      Sounds like an OHSA violation. Vehicles should be inspected daily before operation. Either they’re not paying for the required inspection or they’re telling the staff not to do that inspection. Either way the company is liable.

      I’d also consider that things like locking/securing the vehicle counts as work too. If the shift ends when the engine stops it’s getting left open until the next shift.

        Yeah pre-trip inspections are required in B.C. and Ontario before you move anywhere in a commercial vehicle, so it definitely is a part of the job that needs to be paid for. Work procedures that neglect that should be the companies fault, even if not doing them would be the driver’s fault.
