Pre-Trip Checklist Prompts

“Do you have your Port of Entry documents ready?”
→ Fuel permits, trip permits, and bill of lading should be available for inspection.

“Have you checked tire pressure for elevation changes?”
→ NM elevation varies from 3,000 to 7,500+ feet — pressure drops fast with cold and altitude.

“Do your lights, reflectors, and signs meet NM DOT standards?”
→ Oversize loads require proper signage and lighting — enforced strictly on state highways.
