7/3 split question

It Specifically does.

 

Are you going to pay someone to do a all around walk and a post trip Stay out of flatded you have to check the load

 

Nope.
Let's go over what you posted... Now, where does it claim the driver has to do an inspection?

393.7 states the driver has to be satisfied. Nothing about the driver doing the inspection.
396.13 claims the same thing. Here's the text. Note it never claims the driver has to do an inspection, he just has to be satisfied everything is working.,

§396.13 Driver inspection.
Before driving a motor vehicle, the driver shall:

(a) Be satisfied that the motor vehicle is in safe operating condition;

(b) Review the last driver vehicle inspection report if required by §396.11(a)(2)(i); and

(c) Sign the report to acknowledge that the driver has reviewed it and that there is a certification that the required repairs have been performed. The signature requirement does not apply to listed defects on a towed unit which is no longer part of the vehicle combination.

§392.7 Equipment, inspection and use.
(a) No commercial motor vehicle shall be driven unless the driver is satisfied that the following parts and accessories are in good working order, nor shall any driver fail to use or make use of such parts and accessories when and as needed:

 

Yes it does, Argue all you want,if you are smart you will do a pretrip and a walk around every time you stop.

 

No, it is for your benefit, I was parked next to a steel hauler with super singles, he got up, fired the truck up and was going to leave, the truck wouldn't move, I walked over to the truck, the tire on the other side was flat.

 

It doesn't. 396.11 does not say that the driver must perform the inspection. The guidance I shared does not say it, although it implies it. Please share the regulation that states "the driver must perform an inspection". You can't because it doesn't exist.

 

Here's 396.13. It does not say "the driver must inspect the truck". It says "must be satisfied the motor vehicle is in safe operating condition.

 

See what it say about intermodal? This is what we say does not exist by inspecting a truck.

 

The Green Book. Buy 1 read it. The Truck inspection is for safety. The fact you are disputing it makes me wonder if you are qualified to be in a truck
