    Yes, pre-trip can be bear, but it's not bad. The good news is, with Ohio, you don't actually have to "finish" the entire routine.

    Basically, just start at the beginning, like Napier shows you, you can use your own words, but be thorough in the description, if you forget something go back to it. For example, if you are going over the back brakes on the tractor and remember something you forgot on the front brakes, just say, "Oh yeah, I would also check .... on the front brakes." then continue where you left off. Get as far as you can in the 30 minutes alotted. If you get past the landing gear on the trailer, you're good, as long as you haven't forgotten anything before then. Just practice, practice, practice and you'll do fine.
