Pre-Trip Inspection Checklists by Vehicle

Unofficial sheets for checking a truck, bus, trailer or car part by part, to print blank or mark on screen.

These are unofficial practice sheets for a pre-trip inspection. No page is a government website, and no sheet is a state's, an examiner's or an employer's form or a record of an inspection.

More about these tools

On the tractor-trailer, straight truck, passenger bus and federal school bus sheets a partner types 1 for each part the speaker leaves out. On the others a 1 marks a defect found or a requirement not met. The key under every sheet says which.

Every row is a part or condition a published rule names: Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations on most sheets, the federal construction rule for a dump body, and the state's own school bus rule on the California, Illinois, Ohio and Washington sheets. The list under each sheet gives the section. A part those rules do not name has no row, and no sheet prints a pass mark.
