Bus Rookie here. I have been reading and learning the past couple weeks. All I can say is WOW. Drinking from a fire hose for sure.

Anyway, back to the basics. Like everyone, I am always concerned with safety and reliability. My biggest fear is a breakdown on the side of an interstate. Excellent care and maintenance are top of the list to minimize the risk of that happening.

However, does the POG have a walk around checklist (much like an airplane preflight checklist)? I searched and found some items but not a complete list.

So far:
1. Check engine fluids
2. Commercial Air Brake Test
3. Chock wheels, release parking break, walk around bus listening for air leaks
4. Check tire pressures and overall tire condition
5. Radiator Fan - spin and check for roughness and noise

I am sure other important checks are needed.

Thoughts?
