Daily trip inspections are a critical safety measure for commercial drivers and fleet operators. A thorough inspection helps identify potential issues before they lead to accidents, vehicle breakdowns, or regulatory violations. Under NSC Standard 13, drivers must perform these inspections at least every 24 hours, ensuring their vehicles are in safe operating condition.
The Daily Trip Inspection Training course equips drivers with the knowledge needed to conduct thorough pre-trip inspections, recognize defects, and comply with regulatory standards. Upon completion, participants receive a QR Code-enabled certificate for instant verification.
