Awesome thanks big time man, you guys are a friendly bunch of this website!

Oh ok, so regardless if we are team trucking, we always have to do this inspection, to make sure we do not endanger ourselves or others going down the road even if my teamate turn to drive he has to do the PTI. I got it now :) .

I'm going to Iowa to there company school. What date are you heading up there? I may see you. I noticed some of the info about there school on here may be out dated. Like they have there own school now. It cost nothing up front. They also provide meals ( Breakfast and lunch monday-friday) as well as a $40.00 meal stipend. I can forward someone the details if the need it for an updated.

Thanks for the replys guys!

Also I read in my Georgia CDL manual that 15 minutes has to be taken to do the pre-trip inspection so that it shows on records I have done it? So when people look back on my log I guess they can see I took 15 minutes out of my 14hrs to do the pre-trip-inspection? I'm confused a bout that part greatly, because why can't I check my load (PTI) then start my clock?...

I bet i'm going to annoy a bunch of people with my rookie questions.

Also i'd like to add again that i'm going to be team trucking for CRST hopfully (Thats the plan at least for the first year of my trucking career till I can get a flatbed company).

I'm heading too crst on the 28th of next month, I also live in Ga in Ringgold. I have my cdl-b so I got a good bit of knowledge with the pre trip and post trip. I would say do it for safety. Better safe than sorry
