    For the test... but think about this in terms of the long run.

    When you're out on the road, you need to do this every day. At least I do. I don't get stupid equipment tickets (I work too hard to be paying some stupid judge or cop for a visit to them!), no CSA points, catch expensive maintenance problems before they get expensive.

    Yes that's how its going but if an instructor contacts u, u can go w/o doing your pretrip u also have to keep n mind that when u get back u have to do pretrip skills & driving test its better (to me) to have pretrip out d way b 4 u leave terri is also a great teacher

    I'd be calling my FM TODAY about that. You're supposed to be doing the driving as a student.

    When you switching? That's not right that he never let you drive... did you tell your FM about this?

    I did my test before heading out. It is a relief to have that under my belt. Now i do them for the reason IP mentioned not because I have to. We stop for brake checks cause you can't earn the money in the morgue. And you don't make as much when your paying DOT.

    Safety is everything. 10-20 minutes pretrip can save hours later.
