The pre-trip inspection is a knowledge test to see if the customer understands which features and equipment on the test vehicle should be inspected before operating the vehicle. The entire pre-trip must be conducted in the English language. This is pursuant to Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulations ยงยง391.11 (b)(2) and 383.133 (c)(5). You will be warned twice for speaking in a foreign language during the pre-trip inspection and will not be given credit for items checked and explained in a foreign language. If you are told a third time the test will be counted as a failure.
A pre-trip inspection should be done the same way each time so you will learn all the steps and be less likely to forget something during the test.
