Texas Pre-Trip Inspection Guide

To avoid being caught in his incontestably poor business ethic. Here is a copy. 

HOW TO PASS THE TXDPS PRE – TRIP

The examiner is looking for you to identify the part on the truck you are inspecting. You should be able to identify
each part and tell the examiner exactly in detail what you are looking for or inspecting. Why…?
1) To insure you know the name of the part & point out where the point is located.
2) The condition of the part you are inspecting & what you are looking for if it was damaged.
3) If the truck is safe to operate with the part in that condition.
*NOTE: You will need to bring with you the following 3 items with you on the training class day:
1) Pair of gloves (if you do not have a good pair of gloves we have new CAT gloves used in trucking $20)
2) Green laser pointer (if you do not have a “green” laser pointer we have them for sale for $20)
3) IMPORTANT >>> Print off a copy of this Pre-Trip form & bring it with you when you come to the Pre-Trip
training class. (if you forget to bring a copy we will have copies available for $20 per copy)
There are ninety (90) points when inspecting a truck & trailer. You must score a minimum of 68 out of the 90
to advance on to the next part of the test which is the backing. The examiner is looking for specific “keywords”
on each item you are inspecting to score the point on the part you are inspecting. You have thirty (30) minutes
on the pre-trip to complete it. It is best to complete it within fifteen to twenty (15-20) minutes. The backing
must be completed within thirty (30) minutes. Your road test is timed to one (1) hour. The practical test consists
of the Pre-Trip, Backing & on the road driving. You have two (2) hours to complete all 3 parts of the road test.
You will choose 1 of 4 cards which will determine where you will begin the pre-trip on the truck:
Card A: You will inspect the engine compartment & couplings.
Card B: You will inspect from the door of the passenger side to the rear of the trailer.
Card C: You will inspect from the door of the driver side to the rear of the trailer.
Card D: You will be required to inspect the whole truck from the engine compartment to the rear of the trailer.
