PRE-TRIP INSPECTION

Your driver tablet makes it super easy to log your state required safety inspection before leaving the bus lot.  

Let's walk through a Pre-Trip on your driver tablet:

After you confirm and select your bus number and routes, the first screen of your Pre-Trip Inspection is displayed on your tablet.

You can then head out to your bus.
