Pre Trip

When I did mine it was -2 degrees and I had a crabby old sob. He grumbled I sounded like a broken record the whole time making me nervous but I just kept gong. He had a cane so I helped him into the cab. I did fine except I forgot to point out windshield wiper operation and point out that all 3 points of seatbelt were secure.

 

I'm using the below and I will be making a checklist off it tomorrow most likely.

Why would you walk around the truck? If you are missing something major (tires, lights, doors) you'll have to let someone know about it, what you don't know can't hurt you. Just get in and go, if there are no sparks flying you're good. If you do see sparks flying you may need to adjust your mirrors so that you don't see them.

 

Found this good read by accident today.
