Three-minute pre-trip that cut breakdowns

We cut roadside incidents 22% last quarter by standardizing a three-minute pre-trip: tire pressure glance (we target 95 PSI on vans), lights, mirrors, seatbelt latch, and a quick brake bite in the lot before roll-out at 5:30 a.m… If you want the one-page checklist I give new drivers — or if you’ve got a faster routine that still protects safety — tell me what’s working and I’ll share ours.

We shaved time by using 95 PSI color TPMS valve caps so the 5:30 a.m. tire check is truly a glance; we still verify cold with a gauge every Monday. > the one-page checklist I give new drivers — or if you’ve got a faster routine that still “Agree on the timing — this kept it to three minutes, but cheap caps fog in rain, so use the metal ones.”.
