 teams (each team goes to a different truck)
Give them 15 minutes
Ask them to identify the items that are non-compliant/hazards (make sure they write it down)
At the end of the time, ask each team to report what they found
If any were missed, discuss.

16. Wrap-up Discussion What is X?
What are the important things to remember when it comes to this Standard Work?
What’s our greatest risk if we don’t follow this?
Ask each question taking comments.
