Bus training

[@poraradi1919]

Great job very informative. Its amazing what the human brain is capable of retaining. We need more drivers like you on the road. good luck on your test.

im gonna watch this video until i get into class

I actually want to be a bus driver but after seeing how good this young man is with explaining everything I know I definitely will fail.

[@elgallowayjr]

You will not fail

Study for the test. RRR, you will pass for sure! Think positive.

I just passed my CDL-B exam with passenger and air brake and school bus endorsements…I knew I could do it so I did it…you have to believe in yourself…

[@williamhaynes7089]

i just passed my Air brakes, full vehickle inspection, driving, backing test and it was a lot of memorization but was possible, Im 53 years old too

[@williamhaynes7089]

this inspection is required for cdl test... i just went thru it myself

[@dargaming379]

Woah, a suburban seating RTS? I’ve never seen one setup like that before. All the ones I drove had standard transit seating

[@Chicagoguy1984]

Yes VERY rare but golden gate transit ran them for many years

[@dmcr9525]

@@Chicagoguy1984 Pretty rare now because most all of them are retired, but quite a few agencies had Suburban RTS’ once upon a time. NYC had 200+, Detroit, Cobb County GA, several California agencies are just a few among them.

[@thetonydolesshow2519]

That was my trainer. If you don't know to click your seatbelt and need to be told in a video, you deserve to fail... I passed my tests (verbal and driving) from this man (Levelle) training me on my first exam and now drive a tour bus. Secret: I knew to click my seatbelt from when I got my first drivers license when I was 16.......

[@williamhaynes7089]

when i tested last week, If i sit in drivers seat for any reason (even to open the door) i had to put seat belt on and cover the brake pedal...

Pao Xiong This is the standard test for a Class B w/ Passenger endorsement and Airbrakes. If you didnt have to do all of this plus a written and a driving skills test, youre either #1 Not from California #2 Youre not a driver #3 Youre just trying to comment to fit in.

[@miastrong151]

My test was much harder than this. The verbiage was also more concise and complete. This video looked retarded, much like everything in California.

[@miastrong151]

I don't blame you, though. You are just a product of your horrible system.

Hmmmm..Applied test. he did not release the parking brake after applying the service brake peddle. And something about the guy on the left in the bluejeans is very distracting.

[@thetonydolesshow2519]

Ya I'd fail it. Turn the key fire it up there's my Pretrip.

[@смиренный-х2б]

If it turns on and your brake pedal works time to drive.

[@thetonydolesshow2519]

When you have up to 56 passengers lives in your hand, maybe you want to pre-trip the tire pressure, leaks, tread, broken or cracked rims etc. Its just a job, but people rely on you to get them to their destination safely.

[@demetriusdion286]

@@смиренный-х2б , you dealing with airbreaks, sir. If you don't Pre-Trip the bus, especially performing the Airbreak Test, you can lose Air Pressure, and cause major fatalities. Pre-Trip the bus without exception.

FAILED (No seatbelt) DOT REGULATION. If you were to take this with an DOT Inspector and you don't click your seatbelt you would be failed 100%.

[@fargeeks]

mI me2 and if you put the key in the off position then that is also a Auto fail

[@joshalex93]

@@fargeeks that's not an auto fail. When doing the leak down test you have to turn the bus off and then turn the switch back to Night Run so the warning buzzers activate when needed.

@@fargeeks you don't do that part of the air brake test with the engine running. Once you do the cut in and out you are to cut the engine off and turn on the ignition only..

You have 18 minutes to complete the Pre-Trip, we were trained at Metro to do it in 13 minutes. The front right tire failed (thread depth).

[@thetonydolesshow2519]

If failed then how did i pass my driving test IN THAT SAME BUS? No, depth was fine. Bus was fine and Lavelle was a great teacher. Quit looking for failures. Look for positives you can use to assist you in your test. Your school should teach you. The video is for reference

[@demetriusdion286]

@@thetonydolesshow2519 , Did I say anything about you? The fact is that DMV don't check for tire thread depth, duh? And this was just a simple observation from my point of view, okay? I give you a little advice, when driving the bus your passagers is going to say things100% worst than this simple innocent observation. Learn to ignore things and move on, because reality going to step through your bus door every single time you stop to pick up a passager. 🤔 P.S. I have been Bus Driver for 27 years, and I'm happy that you passed and that you now driving a tour bus.

My goodness. American buses look so old fashion compare the what ous do. (Norwegian busses) They look even older than ours did in the 1980s.... I've been to the USA many times, and as a bus driver myself, this is interesting. Here are some links to some random Norwegian buses from the '80s... There is even a bigger difference inside the buses, especially the dashboard. sporveismuseet.no/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/image001.jpg db.bussdatabasen.no/media/media/bussbilder/IMG_2205.jpg www.flickr.com/photos/83759853@N04/11237265034
