Why Mid-Trip Inspections Are Important
The main purpose of a mid-trip inspection is to help ensure the safety, reliability, and functionality of your truck and cargo. Mid-trip inspections can help identify vehicle issues including worn brake pads, low tire pressure, or fuel system leaks. To prevent these issues from growing into even bigger problems, it’s important to catch these signs early.

A thorough mid-trip inspection covers all aspects of your vehicle, including:

• Tires
  Ensure proper pressure and tread depth, and spot damage or wear early.
• Brakes
  Test the entire system for performance, functionality, safety, and compliance.
• Fluids

Look out for oil, coolant, and other fluid leaks, or signs of contamination.

• Electrical System
  Verify that the battery, alternator, wiring, connectors, lights, and signals are functioning.
• Suspension

Detect any damage or malfunction in the shocks and other suspension components.

• Cargo

Be sure your vehicle’s cargo is secured properly to avoid safety hazards on the road.

Look for Warning Signs
Vigilant professional truck drivers learn to look out for any signs that their vehicle needs extra attention. Warning signs can sometimes indicate you need a mid-trip inspection even sooner than you expected. Look out for unusual noises, vibrations, or changes in vehicle performance or functionality. Take note of any warning lights that appear on your dashboard, as they may indicate what needs to be inspected. Also be aware of any unusual odors or smoke from the engine or exhaust. Any of these warning signs could mean it’s time to schedule services or repairs to address potentially detrimental symptoms.
