From My Experience So Far As A Rookie
Topic 12037 | Page 5
My hang up is the logging but more important than that (to me) is 7 minutes for a pre trip. Look I move fairly quick on my pre trip but 7 minutes? Why bother.
I have yet do even a practice pre trip, lol... But yeah, before reading this thread, I just assumed, that a thorough one should take 30 minutes for a vet, and up to an hour for a rookie, until he/she gets a good grasp of how their truck,and the various trailers behaves.
I think u see what we have been getting at. A walk-around is something I do when I am on a break, fueling or at a stop. That's what Jeff's initial two posts referred to. Full pre-trip including in-can and brake checks, will take at least 45 minutes because when you take your practice and then take your test, everything you are checking and doing requires a full narration. That adds a lot of extra time.

That would be one HUGE can on wheels 
I learned to cuss from truckers but what is a DRAFT S. O.B?
When you say it like that it sounds like a tasty beer
