Each state has their own requirements - best to review the CT CDL manual to verify their requirements for vehicle inspection. portal.ct.gov/dmv/licenses-permits-ids/ct-drivers-manuals?language=en_US

Congrats!

@@ATCCMN Thank you!

You didn't have to do driver and passenger side of the truck

@@traviscarter1023 barely. I was doing engine compartment finishing up with the driver side wheel, brakes etc. and then he stopped me after the slack adjusters.

Did you mean "cracked, bent, broke or missing?" We use this phrase often throughout the video to describe the condition of the components. If not, let us know what timestamp in the video your question is in regards to, and we'll do our best to help.

@@ATCCMN no. Cracked to braid. That’s the term. ???

After doing a little research, it looks like this may be a requirement that's used in Canada, but not here in Minnesota. Beyond the rubber of an air bag (in the suspension system) there is a braided mesh for reinforcement. We assume "cracked to braid" means that the rubber is cracked so the mesh is showing through.

@@ATCCMN ahhh. Ok. Thanks. I appreciate your attn to my question. I’m not one to just recite rote. I have to understand. Million thanks.

Yes... in ontario... we turn the truck on shut the doors then inspect the exhaust system following the connections /explaining...and at the end go into the truck and say there are no exhaust leaks in my cab

Yes, you can find the start of that segment at 26:03

We are located in Minnesota, U.S. so our requirements may be different. Pre-trip inspection requirements vary by state/territory, so it's always best to go with your local requirements!

However we start at the turbo (new to me) then continue on to the exhaust while the truck is running...because we check for exhaust leaks entering the cabin

Thanks so much - Jason is a fantastic instructor!

@@ATCCMN *_You're welcome!_* 😊 *_I believe you that Jason's an excellent instructor! ☺️ Thank you for responding!_* 😁🏆

So glad you found it helpful! Best of luck as you prepare.

You shouldn't be driving a tractor trailer if you know nothing about engines.

This is why we educate ourselves. Was a surgeon born knowing the human body or did they study day and night. You are the type of people in trucking I was warned about. You will be my greatest challenge and my first test. Looks like I passed I didn't curse or threaten you. I'm ready for the next ***h***.@@jamesbond1231

@@ozellekeil1953 a surgeon? No. But a good one likely was cutting up animals at a young age. Your biggest challenge will be your lack of knowledge and experience. You can compensate for those, but you will never be as good as a driver that has been driving since they were 5 or 6. Unfortunately the industry doesn't value skill over price, and because of that we will always have sub standard drivers. There's a reason we have buses full of dead kids.

You know that's right ! Way to check 'em

Really

Other than that not bad tho 👍

Thank you! Glad this video helped.

The inspection may be similar but differences likely exist. Please check with your local/state DMV for specifics.

Thank you! Good luck!!

THE BRAKE COMPONENTS "The air line hose that is going to & from the brake chamber is not cracked, damaged, broken. The air hose is not cut or frayed & it is not leaking. The air hose is properly mounted & secured to the brake chamber with its proper hardware." IF there is an ABS line, you should state that "the ABS line is not cracked, damaged, or broken. It is not cut or frayed. It is properly mounted & secured to the brake chamber & the air hose with its proper clamps (this also depends on the truck)." The move to the brake chamber, "The brake chamber is not cracked, damaged, or broken. It is not dented. The brake chamber does not have any illegal holes or welds. The brake chamber is not leaking & it is properly mounted with its proper hardware." "The push rod, clevis, with the pin & the slack adjuster are not cracked, damaged, or broken. No illegal holes or welds. The push rod & clevis is properly mounted & secured with the proper pin connected to the slack adjuster. The slack adjuster does not have more than 1 inch of play. Then state how you would measure the slack adjuster to make sure that it is properly tuned for maximum safety." Then move to the brake drum, "The brake drum is not cracked, damaged, or broken. There are no illegal holes or welds. It is free of oil, grease, & debris. It is properly mounted & secured." Then move to the brake pads, "The brake pads are not cracked, damaged, or broken.

Then you move to the inside of the: 1): Rim (Not cracked, damaged, or broken. No illegal holes or welds. it is not leaking. Properly mounted & secured) 2): Inside wall of the tire (No abrasions, bulges, or cuts. Its is properly mounted and secured to the rim. It is properly beaded to the rim & it is not leaking) 3): The tread (No abrasions, bulges or cuts. The tread is have more than 4/32 of an inch available in tread. It can be recapped, but it cannot be regrooved.) 4): The outside wall of the tire (No abrasions, bulges, or cuts. Its is properly mounted and secured to the rim. It is properly beaded to the rim & it is not leaking) 5): The outside rim (Not cracked, damaged, or broken. No illegal holes or welds. it is not leaking.

The valve stem cap is on finger tight & it is in attendance) **Always make sure that you mention that "you have checked the tire with the tire gauge and that it is within the operating specifications".

Here is an example that I learned in school & aided me to pass my CDL Pre-Trip Inspection.

The air hose is properly mounted & secured to the brake chamber with its proper hardware." IF there is an ABS line, you should state that "the ABS line is not cracked, damaged, or broken.

No illegal holes or welds. The push rod & clevis is properly mounted & secured with the proper pin connected to the slack adjuster. The slack adjuster does not have more than 1 inch of play. Then state how you would measure the slack adjuster to make sure that it is properly tuned for maximum safety." Then move to the brake drum, "The brake drum is not cracked, damaged, or broken.
