driver knowledge
Just wondering what is the norm for most trucking companies in terms of what they expect you know about the truck technical or mechanical wise ?

A driver should have the knowledge to spot any problems when doing a pre trip, but then report the problem to the company and have the mechanics fix it. If you spot a problem that would make the truck unsafe, DO NOT drive it until it's fixed, no matter how much your boss or dispatcher tells you to. Your life, your CDL, and the lives of others on the road are all at stake.
