  • After passing inspection, take Form SS-14 "Authorization to Issue School Bus License Plates" to any Motor Vehicle Agency to purchase license plates and registration.

Biannual inspection

Vehicles registered for school transportation are inspected twice a year. View a sample inspection checklist [213k pdf].

If you cannot make your scheduled inspection, you must notify the School Bus Inspection Unit in writing at least 24 hours prior to the inspection. Fax all notifications to (609) 984-9532

Any vehicle used to transport school children must comply with the inspection requirements, certified by displaying the MVC issued inspection sticker. If you do not display the sticker, your vehicle is subject to penalties and fines.

CDL Pre-Trip Inspection Checklist

Studying this Class-A CDL pre-trip inspection checklist is an important part of truck driver training. Before getting your Class-A CDL and finding an entry level truck driving job , most states will require students to pass a DOT (department of transportation) pre-trip inspection test and a general knowledge test .

Each company’s pre-trip inspection varies slightly. Most likely you will have to do the coupling system, light check and in-cab inspections plus one of the remaining three sections.

Pre Trip Inspection Checklist

There are many sections to learn but the test is not as difficult as it may seem. Studying our simplified Class-A pre-trip inspection checklist and taking classes at your local CDL training school will get you prepared.

Engine Compartment

Driver door fuel area, coupling area, light check, in-cab inspection and brake tests, belt driven alternator, belt driven water pump, brake chamber, brake lining, caste nuts and cotter pins, coolant reservoir, gear box and hoses, gear driven air compressor, gear driven power steering pump.

  • General Hoses

Leaf Springs

Power steering fluid reservoir, shock absorber, slack adjuster and push rod, spring hanger, steering column, what to check for:.

When checking the engine compartment, you will always want to make sure the following components are properly mounted and secured. You should also make sure they are not cracked, bent or broken. The items you will need to check for include:

  • Make sure all of the wires are connected. The belt should not be cracked or frayed and the free play on the belt should be between ½ to ¾ of an inch.
  • The free play on the belt should be between ½ to ¾ of an inch. Also check all the hoses running to and from the water pump to make sure nothing is leaking.
  • The brake chamber should not be leaking air.
  • The brake drum should be properly mounted and secure.
  • The brake hose is rubber, so it is important to make sure it is not leaking air.
  • Check for oil or debris on the lining. There should be at least ¼ of an inch of friction material.
  • Make sure all three caste nuts and cotter pins are present.
  • The reservoir should not leaking and must be filled to the manufacturer’s specifications.
  • Make sure the drag link is properly mounted and secure, and not cracked, bent or broken.
  • The gear box and hoses should have no abrasions, bulges or cuts, and should not be leaking.
  • Although the air compressor is hard to see, you must make sure it is properly mounted and does not leak.
  • The steering pump is located in the same place as the air compressor and is also gear driven. Ensure the steering pump is not leaking.

General Hoses (Passenger and Driver’s Side)

  • The hoses should be secure at both ends. There should be no abrasions, bulges or cuts. Fluids run through these hoses, so it is important to make sure they are not leaking.
  • The hub seal (or axle seal) should not be leaking and should be filled to the manufacturer’s specifications.
  • Make sure none of the leaf springs have shifted.
  • Check for leaks under the truck.
  • There should be no lug nuts missing. Look for rust trails, powder residue and cracks around the bolt holes.

  • The spring hanger should be properly mounted and secure.
  • Make sure the steering column is properly mounted and secure. It should not be cracked, bent or broken.
  • Look for abrasions, bulges or cuts on the tread or sidewalls. Tread depth should have a depth no less than 4/32 of an inch. Tires must be properly filled to the manufacturer’s specifications. This can be checked with an air gauge.

  • Both sides of the truck
  • Rear of the truck
  • Both sides of the trailer
  • Rear of the trailer

Back to top of Trailer

The five functions are:

  • Left turn signal
  • Right turn signal

  • Brake lights

Back to top of Light Check

  • Airbrake Test

Air Pressure Gauges

Emergency equipment, heater and defroster, lighting indicators, oil pressure gauge, parking brake, service brake check, water temperature gauge, windshield and mirrors, windshield wipers and washers.

The last section is In-Cab Inspection and Brake Tests. For the In-Cab Inspection you will once again want to make sure all of the following components are properly mounted and secure. As well as the following:

Air Brake Test

There are three stages to an air brake test:

  • Applied Pressure Test – When doing the Applied Pressure Test, you will want to build the air pressure to governor cut out. Put the truck in the lowest gear, turn the engine off and immediately turn it back on. Push in the tractor and trailer valves which will then release the parking brakes. Push and hold the brake pedal, allowing the gauges to stabilize. When the gauges have stabilized, announce the Primary and Secondary PSI. Listen for air leaks while doing this.
  • Warning Light and Buzzer – Pump down on the brake pedal until the warning light and buzzer comes on. This is typically at or before 60 PSI.
  • Tractor/Trailer Protection Valve Pop Out – Pump down on the brake pedal until the tractor and trailer protection valves pop out, this will be between 20 and 40 PSI.
  • The air pressure gauges should build to governor cut out.
  • Your truck should have a fire extinguisher, three red reflective triangles and spare electrical fuses.
  • Demonstrate both the heater and defroster are working properly.

Horns (Air Horn and City Horn)

  • Blow both horns to make sure they are working.
  • Check the left turn, right turn, four way flashers and high beams; also point these out on the dashboard.
  • Make sure transmission is in neutral and then fully depress the clutch. Turn the key on, check the ABS light, announce when it comes on and off, and start the engine.
  • The seat belt should not be ripped or frayed and should adjust and latch properly.
  • The engine oil pressure gauge should rise to normal operating range.
  • Trailer Parking Brakes – Set the trailer brake, release the tractor brake, then tug lightly on the trailer.
  • Tractor Parking Brakes – Set the tractor brake, release the trailer brake and tug lightly on the trailer.
  • Release both the tractor and trailer brakes. Drive at idle speed. Apply the service brake to make sure you come to a complete stop and that it doesn’t pull to the left or right when applying the brakes.
  • The voltmeter should be charging between 13 and 14 volts.
  • The water temperature gauge should also rise to normal operating range.
  • The windshield and mirrors must be clean, with no obstructions and in proper adjustment.
  • Demonstrate the wipers and washers are working properly by spraying the windshield.

Back to top of In-Cab Inspection and Brake Tests

During a CDL pre-trip inspection, truckers inspect many aspects of their commercial vehicle, including the overall safety of the vehicle; major hoses, fluid levels, and vehicle belts; the clutch or gear shift; and emergency equipment. The driver demonstrates their knowledge by walking around the vehicle, checking various safety components and explaining why each part should be checked for safety.
