About Pre Trip Inspection Class A
Pre Trip Inspection Class A is a mandatory safety inspection that is required for commercial vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of over 10,000 pounds. This is typically required for Class A vehicles such as long-haul tractor-trailers, combination vehicles, and other heavy-duty vehicles. The purpose of the Pre Trip Inspection is to ensure that the vehicle is in safe operating condition before it is used on public roads. It includes a thorough check of the vehicle's mechanics, as well as its safety features and accessories. The person who typically needs to complete the Pre Trip Inspection is the driver of the commercial vehicle. This is because it is their responsibility to ensure that the vehicle is in suitable condition for operation. However, employers may also have safety inspectors complete the inspection to ensure that the vehicle is well-maintained and meets all safety standards.
