I have a checklist of things to go over before leaving for a trip and leaving for home. I added that to the list tonight....
That would be called a pre-trip.
If you went for an endorsement on your DL to tow a heavy trailer, just about 100% of the fivers on the road and a lot of TTs, you have to do your pre-trip without a list.
Missing something like checking your propane tanks to ensue that they are secure will get you halfway to a fail.
Likely don't need the endorsement here in Ontario... Unless the combined weight exceeds 11,000 kg (max trailer weight of 4,600 kg) then you just need a normal drivers license. That would convert to a maximum trailer weight of 10,120 lbs and combined truck / trailer weight of 24,200 lbs.
We don't even require trailer brakes below 3000 lbs here or breakaway cables at all... for some reason???
