Pre-Trip Vehicle Inspection VR Training Program Overview
A driver can make sure their vehicle is safe and operates efficiently by conducting proper vehicle inspections. This task is a regulatory requirement for drivers of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs).
Vehicle inspections can help drivers find mechanical problems before they cause a breakdown or accident. This can help them avoid costly on-the-road repairs as well as delays in deliveries.
A thorough inspection can also help drivers avoid citations and out-of-service orders during a roadside inspection.
This training program is designed to allow learners to practice and then demonstrate proficiency in completing various pre-trip inspection processes.
