How did it go. Have mine on 6/16/24.. am currently working for a company here in McAllen tx. But their pre-trip is way different.. majority is the same just the wording is different..
I searched and listened to many videos posted by my current school but this one felt the most clear, concise, and thorough! I'm on my last week of school. Comfortable with driving, with skills. But my pre trip is weak and i know it. I'm 100% certain that this video will make me pass. Let's watch it again.
Just so you guys know, using the information in this video I aced my test. The tester was impressed with my knowledge and all I did was basically parrot everything here. So you'll do great if you study here
I’m in class rite now … and I found this video yesterday… best pretrip inspection video I’ve seen… super helpful… explaining everything was my only worry til now..
I am in the process ti get my CDL A and definitely this is the best video that I ever seen. The paper that school gives me. It doesn’t even have half of this professional dude is teaching for pre trip inspection. I don’t even reading the paper from school. I watch this video 30 times a day. Thank you Sir for sharing this information
Mine doesnt either but they say its because the dmv has removed a lot of the information he is saying. They tell us to stick with what our paper says because its still passing.
We only have two weeks to learn all this stuff. They’ve send us from work to take the course and believe me Ricardo Balli, Alex, and Homer are good instructors. Personally me, yes I feel under pressure. So little time and a lot to do, but I trust this guys. They are good at Safe Drive Academy.
Great video! I just started class on Monday and we are already getting tested by our instructors on pre and post trip. I love how this video progresses with each section in order! This will be go to channel for anything CDL related! Keep up the great work🎉
I now understand why Hispanics are one of the best in terms of hands on practice work.. it is because they have a lot of patience and take they time to teach or to learn.. This video is a great example.. I am black and my comment is not in any way to downplay any race,but everyone certainly knows what I am talking about
Wanted to give recognition & thanks for all your help, just got my Cdl in Austin, TX. I got my knowledge & training thru ACC. I used this video for more knowledge, Also used the web, Chegg special requirements flash cards, Proprofs General Cdl examination & Playstore apps Cdl prep , DMV Genie. Thanks again & keep up the great work.
I just started class last week in Iowa and our pre trip doesn't have most of this stuff. According to our instructors it has just recently changed and we only have about a third of what it used to be.
@@SafeRideDA my pleasure. I'm in class in Florida and I listen to this video while driving because it helps me memorize for my test. That instructor was prior military?

Hey Pete, I was pulling in the docks when you were doing the video. I subscribed after I saw the channel on your door. Lake Michigan, Bay Beach Amusement Park, Zippen Pippen. Don't know if you're still in the area, but Lambeau Field and Packer Hall of Fame are biggies. Also, the national railroad museum.
Im gonna be starting school in a week, and I feel so overwhelmed with all the things u need to know. I feel like this career is too much liability idk what Iam getting myself into. Good job on the video btw
remember rome wasnt built in a day my friend study study study it will be easy to want to stop so work after school on what you are having problems with and you will do fine
I don't think this video is accurate depending on your state there are new rules and less stuff to memorize no more alternator etc so much easier now definitely call your school or something ask
Same when I started school I felt the same way but I can almost guarantee by the end of the first two weeks you will either have all the hope an faith in yourself or will know it’s not for me but if you love to drive or want this job it will come to all in due time
You failed as soon as you start that truck!”at least one hand should be on the steering wheel at all times” please keep a hand on the wheel as soon as you get in the truck…
Not missing nuts or bolts isn’t required for every thing! Cause theres items that doesn’t even have bolts .. depending on your school they will teach you different ways on saying this to avoid confusion like this
Yes , properly mounted and secured Not broken, cracked or Loose No missing nuts or bolts You can also add at the end all hardware is present Also this is for Texas other states are different but that’s how I’m doing it , just keep on practicing and using flash cards it honestly helps speed up the process
Ima study this and once I finish studying all of this and have it perfectly memorized I will take my written test. Then ima go to this one school that’s $2000 and I am going to tell them hey I got everything done i already made my driving test appointment and am ready to take my pre-trip as well. It’s due tomorrow. So here $2000 let me use your truck lol I’m only going to be in school for 1 day and pass 😂😂😂😂
Repetition! I just started on Monday and it is a lot of information to take in but whats helped me remember everything is inspecting different sections at a time and getting familiar with it. Granted I’m very new at this so I do make mistakes trying to memorize things but just keep repeating them and you’ll eventually get it down.
After you drive for a while and you actually do your pre-trip inspection (never skip your pre-trip), you will spot something out of place instantly. The more you look over your truck, the better you will be at spotting problems. DOT will inspect everything, so you should to. Every part of the inspection is important, but tires are something you should check every time you stop. Thump the tires real quick and look at them to make sure your treads are not about to fall off and they are full of air. And that damned ABS system on the trailer will go out all the time.
It goes tug test Then test service brake Then you build air til the sneeze Then you do your leak test Then fan brakes to alarm at 55 psi then buttons pop at 40 psi Try doing it in the order he did instant fail on the test
Same here.. I am paying $2300 for my school and they barely speak English and they don’t care about teaching very much. You basically have to fight to get a turn in the trucks at the school because the other students are very inconsiderate. It is too late to get my money back and I only have 1 month of vacation time available so it isn’t worth backing out. I am basically using UA-cam videos like these ones and a homemade pretrip inspection booklet that contains pictures. I am doing well but it is only because I am basically teaching myself.
You don't have to say anything about water pump or any of the extra stuff my friend just coolant oil and hoses and suspension and rims tires to much add ons
Separating the parts by categories will help you alot more by not forgetting any parts. Otherwise youll be all over the place not knowing what parts you have named or left out.
This video is okay he doesn’t talk about any of the hoses and seat belt I dislike how he didn’t mention any of the other main breaks or suspension parts but ima make my own video one day to shit on this one.
This video is properly mounted and secured.
It seems silly honestly. But it's required on the test. 100% gotta say it for every single part
You forgot that it’s not broken, cracked or loose. And no missing nuts or bolts 😭😭
😂😂😂😂
And not leaking
😂😂😂
Thank you for your video I watch it every morning before school and I passed today
Congratulations 4m pa
I have my test next month, I’ve watched a lot of pre-inspection videos. So far this one is the BEST one! Thank you 🙏
Agreed
Hoping you passed?

Hi. Thank you for watching. Im glad you enjoyed our videos. I hope they help.
We need the new updated pre trip video one... Please
Also, with the steps, you can add - clean & clear of any debris which can make me fall!
Also “it can hold my weight”

You got this bro!
remember rome wasnt built in a day my friend study study study it will be easy to want to stop so work
after school on what you are having problems with and you will do fine
I started at 19 and felt the absolute same way brother its okay to be honest it’s a ride but do this by yourself and with God
I don't think this video is accurate depending on your state there are new rules and less stuff to memorize no more alternator etc so much easier now definitely call your school or something ask

A lot of this is no longer in the Pre-Trip. Atleast where I’m at.
Great video though. Definitely can help people who are looking to get a cdl
best pre trip video i've seen!
Not missing nuts or bolts isn’t required for every thing! Cause theres items that doesn’t even have bolts .. depending on your school they will teach you different ways on saying this to avoid confusion like this
He did it right but all the extra words will confuse people alot
Quick tip through all the fluids together (coolant ,engine oil , power steering fluid)
You cant do all fluids together or all parts at the same time. You need to name each item separately and inspect them individually.

@@positiveenergynonegativity4125He’s right
The BEST video out there thank you!!!!
I already have my cdl but some jobs orientation they ask for pre trip
I told my trainer my head is securely mounted but may be broken and missing parts
Love you for this video I pass my test thanks to this video
Tanks Ricardo, you explain clearly, this video is the best!!
Excelente video explicativo de las diferentes partes de un camión remolque
Very thorough Ricardo thank you so very much.
Thats my unit looks like. The engine cabin was so bright and clean free from dust and foreign matters. Its yeah class a cdl means
During the air break test I didn't hear about the air governor cut off that should go of at around 125psi?
Do you have to say properly mounted and secured for everything?
Yes , properly mounted and secured
Not broken, cracked or Loose
No missing nuts or bolts
You can also add at the end all hardware is present
Also this is for Texas other states are different but that’s how I’m doing it , just keep on practicing and using flash cards it honestly helps speed up the process
@@lordcheese489noted.
I guess here in New Mexico they don’t ask for so much information like in this video there not properly mounted and secured I guess
Will this video get updated for 2024
Yes, we will make a new video for maneuvers and pretrip when the new regulations take effect.
@@SafeRideDA ok thank you
This guy is good
Great video 💯
THANK YOU RICARDO!!!!!!

Great video!! Very informative
Ima study this and once I finish studying all of this and have it perfectly memorized I will take my written test. Then ima go to this one school that’s $2000 and I am going to tell them hey I got everything done i already made my driving test appointment and am ready to take my pre-trip as well. It’s due tomorrow. So here $2000 let me use your truck lol I’m only going to be in school for 1 day and pass 😂😂😂😂
Take my test today start of a new chapter!
I thought it’s 100-110 psi ?🤔 correct me if I’m wrong pls!🙂
120-140 psi
How am I supposed to remember all this
Repetition! I just started on Monday and it is a lot of information to take in but whats helped me remember everything is inspecting different sections at a time and getting familiar with it. Granted I’m very new at this so I do make mistakes trying to memorize things but just keep repeating them and you’ll eventually get it down.
Go to practice and repeat in front your tractor and trailer. This helps me
Great Job! Thanks
Is this a automatic engine???
This particular vehicle was a 10spd manual transmission. But the pretrip would be the same if it was an automatic transmission
Awesome video
Do you have a time limit to do your whole entire inspection?
After you drive for a while and you actually do your pre-trip inspection (never skip your pre-trip), you will spot something out of place instantly. The more you look over your truck, the better you will be at spotting problems. DOT will inspect everything, so you should to.

And that damned ABS system on the trailer will go out all the time.
It goes tug test
Then test service brake
Then you build air til the sneeze
Then you do your leak test
Then fan brakes to alarm at 55 psi then buttons pop at 40 psi
Try doing it in the order he did instant fail on the test
Front of tractor hub oil seal, rear tractor call axle seal.☺
Do you seriously have to say this on every part to pass your test? Honest question.
4-32's of what?
Tire thread 4/32 for front wheels and back wheels are always 2/32
Thanks so much!!!
This video is not Brocken cracked or loose
Not broken cracked or lose,
