Okay, one last thing: You talk about the on-duty hours in a 7-day cycle. You should specify for which country because they are different. You are correct with the 7-day and 8-day for USA. Here in Canada, the 7-day cycle allows 70 hours of on-duty, just as the 8-day does in the States. :)

Question #19 is another. The correct answer is 14 hours on on-duty time, not 15 hours as you have selected. In both Canada and USA, 14 is the max. Another question is who is considered the operator. I believe it's the company and the driver. Not the owner of the truck. Last, the DRIVER and only the driver is responsible for an overweight load. The shipper has nothing to do with it. Thanks again dude. It's a great video with these exceptions.

Thank you for making this video. I did use it while preparing for my "A" written test. There is definitely some misleading information here though. I'd like to share a couple in hopes that people get the proper information: Question #6, the correct answer is actually 13.5 feet, which is not an option. The answer is 13 feet 6 inches, which is 13 and a half feet (13.5 or 13 1/2), not 13.6 (which would be 13'8").

This video was an excellent idea , and it was done well - except for the misleading or incorrect informations it contains. Being that the Driver's Handbook has 8 G Class Multiple choice test questions contained within it (complete with answers) and the Truck Handbook has 19 test questions contained with it (but doesn't have any answers) , this video should be corrected and used to help out those drivers who are going to write their written tests , without uploading the entire list of questions.

If you hear hissing (air leaking) from behind the brake chambers , that means that the rubber seal is worn or hardened to the point where it must be replaced. Having the entire brake chamber replaced is better , because the entire unit will be either new , or remanufactured / rebuilt. This is common in air brakes , and should be monitored by the driver to make sure it doesn't get worse - using the prescribed tolerances of 80psi min. at the dash gauge , and to NOT ignore any warning lights/buzz
-
If you were to apply added pressure to the seal/push rod side of the brake chamber , you would only be compressing the chamber main spring closed. Since this releases the brakes - that would not work. Besides , the seal/push rod end of the brake chamber is not sealed , it is open to allow methol alcohol to be injected into the seals , where brakes become frozen through a hole which only has a plastic or rubber debris plug. It is not a seal , plus the pushrod actually protrudes the chamber end
-
Under service braking use (not emergency use) , pressure is built higher in the brake chambers when you press the brake pedal through the threttle valve (one way valve) , which increases the pressure on the sealed spring side of the chamber. This causes the spring to actually have more room in the chamber , but at the same time reduces the position of the chamber seal / push rod assembly. From there that movement twists a large brake rod that opens the brake calipers or diaphrams.
There are two Question 23s.
