In this practical hands-on course, students will learn how to conduct pre-trip inspections of commercial vehicles. The Pre-Trip Inspection is a thorough inspection of a commercial vehicle and its major systems before driving each day. Canada’s National Safety Code (NSC) requires most commercial drivers to complete trip inspections. If you are applying for a Class 1, 2, or 3 licence, a heavy trailer endorsement, or an air brake endorsement, you will need to conduct a pre-trip inspection. The pre-trip inspection part of your road test is your opportunity to show that you know how, when, and why you must complete a trip inspection. Under the NSC, pre-trip inspections must always be completed before the first run of the day. The pre-trip inspection must be logged in your logbook as "on duty not driving."
