I just came here to say that this video helped me a lot to pass my test ( I passed today at the first try ) I repeated it over and over until I memorized everything. Thanks for these videos and thanks to Justin also. Good luck for everyone out there 👏

Passed my CDL test , thank you so much for sharing this video , it was of great help !

[@johnsouza391]

Ok, first you should of fastened your seat belt before you did anything in the brake check and doing your in cab inspection. Second you should of removed the key from the ignition when you got out of the vehicle to take out your wheel chalks. By D.M.V and D.O.T standards you failed the test before you even got started. But overall it was a good video.

[@mikechipak9828]

Or put the seatbelt back on after getting back into the vehicle when removing the chalks

[@Truckingwitteezy]

He would have failed

Shouldn’t he also make sure his brakes are on as a part of the safety start?

[@beauknowz]

Really well done! Your airbrake test is one of the better training videos on KZbin👍 You are also the first trainer to chalk the wheels (properly) from all the videos I’ve viewed, finally.👌 Please remember to reiterate how important it is to fasten your seatbelt soon as you sit behind the steering wheel. Coach your students to make sure the trainer is seat belted BEFORE you conduct any in cab tests. in the state of Illinois trainers are very adamant about seatbelts. If the student is asked to start performing any of the in cab tests and the student does not tell the trainer to fasten their seatbelt, before they perform said task, the trainer can fail the student immediately.

Even us school bus drivers are taught to remove the key ANY time you leave the seat and/or the vehicle. Plus, one should automatically put on the seatbelt whenever one is preparing to start any vehicle. Regardless if one plana to move the vehicle an inch; “seatbelt on.” Different air build test with alarms deactivating, governor shut off, and build to 120/125psi.

I'm taking Truck driving training at my local community college and this is very helpful refresher after we practiced this today. We do things in a slightly different order, and I will stick to what I'm being taught because I think these steps for the most part can be done in different order just as long as they are all done. One thing my instructor kept telling us is to always take the keys out and into your pocket so no one takes them. And do not stick you're hand through the steering wheel. Besides that and having different governor cut out rates, I would say this is a good refresher video. Thanks for making it!

Nice video, but did you miss a critical step? Timing the compressor to make sure it can adequately build pressure. I believe the compressor check is timed from (50 - 90 psi) in no less than 3 minutes. If the compressor can't perform that (it's a weak compressor) and fails a pre-trip. Or has this been removed from pre-trips?
