Brief description of your daily Pre-Trip

I will be honest! I do minor services at 20k miles at 40k miles minor/major service. I have everything set up for the next million miles, like I know how long that light bulb should last or the tires unless are random blow out. I just update my data on equipment.

So, my real daily pre-trip is after my first hundred miles more or less each day when I’m at the fuel pump filling up. Walking around double checking shit, also within the first hundred miles the truck will speak to me something might pop up in the dash if nothing. All good.

so yeah 15 minutes at the pre & post trips marked on the logs. In reality each day I just check my 5th wheel/landing gear, kingpin, review lugs/tags/stickers/plates, caps & all the lights.. 5 minutes or less. Easy peasy.
