Truck driving is an immensely rewarding career choice that offers individuals a unique blend of independence, responsibility, and financial stability. Obtaining a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) is the first crucial step toward entering the trucking industry, opening doors to a plethora of opportunities. With a CDL in hand, aspiring truckers embark on a journey that goes beyond mere transportation; it's a lifestyle that involves navigating the open road, connecting communities, and ensuring the seamless flow of goods across the nation. In the world of trucking, a CDL is not just a license but a passport to a diverse array of experiences. The demand for skilled drivers continues to rise, making truck driving a dynamic and secure profession. The essence of trucking lies not just in the movement of cargo but in the sense of accomplishment derived from overcoming challenges on the road. Trucking, with its CDL prerequisite, offers a fulfilling career where individuals become the backbone of the economy, driving progress with every mile.

[@willieherrera23]

Great video! I'm actually located in IL and studying for my pre trip inspection and there is a lot more things that they want us to mention. Like the turbo, air intake, alternator, air compressor, water pump, doors, cat walk ans steps and a few more things. It's quite a bit to remember none the less.

[@packersgoat4749]

I believe they do that every where but he says you don’t need 100% and gives you enough info to get full credit

Thank you for this video Driving Academy; Quick side question; when doing the cdl pre trip inspection at a cdl-a training school, what would the average time length be for each student? I guess it prob varies from student to student but in general how long should someone look into doing their pre trip inspection the first few times? (I ask cause a lot of pre trip inspection videos especially old ones; tend to range from a hour to two hours long so just curious since yours the first I've come across that's detailed and is only 15 minutes long (oh and thanks again for doing it, makes it a lot more straightforward when studying this stuff).

[@kingdomkidzwarriorsinc.3589]

I am in the driving academy and I was told it should be no more than 30mins to cover the whole pre trip & in cab inspection. But I guess it might vary from state to state. I would say the reason why all the old videos you have watched are longer is because of the extensive wordplay they are using. It's too long & it shouldn't be. I wish I could upload the pre trip our school gave us. It's short & straight to the point. 🤷

[@jimmygalvan5360]

Automatic fail explain the color of the lights and you have to point out specific hoses
