It's kinda surprising, but no an inspection isn't, by strict reading of the regs, required. The exact wording is "satisfied" that the list of stuff on the truck is in order.
Of course, while not impossible, it is hard to be satisfied without doing an inspection. One way is another driver, or mechanic does the inspection, or even rolling off an assembly line and a couple other outlandish ways.
Post trip inspection mandatory?

Whether or not you show any minutes for it on your logs it’s still a good thing to do. I do it at the end of every day, takes 5 mins tops. I’ve caught a couple nails and lights that went out. Ended up saving me time the following day.
deathB4decaf and bigblue19 Thank this. -
Its really simple for me. If you do a pre & post trip you would be doing it while on duty. So would need to log the time spent.
deathB4decaf Thanks this.
