  4. D
    Only when stopping to refuel the tractor or upon final delivery

Cevap

Every 3 hours or 150 miles, whichever comes first, and whenever taking a driving break
Federal commercial vehicle safety regulations require drivers to inspect the cargo and securement devices before starting a trip, within the first 50 miles of travel, and thereafter every 3 hours or 150 miles (whichever comes first), as well as every time the vehicle stops for a break.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the mandatory regulatory intervals for en-route cargo re-inspection.
Federal CDL safety rules establish that cargo must be inspected before driving, within the first 50 miles, and then every 3 hours or 150 miles (whichever occurs first) thereafter, as well as after every break.
Cargo can settle, shift, or loosen securement devices during transit due to vibrations and road forces.
2
Match the identified requirement against the available options.
The requirement specifying 3 hours or 150 miles along with duty breaks is the exact CDL standard.
Alternative time/mileage intervals either exceed safety limits or represent common driver misconceptions.
