Looks easy but I'm sure it's tough once in the seat
Thanks for these videos. The only thing I'd change is putting more focus in the beginning of the video where the student begins to cut in and then follow his tires. For a new driver i would take note of that, the timing / length/ straighten out time of the steers.
That's a great tip! I can defiantly include that in the next one. Thanks for the feedback and watching :)
Why do we hear an air leak in the cab
The actuator for the heater controls had a minor audible airleak, but not enough to put it out of service. Good catch though 👏 👌 👍
Would have been more helpful if you pointed 👉 at what you were referring to, just in case it's people like myself that need to identify what they are actually looking at.. nevertheless good video..
Thanks for watching and your feedback, Darnell. I will definitely keep that in mind for the next time. 👍
When the traine see manual stick shift for the first time
LOL, you are right about that!
After this I pass and get my q endorsement? Or do I have to do a road test I passed the class 3 knowledge test
You would have to complete a knowledge test for the class of license you are upgrading too, Also an Airbrake knowledge test at your local registry after taking the Airbrake course and acquiring your Certificate of Completion for that Airbrake course from the place you did the classroom theory. Then when you do your Provincial road test the Airbrake procedure for Class 3 is what you will have to demonstrate as part of your pre-trip inspection in the yard prior to the drive portion.
@ I read somewhere about they will give your q endorsement if you pass the road knowledge test at the registry’s and you don’t have to take a road test
Did u hear the audible warning…?
Some trucks won't have an audible. But there will be a red light that will go on then off.
Nope but shud have
im getting my air break certification, took the one day course, but this helps. appreciate you.
Thanks, glad it helped you out.
I’ve applied to the melt program several times and it’s just so darn expensive despite having over 25 years of driving experience
Thank you very much sir! This helps a lot, as I’m doing my MELT course. This channel was recommended by Scott Wood..
You are very welcome, I'm glad it helped you.
Gonna watch this 300x in a row before my test. Thanks man!
Lol, I think 300 times is a bit excessive... repetition is the key to memorization. It will stick after some practice, good luck on your test 😀
I think 300 times is a bit excessive, lol. What I tell my students is... "repetition is the key to memorization "
I like what you just said because many people don't know about that they just jump in the truck and think they know everything actually I got my CDLs my class a and I actually passed my test the first first try
You are absolutely right ✅️ Congratulations on passing on your first attempt. 😀
Thank you so much sir
Your very welcome, glad it helped you out...
Great work
Thank you! Cheers!
My good teacher thanks
It's my pleasure
Great video John. I have a small question, with newer trucks that charge first the secondary tank and the primary starting to charge only after secondary has reached 100 psi, is it the same procedure? I have been told it changes to 60 to 100 psi
Yes same procedure, Just remember... Start timing when the first air service tank gauge reaches 50 p.s.i and stop timing when the other service tank gauge reaches 90 p.s.i
Thankyou
You’re welcome 😊
Thanks, John!! I needed the refresher. Great video
Glad it was helpful!
when first pulling out make sure trailer tires are by the cones and turn hard left then right, like a S turn... this video is harder than it should be
Yes, This video is in conjunction with the previous M.E.L.T requirements, The offsets have been revamped by the government to make it easier for the students. I preferred the harder offsets personally.
This is great, I appreciate the overview. I go over this weekly during the course, but it's nice to go over on the weekdays too. Cheers.
Glad it was helpful!
Best video ever to explain how to do it in right order, many thanks
You are welcome :)
Quick question, I go for my test tomorrow. I do the 2 minute leak test and it sounds like purging from one end of the truck to the other almost like a “pshhh” “pshhh” sound than it stops at around 90psi. Drops about 30psi total than it levels out. Is this normal? Many mechanics have said it’s normal but I’m not 100% fixated that it is. Please respond as soon as possible
It sounds like purging from the ABS modules. when you turn the engine off and put the key into the on position, Wait for the clicking of the modules to stop, then perform the leak check. that should fix your issue. :)
With the gauge measuring PSI in 25PSI increments, how do you know if you lose 6 psi over two minutes? That must be an awfully small move on the gauge. Is it a case of, "if there is a problem you will know for sure?" Or, is it if you see any noticeable lose of pressure, then you need to go find where the leak is coming form? Or both sometimes? Glad I found your channel.
Yes the psi loss is pretty much no more than the width of the needle on the guage. Because the airbrake system is a sealed system, there should be no unregulated air leaks. Hope this helps you out and thanks for watching 👀 😊
@@protruckdrivertipswithjohn9658That's great. Thanks.
You are very welcome...
Good point, digital air gauges would help
is that all i need to know to pass the brake test? I am learning about that stuff just now
There is alot more in regards to the actual system, but yes, before challenging the knowledge test it is wise to remember the procedure and pressures as it is also required to be demonstrated on a Provincial road test. And included on a driver's daily pre trip. Hope this helps you out. Thanks for watching 👀 🙂
I already pass the air brake now i how much more i need to learn to pass class 3 . And the air brake and the pre trip i will have to know 100 % .Your video is a big help Thank you
thank you for the great step by step explanation
You are very welcome

"Twooo meenuts lateurrr" made me laugh. Excellent demonstration.
LOL, thank you, glad you liked it.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Perfect
your Welcome
Very thoroughly and clearly explained about the air brake system. you are great mentor and professional. hat off to you.
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it. :)
Thabk you John!
Your welcome :)
He is the best one instrcter
Thank you for your compliment, Have a great one.
Thank you for teaching me ❤
My pleasure 😊
Is it a requirement on the class 3 road test to check and measure each slack adjuster?
Not in Alberta, It is more of a verbal confirmation. Basically the Examiner needs to know that you know how to verify and check brake adjustment and what to look for. Hope this helps you out...
Am in Montreal but I want to refresh in class 3 currently in Montreal but I have a foreign driver license what could be my possible way@@protruckdrivertipswithjohn9658
Wow tons of room and you still need a pull up.
Thanks for your comment...Nothing wrong with a pull up. The student had to use the pull up to position himself for the parallel offset backing maneuver he was performing next.
This is same with my truck
You did an amazing job on specifying the components, your explanation was very clean and understandable. Keep the good job
Thank you very much!
Thank you for this, quick easy tip 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks man
You're welcome!
Thank you sir
You are welcome :)
Thanks for this video John, doing my practical in about an hour. Question though,......at 2:40 when checking the protection system, you mention having a low air warning come on by 60 psi or above,.............your truck didn't indicate that on the dash or audibly, just the red button popped, am I missing something here?
It did display an audible and visual, the visual indicator is the red circle with the three tabs around it. :)
No audible heard
When you do the 2 minutes air leak do you leave the red and yellow pushed in?
Yes that's correct.
How many classes are there apart from 3 & 2?
Class 3 and 2 are the same procedure. Class 1 procedure includes the trailer.
When you push it in is it on or off?
If your referring to the dash valves (Yellow and Red Buttons) Just remember... Push to go, Pull to whoa!
@@protruckdrivertipswithjohn9658 thanks, another question: can you point out to me the important visual reference points in backing a tractor trailer?
Thanks so much for posting this. A class 2 isn't even worth getting anymore. Definitely helpful knowledge for the class 3
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome Video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Good job
Thanks
Practical tomorrow. Instructor recommended your video as a favorable resource. Thanks John, wish me luck!
Best of luck!
