J. J. Keller's all-new Driver Vehicle Inspections: The Complete Process is a video-based driver training program that covers a standard procedure for doing each of three types of inspections:

1. Pre-Trip (FMCSR Sec. 392.7 and 396.13)
2. On-the-Road (FMCSR Sec. 392.9)
3. Post-Trip (FMCSR Sec. 396.11)

Driver Vehicle Inspections: The Complete Process goes beyond a typical overview of the inspection process. This training program ...

* Shows detailed (touch and point) aspects of a thorough, seven-step pre-trip inspection.
* Places greater emphasis on inspection habits and routines to ensure drivers cover everything.
* Explains the critical importance of the driver's vehicle inspection report (DVIR), what purposes it serves, and why it shouldn't be neglected.
* Addresses the results missed inspection points can create (accidents, violations, fines, etc.).
* Includes detailed information on on-the-road and post-trip inspections
* Includes a special segment on driver inspection of intermodal chassis -the only video of its kind to do this.

The Driver Vehicle Inspections DVD includes a wide range of added features!
