What you need to know about the Pre-Trip Inspection Course

Jerit Justin • July 8, 2021

If you are preparing for a career in the trucking industry, you may already know that pre-trip inspections are necessary. But you might not know what they involve, or really why they are important. At Trukademy, we offer an excellent Pre-Trip Inspection Course. And here are a few things that you should know about it.

Why Pre-Trip Inspections are important

This course will teach you why pre-trip inspections are important. Inspecting your vehicle and cargo is more than just an exercise. It is important for both your safety and helping to ensure that you will not have mechanical problems during your route.

You will learn why pre-trip inspections are important to your safety, to the operation of your vehicle, and to the bottom line of your employer. (Even if that employer is yourself!).

What equipment will you be using?

While some parts of your pre-trip inspection may not require any special equipment at all, there are other parts that will require you to be familiar with some equipment. Some of the items that you will be using during the Pre-Trip Inspection Course are wheel blocks, as well as protective gear such as headwear and eyewear.

What exactly will you be inspecting?

A pre-trip inspection will require you to inspect a number of the mechanical features of your vehicle including brake chambers, brake drum and rotators, air lines, air tanks, and air compressors.

Do I have the time and money necessary to take this course?

At Trukademy, we realize that many of our students have other work and family obligations outside of their schooling. That is why we make it as easy as possible with flexible scheduling and financing options to take our courses.

If you would like to join the thriving trucking industry, we don’t want time and money to be the reason why you can’t. Contact us today to see what options are available to you. We can even help you learn more about government funding that may be available.
