Choosing a course

Pre-trip or trip inspection - which course do drivers need?

Both of these are built to National Safety Code Standard 13 and both sell heavily, which is why drivers and dispatchers regularly ask which one they were told to take. Daily Trip Inspection is the longer-selling of the two and covers completing the inspection report; Daily Pre-Trip Inspection is the walk-around itself, including air brakes and defect handling.

How this is ordered. By what On-Track customers actually bought over the last twelve months, not by our opinion of them. The first one listed is the one most people take.

What actually separates them

  • Both are $89.99 with a 36-month certificate.
  • Daily Trip Inspection covers conducting and documenting the inspection to Standard 13.
  • Daily Pre-Trip Inspection is video-led and covers the walk-around, air brakes and what to do with a defect.
  • Carriers commonly want both on file. If a client has named one, take that one.

Still not sure which one?

Call 1-800-440-6650. We audit these programmes for a living, so we would rather spend five minutes telling you which course your certifying partner or your client actually wants than sell you the wrong one.

Training more than one person?

A corporate account is free, takes 20 percent off for the first three months, and keeps every certificate and expiry date in one place. Buying Daily Trip Inspection Training seats one at a time costs more and tracks nothing.
