Web Exclusive: Q&A With Creator of Pre-Trip Inspection DVD School bus drivers have so much to think about aside from ensuring the safety of
hundreds of students during their drive to school and home each day. Safety is priority No. 1, but second to that is conducting a proper and thorough pre- and post-trip inspection. Greg Beaverson knows all too well about these inspections, as he became a school bus driver in 1996 but recently produced a new training DVD titled “CDL Pre-Trip Inspection” that documents each detailed process. Visit our home page or visit
www.stnonline.com/go/863 to read a Q&A with STN Editor Ryan Gray on the making of the DVD and why Beaverson only covers the pre-trip inspection.
