7/3 split question

Who do you drive for ? Every Carrier has always required it.

 

Oh, so now it's every carrier requires it, and no longer a DOT requirement?

 

You’re not comprehending the words as the regulation is written. It says the driver must be satisfied that the vehicle is safe, it does not say that the driver must perform an inspection.

Again, what’s the most logical way to make sure it’s safe? The driver logs on duty and does a pretrip inspection. Just because that’s what happens 99% of the time doesn’t mean that’s what the regulation says. If I want to pay a mechanic to inspect my truck while I eat breakfast that would satisfy me that my truck is safe and I wouldn’t have to log any on duty time for a pretrip.

Just slow down and read the actual words of the regulation and don’t think about what you think it says.

If the regulations regulated a pretrip like you claim then the exact definition and what all needs checked and signed off on would be part of the regulation.

 

The regulations are there. Links .

 

You are not in trucking .

 

Yes, some links that actually states the driver has to inspect would be nice, but you've had over a month to find them and still haven't.

 

I’m not. You caught me.

 

No pretrip, no logs, always have a parking place, get 10 mog

 

Ok for the 4th time….even though the most common way to meet the regulation that says a driver must be satisfied that the truck is in good working condition is in fact for the driver to do a pretrip inspection, nowhere in the regs does it say that the only way for a driver to be satisfied with the condition of their truck is to do a pretrip. Honestly at this point I can’t tell if you’re trolling or if you really can’t comprehend what you read in the regulations.

 

I think there is a simple answer. If you the driver. Did a proper PTI the night before. Wouldn't you. In the morning. Be satisfied that it's in safe operating condition?
