Single unit truck pre-trip inspection — Class 3

The next pages detail the suggested pre-trip inspection of a truck with air
brakes.
You should be able to complete this pre-trip inspection in less than
30 minutes.
If the truck you’re using is equipped with air brakes, you must demonstrate
your ability to set up a slack adjuster during your pre-trip inspection test. Refer
to chapter 9, air brake adjustment for more information.

Before you begin:

• set the parking brakes
• shut off the engine
• block the wheels.
