Introduction
Before operating a bus, you must first always perform a pretrip. A pretrip is when you drive the bus and make sure that all the essentials and in the bus perform to its best abilities. A routine is necessary for your routes so that you can be aware of what your route consists of.
Federal Guidelines – According to Guideline 17 from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), “School bus drivers should be required to perform daily pre-trip inspections of their vehicle, and safety equipment thereon (especially fire extinguishers), and to report promptly in writing any problems discovered that may affect the safety of the vehicle’s operation or result in its mechanical breakdown.”
After all daily routes are completed you must fill out a report (inspection) reporting any problems or faults so that the service department can repair your bus before the next trip.
