I am studying this daily, I have a crush on this man. He speaks clear, and slow. I'm half way memorize now. When I have this pre trip inspection down I'll be going to CDL school.

[@jacquemartinez8333]

THANK YOU Mr. Ricks & crew. I just now have decided to move forward with getting my CDL ( just turned 57) I have a intellectual disability & learning SUCKS for me & testing is WAY WORSE . The videos from this company are slow, clear, & full of valuable information. Even the camera person does a great job....THANK YOU. My stress level was at 95 % ( & I trust & believe in GOD....but facts are FACTS, I can't be calm when learning or testing ) & now it's at about a 4 % ......THANKS & GOD BLESS YOU ALL. I will be recommending you all to MANY people. I AM SO GRATEFUL

[@smileymore25]

Did you get your CDL?

[@victoralexander2131]

This J tech video is awesome, I studied the general knowledge, combination vehicle and air brakes test on line and passed the first time. This video is going to allow me to be ahead of many people in my class when I go to CDL truck driving training school next month. I like the way you point to each item with your stick and demonstrate how to find parts hoses components nuts and bolts. This is by far the best pre trip video I've seen, you break it down with good grammar and you speak slowly, this makes it so much easier to remember and understand This is a five star demonstration!!

[@zenelgashi]

I watched many videos and they were useless this man is the best and clear

[@robbien.1798]

Great job! Amongst the best video I've seen on this.

[@onedon5318]

These videos are so helpful when I went to the school they were surprised at how much I already knew got my class b so happy

[@charluvcigars]

Best video I have found I love the pointer most videos just point and talk and left me confused

[@georgefreeman6957]

Richard is very professional, i watched all his videos a number of times until I was confident enough to take the test!! i passed, thank you Rick!!

@Hello Patrick how are you doing

[@jacquemartinez8333]

You make me feel positive about my future

[@simplyjosh6759]

I got my CDLA back in 2016 here at JTech. The training there is ABSOLUTELY TOP NOTCH by far!!! The Gentleman in this video; Mr. Ricks was extremely awesome 👏🏿 and serious when it came to teaching and explaining all components very well!!! It was absolutely an honor to have him as the head man and lead instructor. I, myself am now a CDL INSTRUCTOR @ champion truck driving school in Largo, Florida. This is one of the videos that I will forward to all my students and prospective future students. BY FAR THE BEST AND MOST ACCURATE VIDEO OUT HERE STILL TILL THIS DAY!!! Question 🙋🏿‍♂️??? IS RICKS STILL INSTRUCTING THERE??? I miss him and would love to thank him personally. My nickname there was “FUEL PUMP” 🤦🏿‍♂️… people of my class will definitely understand where that came from…. Inside joke 🤣🤣

[@jacquemartinez8333]

Congratulations

[@michaelseidl5240]

Thank you for putting these videos out there. I'm currently 8 weeks in (Smith and Solomon), and take my road test in 5 days. I bonded with all my "cousins" in my class, and all of us, the class behind us, the class before us, all felt the same way - shot nerves...lol I have alot of this memorized, but it's hard not to forget something from in cab inspection, engine compartment, 5th wheel/coupling, trailer, glad-hands, landing gear. It's ALOT to memorize, but anyone going through it, it does get easier. Just take 10 minutes to pre-trip every morning in the yard before class begins, and you'll be glad you did come test time

[@kevenm1359]

This guy help me passed my pre trip no lie and i didn't attend this school

[@no_im_dirtydan]

Look out newbies, here's a tip to maximize efficiency on these videos: Watch one section beginning to end, then rewind (example: initial approach, unique side, coolant through steering shaft, power steering system, steering linkage system, suspension system, brake system, brake pads through hub seal). Repeat each group until you feel comfortable then move to next group. Revisit previous groups periodically to freshen up and maintain. Before you know it, you'll have A Card memorized.

[@samuelcartagena8841]

Swvcwcacsxwsvsssdddddd

[@smileymore25]

Thank you for this! Because it does seem a little overwhelming to have to memorize all of this but like you say get one section at a time memorized then move on to the next section doesn’t seem as overwhelming. 👍🏽Appreciate this helpful tip. 🤗
