Daily Inspection (Fluids)

In this video, I review with you the importance of performing daily inspections on your truck, specifically fluids. This should be done every morning before starting your day. Throughout your shift, listen for concerning noises and watch for anything on the truck that may be a problem. 

Why this matters
Operate more professionally.
Taking care of your equipment can go a long way. 
Depending on the fluid, it can do serious damage to the truck.
If the truck breaks down, then you can’t work.\
