I must have missed this "requirement". I also never registered for selective service. Man oh man am I a rebel.
no checklist, because it makes no difference. within the pretrip, the beginning step, is reviewing and signing off on the DVIR (vehicle report) stating that the vehicle is in proper order with no safety issues. this goes to the mechanic in the PM and they review the same and sign off. When you sign off the DVIR you awknowledge this.hThis is not entirely accurate. The only time the mechanic will sign off on the DVIR is if there are any write-ups, otherwise the driver will sign off the following morning. The driver signing off is acknowledging one of two things: 1, that there were no write-ups or, 2, that any write ups were repaired and/or signed off by the mechanic.
100% right, I was in a rush when I posted that before going to work and misspoke or left out some info . The mechanic will obviously not go check out and sign off every truck that has no problems My experience is the mechanics sift through the signed off DVIRS and find problems, then check them out, and sign off the DVIR they addressed them/corrected problem or took the truck off the road. If there were no issues the day before, you're pretripping and signing off the vehicle is ready to go.
$255 is kinda expensive for work boots. I'm sure you can find a similarly "good" pair for way cheaper. Don't forget, Mama needs money for diapers and milk.Ok so it looks like I will be going to integrad soon, and I hear they are pretty strict on the footwear there. So I was wondering if anyone who has been could tell me if they think Danner boots will be acceptable and will function ok for the school.
Thanks for any help guys.
Yep they will work if you can loose the price tag and the green laces.$255 is kinda expensive for work boots. I'm sure you can find a similarly "good" pair for way cheaper. Don't forget, Mama needs money for diapers and milk.
Here's the DOT pretrip I put together a while ago. You will have to know pretty much 100% so get friendly. This is probably not 100% but close, maybe 95.
Entering vehicle: check door open/locked position, closes and opens.
inspect interior lights front and back (if appliciable),
verify bulkhead opens/closes and locks properly.
view hazmat pouch.
look for up to date/ year safety response book and registration.
fire ext and flares
sitting down
look through DVIR. review yesterday and sign off
fasten seatbelt. key in ignition. test seatbelt unfasten- refasten
test seat slide, horn, wipers, lights, highbeams, defrost.
turn on vehicle.
check gauges, gas .
test ebrake and reg brakes pulling forward. reverse and turn on rear camera, test reverse cam and reverse lights.
step outside vehicle holding hand rail, key in pinky, lights on
Outside driver side:
inspect side mirrors.
inspect drver side door open/close/ hold.
test steering wheel play
z-scan , look for DOT decal, vehicle #, reflectors.
inspect tires for tread, sidewall, hubs and valve stem.

I agree. You don't want too much weight on your feet because by the end of the day your ankles, feet and legs will be screaming at you.They are also pretty heavy at 62oz.
And they wonder why you're over 9.5 everyday! That's about 45 minutes AM time right there!
Takes me about 1 minute 45 seconds, though you could probably milk it for 4-5 minutes.
One of these days when I am in a bad mood, I'm going to pre-trip the car, take it to the shop, and refuse to take the route on the road because the fire extinguisher is not certified. Never once in 10 years have I seen a "tagged" extinguisher, meaning it's been inspected and is OK for service.
Let us know how that works out for you.
B, though that still is quite a bit of money for a part timer. Want me to send you a gift card?Ok so to get a few more opinions which of these two do you guys think would work out better and be acceptable at integrad?
