Vehicle Maintenance BASIC

About the Training

The Vehicle Maintenance BASIC often climbs because drivers skip thorough pre-trip inspections and defects get found at roadside instead. This training connects inspection discipline to the score and shows how preventive maintenance keeps it down.

What You'll Learn

  • Identify the violations that feed the Vehicle Maintenance BASIC
  • Use thorough pre-trip inspections to catch defects before roadside
  • Explain how neglected inspections drive up the score
  • Apply a preventive maintenance approach that lowers violations
