Vehicle Inspection Guide
SECTION 2 — VEHICLE INSPECTION GUIDE
Introduction
A pre-trip inspection, in accordance with Commercial Driver’s
License (CDL) regulations, the Department of Transportation
(DOT) and state regulations, is absolutely necessary before
you can begin the first route of the day. The routine can vary
from bus to bus, but it is essential to have a routine and follow
it. The following inspections may include checks that are in
addition to the CDL requirements.
If the pre-trip inspection
reveals a problem, report it to the service department or a
qualified technician so that it can be repaired before operating
the vehicle.
After returning from your daily routes, you must complete a
written inspection report in accordance with CDL regulations.
Report any faults that you find, or any problems that occurred
during your trip, to the service department so that they can be
repaired before the next trip.
NOTE: Make sure your bus is in proper operating condition
to keep the passengers safe.
NOTE: The driver’s window cannot be unlocked from the
outside.
NOTE: If the buzzers do not activate with the ignition turned
ON and the emergency exits open, have the vehicle repaired
before placing the vehicle in service.
NOTE: Make sure that every emergency exit door and
release bar is not blocked.
NOTE: The following illustrations are for reference only and
