Mississippi Trucking Wreck or Accident – Truck Driver’s Pre-Trip Inspection
by Jay Foster, Mississippi Trucking Wreck Attorney
Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations 392.7
Title 49, Section 392.7 of the Code of Federal Regulations has certain pre-trip inspection requirements. For example, before an 18-wheeler or truck can be driven on the road, a truck driver has a duty to inspect the truck to make sure certain parts and accessories actually work. The truck driver must make sure that the brakes work, including the parking brake, the lights work, the tires are okay, the horn works, and other safety devices.
Since 18-wheelers are on the road so much, this inspection is required for safety. It helps prevents trucking accidents or wrecks involving 18-wheelers which could cause serious injuries.
