How to PASS the Air Brake Test (first try !)

The CDL Exam can be seem scary, but it doesn't have to be ! This video covers the Air Brake Test extensively, which is often intimidating because it is the ONLY PLACE in the Pretrip Section that the test taker can AUTOFAIL if they perform it incorrectly. But have no fear ! This video explains each part of the test in great detail, then offers a perfect example using the bookend technique and then provides further material upon request.

Don't waste your time on a CDL you lose all your rights and you never see your family. Your nothing but a slave working long hrs , and money you will never have time to spend it. And avoid recruiters biggest scam artist of them all. I'd rather work at McDonald's at least I can spend my life with my family. Not worth selling your soul for the mighty dollar, that is unless you have no life and no family. The Insurance companies run the entire industry another scam. Don't waste your time or money.

Hi, Danny. I’m from NY, I just had a road test yesterday. I past the inspection, air brake and parking test, but I got fail on-road test. Do you have any trips that I can look for? On the test, I feel like I drove normal and kept in the most right lane at all time. However I just too early moved on the exit lane in the highway which is the exit-only lane, but not the correct exit I got told by, then I had to wait less than 1s at the end of lane separation to have enough room to get back in to the main highway. Also for the left turn, which lane should I approach after intersection? I thought is the most right lane but the examiner told me that I turned to the wrong lane. Now I have a bit upset about it, moreover I have no resources to know what should I look for on the “On-Road” test. Below is my results, any tips or hints I should care about for the next road test? Automatic Fail Category: Examiner took control (ETC), Fail to observe (FOB), Wrong side of road (WSR), Insufficient Skill or Practice (ISP)

[@CDLYeah]

Hey partner, congrats on passing your pretrip and backing tests, that’s great ! 🙌🏼🥳 Just one test to go now. There’s a lot to unpack here. Shoot me an email ([e-mail]) and we’ll try to get to the bottom of all this. In the meantime, here is a link to my drive prep video for some general pointers : kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpaqhHeHoNahpqc

[@Sixinthefield]

Immediately following this test is a great time to test that the compressor builds pressure quickly enough, since your air pressure will be low when you restart the truck (there are also other times when doing the compressor test would make sense and I'm sure you addressed it in another video). Great video, BTW; very easy to follow along and understand.

[@CDLYeah]

Exactly.Building back the tanks before the tug and service brake tests is what I coach right after this. Really appreciate your feedback and input/suggestions. ✊🏻 Really solid tips again.

[@MonsterTruckingCo.]

My test, you had to do tug test as part of the air take test, also had to state that speedometer worked during that test. If I’d of ended it as early as you did, I would have failed.

[@CDLYeah]

Thanks for your feedback ! The tug test and service brake test (getting up to 5 mph and braking )is separate from the air brake test, though it is part of the in cab inspection, which is the larger section that the air brake falls into. The the service brake test is where you test the speedometer and service brakes. This video only covers the air brake test. Hope that helps clarify 😁🙏🏻

[@MonsterTruckingCo.]

@@CDLYeah at my school Tug test was part of air brake test. That tests the tractor and trailer spring brakes. 5 mph tested the service brake. I guess some schools do it different, but this is what we where taught. In cab inspection, then we had to say this concludes my in cab inspection. Then we went to air brakes and after tug tests, this concludes my air brake inspection. Then it was straight to maneuvers then road test .

[@piglet7943]

In Texas it’s an automatic fail it you turn your engine on and exit your truck to unchock the wheel like you did in your video. In Texas you must remove the key from the ignition and place it in your pocket THEN you may unchock your wheels.

Thanks for weighing in from Texas! 🙋🏻‍♂️ Are you attending a school or training program with a company?

Great question! Thanks for reaching out! 😁 Yes, those are both part of the in cab section for sure. But they are not one of the three (or four) stage air brake tests. So they are not an automatic fail if you miss em. 🙌🏼

[@jameschang2873]

For the air break sometimes you have to drive forward for the air break test? Also do you say governor cut out for the air break test 120-140?

[@CDLYeah]

Great questions 🙌🏼😁 First, there is a service brake test after the air brake portion, which yes requires pulling forward at 5 mph.

[@Sofr3shsoclean305]

I will be testing in Florida, home of the worst drivers on the road 🙆😆. I plan to take the test either in December or January to give myself enough time to have it all down. I currently drive a lifted F350 flatbed with 24 ft trailer towing about 12k on average and hauling another 5k so I'm hoping with about 5 years of that 5-6 days a week I'll be pretty familiar with at least the driving portion..

[@CDLYeah]

If you’re testing in the new year you’ll likely be taking a new, very trimmed down version of the test. The air brake will be similar but have a mandatory 4th part, filling the tanks to the cut off. I’ll have a new video up later in the year going over the new test 👍🏻 have you thought about applying to Prime ? You seem like a really good candidate. It’s a great spot.

[@CDLYeah]

Good question 🙌🏼 I always chock with one block under the steer on the down hill side, trailer or not, as it is easier to remove the chock after by loosening it with a few turns of the steering wheel. Chocking drive tires can require driving (forward or in reverse) to come off of the rolled position. 😁 Thanks for reaching out!

When you got out to chock the steer tire, you didnt turn around and back out with 3 pts of contact. You stepped forwards out. That will get you a safety warning from most trainers and could fail you. It also could cause you to slip and fall on your back and get injured. Just sayin'

[@CDLYeah]

Thanks so much for reaching out Dennis and great attention to detail 🧐🙌🏼

[@robertsieg6843]

How can I get a script?

[@CDLYeah]

Thx for reaching out, email me at [e-mail] and I’ll send you over a copy

[@andyd1006]

The pressures must vary by state.

[@CDLYeah]

The test standards are changing state by state right now, you may have the new standard thresholds, which are a little different. If you watch my latest pretrip prep video it has the new standard for those in states testing with the new format. Check that one out to see if it’s more familiar 👍🏻

[@andyd1006]

I thought the standards were federal. Set by FMCSA.

[@JohnnyHinojosa007]

what about the governor cut out? isnt that the first step?

[@CDLYeah]

When and where are you testing? The test is changing state by state, you may need to be noting the governor cut off as well. I can let you know which test your state is using, are you planning to attend Prime? Please refer to the new full pretrip video for the example of the four stage. 😁🙌🏼

[@JohnnyHinojosa007]

Yes im in California@@CDLYeah

[@robertcoleman145]

As far as I know.They don't do the governor cut anymore in California.

[@route66dreaming]

Wow I never knew Kevin Bacon got into Trucking!

[@CDLYeah]

Lol, haven’t gotten that one before 😝🤷🏻‍♂️😎

[@user-dh8ip4xg3y]

I need to pass 🎉

[@CDLYeah]

I believe 🙌🏼😁

[@theanimeotaku2794]

You didn't secure the vehicle, right lol you are supposed to put in first gear if it's a manual with the truck running and making sure the parking brakes are set then shut the truck off after that exit with three points of contact to chock your drive wheels not your steering wheels that makes no sense I'm still training for my CDL class A license and Massachusetts is annoying with there brake test as I've heard with the instructors like the governor should cut out between 120-140 psi or the warning nuzzer light should come on at or before 55 psi when it's usually 65 or so psi it comes on from practicing

[@CDLYeah]

Thanks for reaching out! Yes, Massachusetts is on the four stage modernized, so it is a little different from this one. New modernized video is coming out here this week! Keep an eye out. 😁

[@Lord_Malkior]

Video starts at 0:47.

[@CDLYeah]

[@michaelshelton4954]

How do I get the script

[@CDLYeah]

Be glad to get it over to you, shoot me an email at [e-mail]

[@paynemartinson]

I have checked that my air tanks are fully charged to 120 psi I Will now turn my truck off and turn mys ignition to the on position, I will now push in Both my brake knobs in and wait until th air tanks have settled, I do not hear any audible air leaks. With steady pressure on the brake peddle i should not lose no more then 4 psi in 1 minute, will you please time me, I did not lose more then 4 psi in 1 minute. I will now pump down the brakes once the air pressure drops to no less then 60 psi my low air warning light and alarm should activate, My low air light and alarm have activated. I will now continue to pump my brakes and both my brake valves should pop out at approxamitly 40 psi, Both my valves have poped out my air brake system is working properly. DO NOT TOUCH THE VALVES WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF THE TESTER DO NOT DO ANY THING BEFORE OR DURRING YOUR FOR BADIEM ANNOUNCEMENT AND SAY THE WORDING EXACTLY EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE SAYING THE FUNCTIONS THAT YOU NEED TO DO YOUR WORDING HAS TO BE EXACT WORD FOR WORD NO DISCUSSION AT ALL ONE MISSED WORD IS A IMEEDIATE FAIL!

[@CDLYeah]

[@paynemartinson]

[@alfredorosado9683]

How can you provide me with a copy of that brake test?

[@CDLYeah]

Be happy to! 😁 Email us at [e-mail] if you’re thinking of coming to Prime 🙌🏼 or if you’re planning for another program check the website for the Prep Packet!

[@RunningBear1300]

??? What happened to your air buildup and pressure cut out time test????

[@CDLYeah]

Great question. The governor cut off is referenced but not denoted in this style off test. Depending when and where you are testing you may have a three stage or four stage air brake test. If you head to the newest “full pretrip” video it shows the four stage test 👍🏻

[@SirUyi147]

Hey I’m interested in your books pls

[@CDLYeah]

Email me and I’ll get stuff to ya 👍🏻

[@MrSpikenrail]
