This seminar will show your drivers - step by step, part by part - how to inspect their vehicles.  Proper vehicle inspections can reduce the chances of accidents and breakdowns ... and their resulting costs.

Makes a strong case for vehicle inspections by reminding drivers that they and their company suffer from accidents and breakdowns.  Walks drivers through a seven-step inspection process from the engine to the cab to the brakes.  Reminds drivers of applicable DOT regulations.  It stresses the importance of checking things in the same order every time to reduce the chance of forgetting something, and reminds drivers to fill out the DVIR each time, as well.
