The video is very good, thanks, the only problem I see is that they don't point to the pieces, when people see this video it's because we don't know many pieces and for example at minute 14:04 it talks about 5 different things and shows practically the same thing, For the beginning guys, you don't know which is which. I would say that this video would become one of the best if they put a circle or marked the piece with a red line to identify it. Thanks for the video, I will watch it many times.
I completely understand what you're saying. The same thing happens earlier in the video when talking about the parts that make up the steering linkage. I'll speak to my boss and see if there's some way for us to update the video with the parts highlighted because I can understand how for parts like 7:16 with the steering linkage and 14:04 like where you mentioned, it can be particularly confusing. Thank you so much for your feedback!
I'm in San Antonio Texas and I've been practicing all week on my pre-trip I have my driving lesson on the 5th of December 2022 next week, they gave us his paper to study over and plus the instructor tells us we have to say bent, broken, or cracked have for rubber flexible items it is cut, cracked, or frayed. But yes those are the main things to say and plus no missing screws or bolts and no leaks for for reservoirs and hoses.
We hope your driving lesson went well! Sorry for the late reply. There are several good ways to help you remember what you should be looking for during the inspection; we have tried to cover it all with the three phrases @Habeev07 shared from the video: "Properly mounted and secure. Not cracked, bent, or broken. No abrasions, bulges, or cuts." We hope that when you combine all three phrases, it will help you with issues you might see in flexible rubber objects, like hoses, as well as permanent metal parts like some tanks, and removable metal parts, such as lug nuts. Good luck with your test!
I have no idea what specific parts you are talking about? When conducting a test with the DMV you are required to point at what part you are examining. It would not be hard to highlight each part being examined in this video, just change the color of the part as they are talking about it. simple.
@*rambowzlethal* LMAO side note in any and EVERY pre trip inspection video EVERY SINGLE PERSON points to the part they are examining while explaining. SMH
@*rambowzlethal* lmao i already found multiple videos since this horrible video that actually POINT to the parts like you are required to do at the dmv lmao gtfo with google and your husband.
Nice video but the front part is missing , radiator hose ,caps , belts water pump,alternator wires, oil stick ,etc im still in school , at dmv its not required that part ?
Okay yeah I don't know what state this is but I didn't finish watching it because I'm looking for something in San Antonio Texas and I'm getting no videos on it let me dig deeper because when you were doing the front pre-trip with the headlights and stuff we were told to also include the clearance lights.
This video is meant to be used for all states, so we have covered the things that will be covered in (almost) all states. But you're absolutely right that you should also look at your state's CDL manual before your pre-trip inspection. The Texas CDL Manual's prologue lists ALL the parts you'll be expected to identify and inspect during your pre-trip inspection, which is a huge help, and clearance lights/lamps are included. Here is a link to that manual (completely free and able to be downloaded), and the list is on page iv at the very beginning: driving-tests.org/texas/tx-cdl-handbook/
@@Driving-testsOrg yes I did watch the whole video along with some of the videos here in San Antonio and studied the book I passed yesterday on December 20th, I got my CDL-A.
Question, let’s say I’m taking my test at the dmv, and the coolant reservoir is NOT proper level, what do I say? That’s it’s not proper level or it’s proper level? This is just an example because obviously I can’t actually check everything during the pre trip test. The coolant reservoir is just an example.
You should check your levels before you go to the DMV to ensure that they're at the proper level; you don't want to start your exam and have shown that you or someone else drove to the DMV with the truck coolant reservoir at an unsafe level. Everything for your vehicle inspection needs to match the safe levels the DMV expects. Beyond that, we'll use California as an example since you didn't mention your state. Either you will be asked to examine the engine compartment, in which case you will need to show everything on the list for the engine compartment (like a coolant reservoir), which includes the coolant level, or if you are not asked to do that section of the vehicle during your vehicle inspection test, you will not be asked about the coolant level. Here is a link to everything you might be expected to check, and it's quite extensive (look at section 11.7.2): www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/handbook/commercial-driver-handbook/section-11-vehicle-inspection-test/
This is a good video but can you guys update it with an arrow showing the parts because it says the parts but doesn’t show where exactly your talking about! Besides that everything else is good and perfect just please get a updated video showing the parts with an arrow or something like that so we know the exact parts. Please and thank u!
Because most DMV/DOT/RMV/etc. offices require you to bring your own truck for the test, we very strongly recommend that you go through the entire pre-trip inspection BEFORE you arrive for your test. First of all, this will relieve any nervousness. Second of all, this will ensure, for your sake, that nothing is not properly mounted or secured before you arrive. The point of a pre-trip test is to show that your vehicle is safe to drive. If anything is "wrong," your vehicle will be determined unsafe to drive and you will not be allowed to continue your test. This may be determined a test failure, so we do not recommend it. You haven't mentioned what state you're in, but this page from Oklahoma, on Question 9, talks about the purpose of the pre-trip: oklahoma.gov/dps/faqs/commercial-driver-license-cdl/cdl-skills-test-faq.html Remember, after you pass your test, if it is ever discovered that something you should have checked during the pre-trip inspection is not safe/acceptable/properly mounted, you could be fined or forced to keep your truck off the road until it's fixed.
@@williamwood7348 if you have your permit and a licensed driver who will bring their truck with you, sure! It doesn't have to be in your name. But you can't drive the truck without being accompanied by a legal licensed driver.
Unfortunately, mentioning every single item that you need to know for the pre-trip inspection would create a roughly hour-long video and we weren't sure anyone would want to watch a video that long (THOUGH there are videos of pre-trip inspections that long, and they cover windshield wipers). The phrases we mention at the beginning are ones that will help you cover every detail: "properly mounted and secure" for the wipers" and "not cracked, bent, or broken" for the windshield. Hope this helps! And we WANT you to pass, so if an hour-long video covering everything, including wipers, would be helpful, maybe try this one that looks good (maybe some other people wouldn't recommend another channel's video, but we want you to be prepared): ua-cam.com/video/EfW615ZnELE/v-deo.html
Hey! We're sorry if this wasn't clear. The video lists the condition the landing gear should be in by the end of your inspection; we show the landing gear, in particular, at an intermediate stage because that's the best way to be able to view it. Unlike some sections of the truck, some pieces of the landing gear will be less visible when stowed. So, for example, right before 15:44, it talks about ensuring that the landing gear, including the crank handle and legs, is up and checking that the legs go up and down, but as you can see, the legs are not completely stowed either, just like you mention about the crank handle, because we wanted you to be able to see them both clearly. We also don't show the legs going up and down. We hope this clarifies it, and good luck with your test!
This wasn't very helpful. The CGI video is excellent, but just panning and not highlighting parts for beginners makes an otherwise great video almost useless.
beautiful videography,,BUT (and it's a big butt! 🥴).... PLZ at least point to the part you are talking about ..if you would put the same amount of time/quality (you put into camara angles ),into identifying the parts you are talking about ,you would have an awesome video. But you didn't, For this reason,I'm gonna have to give you a thumbs down + couple eye rolls . 👎🙄 I know you can do waaay better.
Properly mounted and secure ///
Not cracked bent or broken ///
Abrasions, bulges, or cuts ///
We were told all hoses we should say not cut, spliced, or leaking. As they are class a parts and should only be replaced, not repaired
You can just say properly mounted , not damaged and not broke
Theses words will be forever imprinted in my brain
Wires aren’t abrasions, bulges and cuts. Wires shouldn’t be cut, exposed or frayed.
The video is very good, thanks, the only problem I see is that they don't point to the pieces, when people see this video it's because we don't know many pieces and for example at minute 14:04 it talks about 5 different things and shows practically the same thing, For the beginning guys, you don't know which is which.

Thank you. Great review. I'm mostly amazed that was a CGI truck. Totally fooled me for the first 5 min.
Finally a quality pre-trip inspection instruction video. Beautiful voice calm and professional no extraneous words unlike how the dumb men do it
Probably the best video out there, she talks in a very clear way that’s easy to remember.
Suggestion- Highlighted or arrowed parts during explanation for a more efficient learning video.
I'm in San Antonio Texas and I've been practicing all week on my pre-trip I have my driving lesson on the 5th of December 2022 next week, they gave us his paper to study over and plus the instructor tells us we have to say bent, broken, or cracked have for rubber flexible items it is cut, cracked, or frayed.

This is ridiculous. Anybody in any state would fail miserably using this video.
Arrows would have been helpful for sure
That's an interesting kind of rust on the truck frame. Never seen anything like that before. Has a kind of nostalgic patina to it!😉
Ha! We definitely try to make our CGI as realistic as possible. We hope it has that "well-traveled, but well-cared for" feeling. 😉
Nice video but the front part is missing , radiator hose ,caps , belts water pump,alternator wires, oil stick ,etc im still in school , at dmv its not required that part ?
My school didn’t teach us to say properly mounted secured on all items, which caused me to fail the pre-trip inspection..
VERY HELPFUL VIDEO JUST WISH YOU POINTED OUT THE PARTS
Did you get your CDL?
Wish they circle or pointed the part for everyone other then that cool video
Hd video and clear voice . Good video
I take my cdl test this Monday coming up 11/6/2023
For automatic and manual trucks do you still say gear drivin for automatics as you do for manuals ? For air compressor and steering pump and such sort
Yes still gear driven , they are gear driven by the engine itself not the transmission
Thanks
Madness
Pre trip inspection is easy.
Yyyoooo. That door opened itself!!!
Yes, in our spare time, we try to teach some of the older trucks new tricks. We're so glad it worked! ;)
what all changed?? (got my cdl in 2021) just the wording and it is shorter???
God I love this thing ❤❤❤

Mud flaps.. you forgot to say no less than six inches from the ground
From top to bottom will be much easier then going all over like she's doing.
