    One thing the DOT inspector will verify is that the truck has a working fire extinguisher.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The DOT inspector will verify that the truck has a working fire extinguisher because it is a safety requirement for commercial vehicles. In the event of a fire, having a fire extinguisher readily available can help prevent the situation from escalating and potentially causing harm to the driver, passengers, or other vehicles on the road. It is important for commercial trucks to be equipped with necessary safety measures to ensure the well-being of everyone on the road.

    What is one thing that the inspector will look for while inspecting the front tire?

    • Brand of tire

    • That the valve stem has decorative tires

    • Broken or missing lugs

    • That the truck has chrome lug nut covers

    Correct Answer
    A. Broken or missing lugs
    Explanation
    During the inspection of the front tire, the inspector will specifically check for broken or missing lugs. Lugs are the metal bolts that secure the tire to the wheel hub, and if any of them are broken or missing, it can pose a safety risk. Therefore, it is crucial for the inspector to ensure that all lugs are intact and in proper condition.

    While inspecting the trailer, the sliding tandems can be inspected for proper alignment and position.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because while inspecting a trailer, it is important to check the sliding tandems for proper alignment and position. The sliding tandems refer to the set of wheels on a trailer that can be adjusted to distribute weight properly. If the tandems are not aligned or positioned correctly, it can lead to stability issues and uneven weight distribution, which can be dangerous while driving. Therefore, inspecting the sliding tandems for proper alignment and position is crucial to ensure the safety and stability of the trailer.

    • True

    • False

    What should the driver do in the event that the air pressure in the trucks air system falls below 90 PSI

    • Notify the inspector as soon as possible

    • Start the truck to build air pressure

    • Nothing

    • Release the parking brake

    Correct Answer
    A. Notify the inspector as soon as possible
    Explanation
    In the event that the air pressure in the truck's air system falls below 90 PSI, the driver should notify the inspector as soon as possible. This is important because a low air pressure can affect the braking system of the truck, making it unsafe to drive. By notifying the inspector, they can take appropriate action to address the issue and ensure the truck is safe to operate. Starting the truck to build air pressure or releasing the parking brake may not be sufficient solutions, as they do not address the underlying problem of low air pressure.

    A. Company official must sign and mail verification of repairs made
    Explanation
    After repairs are made, it is necessary for a company official to sign and mail a verification of the repairs. This step ensures that there is documented proof of the repairs being completed, which is important for record-keeping and accountability purposes. It also serves as a confirmation that the repairs were done according to the required standards and regulations. This verification can be used as evidence in case of any future disputes or claims related to the repairs.

    The repairs must be made before the truck is moved because an out of service violation means that the truck is not safe to operate. It is important to address the violation immediately to ensure the safety of the driver, other road users, and the cargo being transported. Therefore, the repairs should be completed before the truck is moved to prevent any potential accidents or further damage.

    Explanation
    The statement is false because during an inspection, the driver is required to stay in the truck. This is to ensure that the driver is present and able to provide any necessary information or documentation to the inspector. Additionally, staying in the truck allows the driver to address any concerns or questions that may arise during the inspection process.

    • 55 PSI

    • 90 PSI

    • 65 PSI

    • 60 PSI

    Correct Answer
    A. 55 PSI
    Explanation
    The low air warning or buzzer should be activated at a minimum level of 55 PSI. This is the point at which the air pressure in the system is considered low enough to require immediate attention and action. Activating the warning at this level ensures that the driver is alerted to the potential danger of low air pressure and can take necessary measures to address the issue before it becomes a safety concern.

This means that if a commercial vehicle has a non out of service violation, the repairs must be made before the truck is sent out for its next load. This ensures that the vehicle is in proper working condition and does not pose any safety risks while on the road.
