Step 1: throw lunch box in cab and pre trip engine compartment.

Step 2: start engine to build air supply

Step 3: park personal vehicle and get dispatch papers for the day from office

Step 4: try not to get sucked in to deep of a conversation with a bunch of lonely truck drivers

Step 5: return to truck and build air supply in trailer next.

Step 6: pre trip truck and trailer ( check 18 tires, 18 brake cans and pads, lights, fifth wheel, suspension, listen for air leaks, and check load is secured properly for starters).

Step 7: forget step one through six and sit in cab for half an hour on the clock while scrolling Reddit.
