Heavy Truck Inspection Checklist

This heavy truck inspection checklist helps drivers and safety teams verify compliance and road readiness. Cover administrative and legal requirements like licenses, registration, insurance, and training. Confirm safety essentials including PPE, MSDS binder, health and safety manual, first aid kit, fire extinguisher, and water management tools. Inspect interior cleanliness, instrument panel indicators, windshields, and mirrors. Check exterior and mechanical items: service date, belts, hoses, brakes, fluid levels, leaks, lights, signals, horn, steering, alignment, tires, and wipers. Review cargo and equipment storage, lean organization, and capture photos. If towing, validate trailer connection, brakes, cargo security, lights, springs, straps, tires, and platform integrity. Includes driver and QHSE sign-off fields.
