Millis OTR journal

It’s been in for a week zero expansion. Really don’t know what to make of it. I have no idea what size of bed this mattress is supposed to fit. It would make a dwarf happy I suppose.

 

Per qcom this week it seems they are trying to push 15 minute pre and post trip inspections.

 

Something to chew on MIT. My trainer didn't like pretrips either. Lawsuits being what they are, any cctv footage discoverable just makes you and the company that much more culpable.

If a hotel, restaurant and their freezer company can be held liable for a drunk woman locking herself in a freezer and dying, you can rest assured they will come after everything you own because you couldn't spare 15 minutes a day.

 

Maybe I missed something along the way?

Back as far as the late 80s, one thing we had to have in our logbook was a 15 min Pre trip at the beginning of our day and a 15 min Post trip at the end of our day!

 

There’s no specific time for inspections.. it just states log as you do it.. the 15 increments were because paper logs were set that way

 

Back in the tachograph days,it had to be at 8 minutes to bump it to the quarter hour. Lol

 

I remember those from the 70's, haven't heard or seen that word in years.

 

Ok, now your getting back to, before my days out here, you must be an old fart…

 

Get off my lawn! But that was decades before I got my CDL.

 

Why not 5 - 10 minutes? The FMCSA doesn’t specify a time limit for either pre or post trip inspections.
Mine vary from day to day. I don’t have a set time. My trainer was same way. On duty for 3 minutes for everything, pre trip, fueling, checking in. All 3 minutes lol.
