Written inspection reports must be completed daily by the drivers of which vehicles?
- Buses and school buses
- Trucks or truck-tractors towing a trailer whose licensed GVW is greater than 8,200 kg
- Two-axle trucks or truck-tractors whose licensed GVW is greater than 14,600 kg
- All of the above ✓
Answer: D. All of the above
All of the above: buses and school buses, two-axle trucks or truck-tractors over 14,600 kg licensed GVW, and trucks or truck-tractors towing a trailer over 8,200 kg licensed GVW.
Why this is the answer
The handbook lists three groups that must file daily written inspection reports: buses and similar passenger vehicles with seating over 10 including the driver; two-axle trucks or truck-tractors above 14,600 kg licensed GVW; and trucks or truck-tractors pulling a trailer above 8,200 kg licensed GVW. Because each listed vehicle type appears in that requirement, the answer that includes all of them is correct.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Buses and school buses — Buses and school buses are covered, but this choice alone leaves out the two truck and trailer categories that also require daily written reports.
- B. Trucks or truck-tractors towing a trailer whose licensed GVW is greater than 8,200 kg — The trailer-over-8,200 kg category is covered, but this choice alone leaves out buses and the two-axle truck category.
- C. Two-axle trucks or truck-tractors whose licensed GVW is greater than 14,600 kg — The two-axle truck-over-14,600 kg category is covered, but this choice alone leaves out buses and the trailer-towing category.
Remember it
Use a three-part memory: passenger bus, big two-axle truck, truck with big trailer.
