I always give a good look at the brake lines and hoses

I think the tires are often overlooked. You should always check the tire pressure, tread depth, and condition of the tires. A blowout can be very dangerous and costly. You should also check for any nails, cuts, or bulges in the tires.

I once overlooked the windshield wipers during a pre trip inspection. I thought they were fine, but I was wrong. It started raining hard on the highway and I turned them on. They made a horrible screeching noise and left streaks on the glass. I couldn’t see anything and almost crashed into another truck. I had to pull over and wait for the rain to stop. It was a nightmare. Now I always check the windshield wipers before I hit the road 🤷‍♂️

I think one thing that is often overlooked is the fifth wheel and the kingpin. You should always make sure they are properly greased, locked, and secured. You should also check for any cracks, bends, or damage. A loose or broken fifth wheel or kingpin can cause a trailer separation and a serious accident.

Tire pressure on the steers at the minimum, steer blowouts are extremely dangerous to everyone around you.

When you first pick up a trailer, peep in the bill box, make sure your trailer’s registration is both there and legible

Ice on top of your trailer; shit sucks when it flies and nails your truck.
