  12. VEHICLE INSPECTIONS Vehicle Inspections As a professional truck driver, you have a responsibility to yourself and the public. Before you begin your day, it is critical to conduct a thorough pre-trip inspection to ensure your vehicle is safe and ready for work. FMCSA Regulation: 392.7 Equipment, inspection and use. No commercial motor vehicle shall be driven unless the driver is satisfied that the following parts and accessories are in good working order, nor shall any driver fail to use or make use of such parts and accessories when and as needed: Service brakes, including trailer brake connections. Parking (hand) brake. Steering mechanism. Lighting devices and reflectors. Tires. Horn. Windshield wiper or wipers. Rear-vision mirror or mirrors. Coupling devices.

  13. VEHICLE INSPECTIONS Why We Do Inspections • Safety – We want you to be safe, and safety is directly affected by your equipment • Economy – Getting the most out of our equipment • Legality – If an accident or inspection occurs, defects fall on not only the company, but also driver • Avoid Breakdowns – No one wants to sit on the side of the road

  14. VEHICLE INSPECTIONS Vehicle Inspection Guide The Vehicle Inspection Guide is available to assist you. Contact your office staff for a guide.

  22. VEHICLE INSPECTIONS Pre-trip Inspection: Step Eight Passenger Side • Repeat steps four through six in reverse

  23. VEHICLE INSPECTIONS Pre-trip Inspection: Step Nine Cab Check • Interior lights: Properly functioning • Emergency equipment: Fire extinguisher, reflective triangles, extra fuses, accident kit with camera and emergency response guidebook if needed • Paperwork: Permit book, vehicle condition report book, correct bill of ladings • See next slide for complete cab-readiness list • Note: Then turn key switch to the “on” position and check warning systems before starting engine

  24. VEHICLE INSPECTIONS In-cab Readiness Details • Paper logbook: By law, even if a driver is running an electronic log, a paper log is required • Electronic logging book • Vehicle inspection book • Accident kit with camera • Permit book with current and necessary permits • Truck appearance is safe and free of clutter during both pre- and post-trip inspection

  25. VEHICLE INSPECTIONS Pre-trip Inspection: Step Nine Start Engine: Look • Air pressure between 120 and 130 psi • Charge indicator and oil pressure are normal • Windshield is clean, wipers and washer work, no cracks or chips that can turn into cracks • Mirror adjustment

  26. VEHICLE INSPECTIONS Pre-trip Inspection: Step Nine Start Engine: Listen • Unusual sounds: Shut down the engine if heard • Horns: Air and city

A continuous drop in air pressure is unsatisfactory (4 psi in one minute in combination vehicles) • Continue to pump brakes again • Low pressure warning systems come on by 55 psi • Tractor protection value pops out between 35-45 psi (30 psi is unsatisfactory)

  29. VEHICLE INSPECTIONS Pre-trip Inspection: Step Ten Certification of Inspection • If everything is found to be satisfactory and in good working order, sign the pre-trip portion of the Vehicle Condition Report • Telling the terminal manager or maintenance staff does not qualify as a write-up or certification

  30. VEHICLE INSPECTIONS Pre-trip Inspection Length • How long does a proper pre-trip inspection take to conduct? • There is no law stating how long a pre-trip inspection should to take: however, like everything else, log it as you do it • Based on the examples on the next slide, who did a proper pre-trip?

  31. VEHICLE INSPECTIONS Who Conducted a Proper Pre-trip Inspection? 37 second pre-trip 20 minute pre-trip In the example on the left, the driver will have a hard time explaining how a 10-step pre-trip was completed in four minutes during an audit, to a DOT officer or in court. Log it as you do it.

  32. VEHICLE INSPECTIONS Pre-trip Inspection Video We will now watch a video detailing the 10-step pre-trip inspection.

  33. SAFE WORKING Company Lost-Time Injury Results

  34. SAFE WORKING • Terminal Lost-Time Injury Results ***INSERT LT (LOST TIME) TERMINAL INFORMATION

  35. SAFE WORKING January2014 Injuries January 2014 Injuries: • 43 total • 21 medical • 22 lost time Top LT Claim Causes: • 11 slip/trip/fall • 5 strain/exertion • 3 motor vehicle Accidents • 2 exposure • 1 struck by/struck against

  36. SAFE WORKING Don’t Let This Happen To You EXAMPLE 1: The driver was aware that the bottom rung of the ladder on his trailer was missing. The driver used the ladder anyway, and forgot the rung was missing on the way down. The driver came down hard on his heel. As a result, the driver was out of work for more than two months and now walks with a limp that was not present prior to the accident. This could have easily been prevented had the equipment been written up and the driver maintained the Ruan Safety Pledge.

  37. SAFE WORKING Don’t Let This Happen To You EXAMPLE 2: A driver was traveling too fast going into a curve, lost control, struck another passenger vehicle and rolled the truck. Our driver suffered multiple injuries, including severe head trauma. The driver had a lengthy hospital stay, followed by a transfer to a long-term care facility before finally being allowed to return home with nurse-assisted care.  The driver continues to suffer from major cognitive deficits.It is likely that the driver will require lifetime care, and the driver likely faces permanent issues preventing a return to any form of work, plus the negative impact on regular, daily life.  This was preventable by slowing down for curves and ramps. Do not become complacent, and do not let this happen to you.

  38. SAFE WORKING • Don’t Let This Happen To You What happens when you are injured and can’t work? • Family life: Can you play ball with the kids, go fishing or watch their sporting events? • Loss of income: Work comp benefits are paid at a reduced rate (66 percent is the norm, depending each state law) • Long-term effects: Physical and emotional, plus additional stress on the family • Pain, surgery, medications, injections and multiple doctor visits • Physical therapy and rehabilitation • Vocational rehabilitation (retraining for another career). Can the individual perform the same job again? Will they ever be able to return to work? • You and your family can’t afford for you to be hurt

  39. SAFE WORKING Megasafe5 Rules of Working Safely • We want you to not only drive safely, but work safely as well. So next quarter, we’ll introduce the Megasafe5 Rules of Working Safely: • Rule 1 Prepare To Be Safe • Rule 2 Protect Yourself • Rule 3 Stay Safe While In Motion • Rule 4 Know Your Working Limits • Rule 5 Communicate

  40. SAFETY PLEDGE Remember Your Pledge • The Ruan Safety Pledge was created to ensure all Ruan associates perform their job safely and are personally responsible for safety. • If you signed the Safety Pledge, it is your responsibility to abide by its seven principles—they are designed to keep you, your co-workers and the motoring public safe • You are the Captain of the Ship. The Safety Pledge empowers you to do the right thing • How can this apply to you? • If you can’t safely and legally do it - don’t do it • Speak out without fear if it’s not safe. We stand behind you • Conditions are too tight to maneuver at a customer without causing an accident…don’t do it. Call your terminal
