Cevap
Within the first 50 miles after beginning the trip, and subsequently every 3 hours or 150 miles, or whenever a change of duty status occurs
Commercial motor vehicle regulations require a driver to inspect the cargo and securement devices within the first 50 miles after beginning a trip. Subsequent en-route inspections must be performed at least every 3 hours or 150 miles (whichever comes first), and whenever the driver makes a change of duty status or takes a break.
