What to say during your CDL road test

When on the road portion of the CDL road test, a student must identify and call out all road hazards. This video is what a student should be saying during the road portion of the road test.

[@MrAliouBah]

My examiner told me to shut it up . 😂😂 That I talk too much. Only to say something when I see railroad, bridges, speed limit. Everything else I can keep it for myself

[@keatonkeysz]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@NY51663]

Yea I had the same experience in New York. He actually got annoyed.

I’m in trucking school when I’m not driving this video helps me stay up to date and my mind fresh app this video

[@NY51663]

It all depends on the tester you get. Some of them actually tell you not to call out everything, except for when they tell you to. Some of them are more easy going. But I would definitely just begin to call out everything unless they say otherwise. My instructor seemed to be annoyed with it and told me to stop. I was doing what this video shows, probably to much.

i passed my road test last week your vids are amazing

[@CDLInstructorSAGE]

Great job driver!!

[@briangil5943]

Just wanted to thank you guys i passed my road test today and this video really helped me alot i said everything you mention and passed with literally no points 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Thank you so much for the comment! Very proud of you. Be safe driver 💪💪💪

I'm watching this because I failed my 1st road test. I'm on my 2nd test today at 11am ( Got my cdl March 7th, 2024 on my final and 3rd test)

[@jacobweiser7632]

I failed my road test in staten island for school bus, I announced every sign but I failed for something stupid like crossing the line into upcoming traffic because the road was very narrow and that's why she failed me, apparently some examiners are really screwed up people, I have my road test this week in goshen ny cdl test site, I hope to report good news

Saw this video the day of my Maneuvers and driving segment for passenger endorsement. passed cause I repeated all your call outs ! Thank you drive safe

[@cwcole]

Nice job! This video brings back memories. It's hard to believe that it has been 31 years since I got my CDL. I went to a driving school in Liverpool, NY. I don't think there were any options in the Binghamton area back in 1992. I haven't driven since 2002, but I still maintain my CDL and get a physical every 2 years. It's my fallback career if I ever need it. There is always a demand for CDL drivers and it's a good career for the motivated.

[@CDLInstructorSAGE]

That’s awesome!!

[@alexsandra002]

Good to hear that

[@werthefutureStayWoke]

If you don’t mind asking ‘ what other choice of work did you choose to pursue in @cwcole , not much other great pay out there besides cdl

[@cwcole]

​@@werthefutureStayWoke Information technology. The two jobs sort of overlapped. Someone I knew need a CDL driver to haul recycled computer equipment from hospitals in Philadelphia. I was about to go to Rochester to work for K.J. Transportation, Inc. (I think they were bought out since then). He rented a tractor and 53' trailer from Ryder and I drove it. When we returned. I started working on the computers, refurbishing and selling on eBay which was big at the time. I took a Microsoft course at SUNY, and here I am 21+ years later working in IT.

Thank you, great explanation

[@magigooter2096]

"No habla englais." Works every time.

[@baysouth-jv3sh]

😂

[@frenieldaperono515]

Unfortunately my tester told me NOT to do call outs and they help me organize my thoughts and actions. He said it’s distracting to him. This combined with a “unsafe move” but the safest move possible caused me to fail. I shifted on a left green light and failed my shift. Light turned yellow and I decided to stop before I start to turned in neutral then shifted into 3rd and waited for traffic to clear and completed my turn.

[@alexserrano5367]

What state ? CA CDL DMV is a MF most of those guys wake up to kick babies and spit on nuns .

[@MichaelJeffers75]

IMO, having to dialogue the driver's train of thought would produce a very unsafe environment. Thoughts happen in the fraction of a second. Having to articulate each thought concisely takes several seconds per each thought and it just seems very counter productive to the demand for safe operation. I hope when I test to get your type of instructor.

[@CDLInstructorSAGE]

It's unfortunate that they didn't let you handle the callouts. It would have been beneficial to allow you to carry out these procedures, as this is standard practice for all Commercial Driver's License (CDL) road tests nationwide.

[@nancyhoward7005]

Thank you. I still have almost 2 months left for my road test

[@saucyhighlights5534]

Hey are you tested on for endorsements? for example if you have the tanker endorsement would they question you or test you on it?

[@CDLInstructorSAGE]

Not on your CDL road test. The only endorsements they test you on is passenger and school bus.

[@randy069]

I was asked what I would do when approaching rr tracks with my hazardous endorsement on my CDL road test, even though I tested with a van trailer.

[@gwendolenmccloud8771]

By the way, YOU have a NEW SUBSCRIBER. ~ 🙂

[@AssadKhalif]

2:25 this is the incorrect turn method if you have a tractor trailer. I am guessing this isn't that, it's probably a 5 ton truck or about 15-20 ft in length type truck. Any truck higher than 40 ft in lenth would've hit the car to the left of this truck. So I'd like to know, what kind of truck are you using in this video.

[@northofknowhere130]

At 2:40 you can see the back of the truck and it looks like a rollback.

[@zachk5270]

OMG.. that's my home ... Endicott NY😊😊😊😊!!!!

[@BcottStudios]

I thought this is how you drive any vehicle? I mean I drive my car like this. I guess that's why I'm a safer driver than 95% of people

[@CDLInstructorSAGE]

It is good habits to have! Wish more would do it.

[@simply_the_dev7588]

I really thought when you said there is a Mcdonalds that you were going to say make sure you declare you are hungry. lol

[@Kendrick_trucker]

My instructor told me to stop 2 car length or 60 ft of the car in front of you

[@ghostway700]

My brother??? How long before I may need to go back to CDL school with no experience I had my license for 3months still no job ?

[@alexsandra002]

I can't wait to be your friend , pls can I have your number or facebook name

[@404babyy]

You might have to go otr for experience. It’s a lot of trucking companies like prime, Schneider, swift, crst, that’ll take you. You can also apply to Sysco, Pepsi, coke or a Budweiser for local they take no experience.

[@everything-pp6eq]

Man I got my cdl with swift worked with them for 6 months, started filling out apps and ended up getting on at Pepsi. 6months to 1year of driving experience is all they ask. some ask for as little as 3-6 months of driving experience. I actually had a few companies call me they all said either 3-6 months driving experience or 6 months to a year of driving experience. Just my experience. Hopefully, you've found something by now.

[@dustinjames4848]

Yeah call outs are impatient and can't wait to drive my own tractor.

[@CDLInstructorSAGE]

Without a doubt, they are! The central concept, however, is to enhance a driver's hazard perception. Even post-road test, you'll be instinctively identifying potential dangers.

[@liapearson5614]

Wouldn't talking distract a new driver?

[@TruckerPtxLaRoux]

Talking is the best way to assure the driver is in the moment. Letting the mind drift into other things while driving is determential. All it takes is a few seconds.
