[QUOTE="Cowboy Mac, post: 5584541, member: 59074"] Yeah good luck with that. Here I was told in training that to pre trip a tractor should take 7 minutes. Okay. Sometimes I can do that and be thorough, sometimes it takes me 10-15 if I can’t find the tractor or if it is an older one with no light test button, or takes a long time to build air. They told me that to pre trip a single should take about 15 minutes and to build a set should take 32 minutes. The single is no problem, but the set usually takes me about 45 minutes to an hour depending on many factors. DOT says the driver shall satisfy himself with the condition of the equipment.
