    Question.....if I'm starting a trip and I hook a trailer and pre trip truck and trailer should I mark 15 minutes or 30 for both? Drop and hook is just 15, but for a pre trip and hook what is it?

    Just use a comma,
    "pti , hook"
    As far as how long to log , that's up to your company

    Won't matter until you have a side is the road problem or your trailer falls off. Then they'll look at a fifteen minute inspection as insufficient.
