PASSING YOUR CDL PART 3/3 www.TruckingFantastic.com

[ChrisYoungGunn]

passed my test with ease thanks to verne.:D

[Theteapartytruther1]

He also forgot to mention registration and inspection stickers on both the truck and trailer. I believe he did forget to mention the Fifth Wheel and that the shank around the Kingpin needs to secure and release arm needs to be secure. If it is a sliding tandum, make sure the pins are secured and in place. He also didn't inspect the front of the truck to see if it was leaning to one side or look under the truck for leaks. Check damage to landing gear too. We all forget something. Still a good job

[hd46wicked]

He forgot about the king pin and fifth wheel

[shawn50544]

good imformation just pass my air brakes test

[sideslide23]

when I took the written test the correct answer I end up for airbrakes on bus and strait truck, no more than 2 PSI in one minuts for combination no more than 3 PSI in one minuts

[lab32j]

thank you for this vid. very good instractor you got there...

[ibanez860]

@lab32j I passed my CDL tests, this was definately one of the toughest areas. i have some stuff that helped me study for the tests. Email me at Schecter860 @yahoo.com or message me on youtube and ill help you figure out some of the answers to help you study for your upcoming CDL tests.

[wngnutmv]

did he check the 5th wheel coupling?

[allwedoissell]

You the Man, Verne, Great Job.

[luismunoz41]

music does not go with this video at the end..gud video tho im learning from it..

[poppabear9]

he's a good teacher and inspector cuz most trucks i see they look like they are fallin apart parts all dented in steps fallin off its some pretty scary stuff

[unknownsilant]

Here's a tip; before you even enter the door to do all your tests, and training; go out with an actual driver for a few day's; but do make sure you befriend him, so he doesnt mind showing you the basic things on what to do/ not do :P

[TheSupremeDon]

My D.L. has been suspended for a number of years and I recently got it back. Before it was suspended I was studying for my CDL A. Do the 5 points on it hurt my chances of getting my CDL? I know this is what I want to do as a career. Thanx.

[rlunderhill]

Oh come on. Make double sure it's not raining. This is classroom stuff. Whata waste of time. The students are yawning kicking dirt. Some went to pee.

[SuperMilken]

i got my class A today the pre trip is the easiest part the best way to do it is use common sense and everything you can see check it over and make sure its in good condition in correlation with the truck

[cadillacdude1975]

depending on the state, for example, i am on Tennessee, we have to check the 5th wheel, if it is a sliding 5th wheel, check to ensure the bolts are intact, none missing or damaged. we have to visually inspect the jaws to ensure they are locked, and to check the 5th wheel release handle and the internal/external safety. we also have to check the inside lights during the cab inspection, the directional signals and bright light and ABS indicator in addition to the light check. good pretrip though.

[EZ4089]

Excellent Video!! Thanks!

[gmack32]

Very helpful for younger truckers.

[outlaw3474]

He said check the springs on the truck suspintion but never said check the air bags hmmm guess thier not important but when one blows you will know it

[H3nlY]

check part 2

[MattytheDem]

@outlaw3474 possibility that the truck he was describing did not have air bags

[jtmatson]

if it had bags it wouldnt have springs, ive seen trucks with bags and with out bags

[calvinhobbescinnamon]

tractor may not have been air suspension.

[rewill17]

thank you for posting this videos. They are very helpful. ALot bs to remember to check tho. haha. fun tho.

[TheTarrMan]

Don't get any tickets, it make it harder to get your CDL.

[Goshdangpeachy]

at 4:48 it's 3 psi with brakes off

[mrprimo99]

he didnt mention to check the rear brakes you need to chock the wheels and cancel spring brakes. those of you who think you dont have to do pre-trip & post trip inspecs are in for a rude awakening when you try to get your lic and will be a danger on the road once you are driving. those bozos are the ones you see broke down on the side of a hwy all the time..

[ilovechipotle85]

didn't you just say the same thing in a few other videos??? i'm pretty sure anyone that is planning on taking their CDL tests, already knows that they will have to perform a pre, and possibly a post trip inspection.

thanks though, captain obvious.

[RapIsDeadly]

lol

[POKEFACE1]

iam going to be a future trucker. Iam 13

[ssccrab]

Great... Thanks for telling us 100 times.

[al3x440]

good for you, but you don't need to post same comment on 3 videos.

[Video19255]

Thank you sir, really good video and very informative as an avid truck driver....

[speedskiff2]

Pretty good run through.Make sure 5th wheel setting is correct for load and locks are set.Check 5th wheel crotch to make sure slide lock is holding jaw shut.When you first move truck, yank on trolley.Better to drop trailer in yard than on road.DOT puts drivers in same category as pilots because both professions involve general public.Every see a pilot get in a plane and just take off?You don't get paid for pre/post trips because it is part of the job.Some drivers are their own worst enemies.

[trancowy89]

OMFG... like a category for car in poland

[tweekin74]

dont have time for that shit gotta go

[goldwing234]

Hey Vern, Why didn't you crawl down in the dirt and check the slack adjusters, hose?, brake shoes, chambers, and drums, HHMMM! Also on the 52 point pre trip inspection, you as a driver should also grease the tractor,change the filters,change the oil,fix any electical issues,and wash the unit for good measure since you are going to have a ton of free time for such things. Oh, bye the way,you can do all of this for free, because 95% of trucking companies won't pay you for pre-trip inspecs. thank u

[myspacelakers]

hes at a training school. your not required to do any of the such to pass the pretrip (in cab ) inspection. Dylanwinter , i really appreciate the help video. i am in TDI training ( starting my 3rd week now) and these 3 pretrip videos really help! thank you very much for posting it.

[XCaliber40]

LMAO SO TRUE!!

[rtcfrtcdana]

Thanks Vern, very helpful

[snowpro90]

Thanks vern, your informative video helped me pass my New York State CDL class A road test.

[kennysteam1]

Hi i am in Scotland what is a CDL is it a Heavy Goods Vehicle driving test

cheers

[4x4Mudmaster]

cdl is for any truck with a gross weight over 26,001 lbs.

[MattytheDem]

@kennysteam1 it means Commercial Drivers Licence. and yes it is. it is for any vehicle that has a GVWR of above 26000 lbs. and has air brakes. there are 3 classes each for different size vehicles. A is for articulated vehicles and B and C are for rigid vehicles. there are also sever different endorsements you can get to haul certain loads

[BostonTrucker]

Nice vid Heck ive got my CDl and still got me to check this out! Saftey first and value your self and others around you!

>>-->

[1Canuck]

I have my CDL in Wisconsin there were very few things missed that would've gotten you docked points on your test here. Excellent example of a pre-trip though, very well done! If this guy teaches actual driving as well as he demonstrates a pre-trip, his students are in good shape!

[YUPchannel]

Hey 1canuck i'm from Wisconsin what exactly is

missing from their tutorial vids? Livewire- :P

[YUPchannel]

hey did he miss inspecting the batteries and doing a confirm for the trailer for securely from the connection to the 5th wheel?

Livewire- :p

[varmint527]

im sure he didnt miss it, it just wasnt in the video like other things such as dipping engine oil, transmission oil,coolant. Checkin the filters, draining the air tanks, checkin the condenser in the fuel system, water level, fuel, grease nipples and grease points etc etc...

[MEEANDSTUFF]

he mentioned that you would set trailer brakes and try to move it to test 5th wheel towards end, dunno bout the battery

[cdxltube]

gold

[Rserlo]

MAn, he was very specific. But if you did all that crap every single time you went out. You'd spend more than half an hour just checking crap. It's not like a truck just breaks over night. I usually inspect my rig once a week.

[MEEANDSTUFF]

you're joking right? has to be joking cuz you know... yeah he's joking

[Rserlo]

not joking. get a life.

[mastergustavoramos]

this is a very very very good video

thanks

[adam420222222]

very through but each air brake test you do you have to tell the instructor what test you are doing there are 4 of them. air pressure build up, test air leckage rate, test low pressure warning siginal and check air compressor governer cut in/out

[cashcartel2272]

These video's are great but he did miss a couple of minor things. Check your trailer brakes by pulling down the trolly and pulling forward. This step will also confirm that the trailer is securely connected to the 5th wheel. Other than that... GREAT JOB!!

[konsept28]

This is a great video! Even though it's a little differen't for the one in California the concept is still the same! Thanks

[notar1]

what are test requirments far as down shifting to stop? how many gears you got to downshift to durring test ?

[notar1]

I have learners permit passed air brakes . all i am driving for company now is 53" trailer bread and jerky what else do i need to take for test?

[dylanwinter1]

anyone out there know?

[soccetwrench]

General, Air brakes, and Combo

[notar1]

thanx. passed combo last week

[notar1]

scheduled on the 1st of may to take drive test.any more help full tips?

[notar1]

do you ever do the hand valve break test durring drive test

[kingb131]

If it is not in the study guide (pre trip section) for the state in which you are testing don't worry about it. Anyway they are'nt usually on newer tractor models

[adiller666]

@notar1

it never hurts to go get a Hazmat I had to get one for some unknown reason

But that's cause I'm in MI so they make ya have everything

[BIGSTUDBONE]

Excellent video!

[sullivan2640]

good pretrip inspection, but forgot to inspect batteries and fifth wheel.

[sabrefirefighter]

thanx for posting im going threw SAGE truck driving training school and this helped me so much on my labs

[AgentHog]

I never new that when your pressure goes to 30-40 the air brakes come on automatically. :O

[sabrefirefighter]

well there really ur spring brakes will activate

[AgentHog]

you get the point. :p

[LDIZZITY]

this will come in handy for me one day...thank you verne n dylan

[hayseed6969]

ive been diving for about 11 years and this old guy is a trucker, which is a dying breed!! thanks for the vid

[dylanwinter1]

he really knows his stuff

a born trainer

[FuNEnD3R]

@dylanwinter1 I tend to start daydreaming since he is just talking in a monotone voice about 100 different things nonstop. I teach programming classes and I stop to make sure the students are with me and explain the importance of certain things so that they will understand that it is something you really need to know.

[spade121981]

Yeah I got a question.Can someone actually remember all that?

[shvetes]

Very helpful video of a veteran expert. Much appreciated.

[bigdadyrob]

Thanks,Loved the Video.

[dylanwinter1]

Play it every night before you go to sleep and you will surely pass. I think Verne is very good at his job
