Visual inspection while
approaching the vehicle
Guidelines for visually inspecting your
vehicle.
While approaching the vehicle, inspect the
general appearance of the vehicle and its
surroundings for any signs of needed
attention.
NOTE
If equipped with a three-piece roof fair-
ing, DO NOT DRIVE WITH ROOF
FAIRING FOLDED DOWN, since the
marker lamps will not be effective in
that position.
Perform these basic inspection steps
before operating the vehicle.
1. Check the overall appearance and
condition. Are windows, mirrors,
and lights clean and unobstructed?
2. Check beneath the vehicle. Are
there signs of fuel, oil, or water
leaks?
3. Check for damaged, loose, or
missing parts. Are there parts
showing signs of excessive wear or
lack of lubrication? Have a qualified
mechanic examine any
questionable items and repair them
without delay.
4. Check your load. Is it secured
properly?
Daily Checks
A driver should perform these checks of
the vehicle daily, as a minimum.
NOTE
These checks are in addition to, not in
place of, Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulations. These regulations may
be purchased by writing to: Superin-
tendent of Documents U.S. Govern-
ment Printing Office Bookstore 710
North Capitol Street N.W. Washington,
DC 20402 or ContactCenter@gpo.gov.

chafing or rubbing. Make sure that
all clamps (straps) holding the
cables are present and in good
working order.
• Hood Latch
• Brake Lines and Hoses
• Steering Components - (pitman
arm, draglink, power steering
hoses, etc.).
• Hydraulic Clutch Fluid
Chassis and Cab Exterior
• Lights - are any exterior lights
cracked or damaged? Perform an
exterior light test using the dash
mounted switch next to the steering
wheel. What is the Exterior Lights
