A Truck Daily Pre-Start Inspection is a mandatory safety check conducted by the driver or operator before the truck is used each day (or at the start of each shift). Its purpose is to help ensure that the vehicle is safe to operate, roadworthy, and compliant with Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) and workplace safety requirements. This is also a key element in Chain of Responsibility (CoR) compliance, as both drivers and employers have duties to prevent unsafe vehicles from being driven.
