Title: "Quick Daily Truck Check: Ensuring Safety on the Road"

Introduction:
Every truck driver understands the importance of performing a daily check before hitting the road. A quick yet thorough inspection can significantly enhance safety, prevent breakdowns, and ensure compliance with regulations. In this article, we will outline the essential components of a daily truck check that every driver should follow.

Exterior Inspection:
Start your daily truck check by inspecting the exterior components. Walk around the vehicle and visually examine the tires for any signs of damage or excessive wear. Check the lights, including headlights, taillights, turn signals, and brake lights, to ensure they are functioning properly. Inspect the mirrors for any cracks or misalignment. Lastly, verify that the vehicle's body is in good condition, free from dents or loose parts.

Engine Compartment:
Open the hood and inspect the engine compartment. Check the fluid levels, including engine oil, coolant, and windshield washer fluid. Look for any leaks or signs of damage in hoses, belts, and wiring. Verify that the battery terminals are clean and secure. Make sure there are no obstructions in the air intake and that the radiator is clear of debris.

Cabin Check:
Enter the truck's cabin and examine the interior components. Adjust the seat and mirrors for proper visibility. Check the functioning of the controls, such as the steering wheel, brakes, accelerator, and clutch (if applicable). Ensure that the windshield wipers, defroster, and HVAC system are in good working order. Inspect the safety equipment, including seat belts and fire extinguisher, to ensure they are accessible and functional.
