Course: Canvas Practice Course > Section: Chapter 55 Preventive Maintenance and Inspection

Drivers are required by federal regulation to perform daily inspections of commercial vehicles prior to putting them in service. This helps to insure that the vehicle is safe and legal to operate on the road at the beginning of each shift or before leaving the terminal.

Federal Regulations require an annual safety inspection. At a minimum, all items in Appendix G OOS criteria are required to be inspected and any defects repaired before certifying the vehicle or placing it in service.

Also supplied is a typical record of inspection and maintenance used to track inspection results and services performed on the vehicle.

Using forms provided, you will perform these inspections on several different vehicles and submit the forms for each to your instructor, making note of all defects as indicated.

You will inspect a total of three vehicles, worth 30pts each. Forms must be filled out accurately and completely to receive credit.
