Great job very informative. Its amazing what the human brain is capable of retaining. We need more drivers like you on the road. good luck on your test.
That was my trainer. If you don't know to click your seatbelt and need to be told in a video, you deserve to fail... I passed my tests (verbal and driving) from this man (Levelle) training me on my first exam and now drive a tour bus. Secret: I knew to click my seatbelt from when I got my first drivers license when I was 16.......

Hmmmm..Applied test. he did not release the parking brake after applying the service brake peddle. And something about the guy on the left in the bluejeans is very distracting.
Greenleaf Murals Lol. He did a good job. Knit-picking every aspect of the run through is pointless and yes, seems he needs to zip his fly. I caught that AFTER i posted. Thank ya though for your comments. I hope you did well on your exam.
@@fargeeks that's not an auto fail. When doing the leak down test you have to turn the bus off and then turn the switch back to Night Run so the warning buzzers activate when needed.
@@fargeeks you don't do that part of the air brake test with the engine running. Once you do the cut in and out you are to cut the engine off and turn on the ignition only.. This is the part of the test where you need to have the wheel chocked if it's not already because you'll be releasing the parking brake.

If failed then how did i pass my driving test IN THAT SAME BUS? No, depth was fine. Bus was fine and Lavelle was a great teacher. Quit looking for failures. Look for positives you can use to assist you in your test. Your school should teach you. The video is for reference
@@thetonydolesshow2519 , Did I say anything about you? The fact is that DMV don't check for tire thread depth, duh? And this was just a simple observation from my point of view, okay? I give you a little advice, when driving the bus your passagers is going to say things100% worst than this simple innocent observation. Learn to ignore things and move on, because reality going to step through your bus door every single time you stop to pick up a passager. 🤔 P.S. I have been Bus Driver for 27 years, and I'm happy that you passed and that you now driving a tour bus.
Big sexy This guy trained me on the bus there and i passed my driving test with flying colors. A straight truck is not a bus which is what hes training his drivers to drive. Straight trucks are only about 24ft. I drive a 40ft double deck, open top, tour bus daily with upwards of 75 passengers. Never had an accident, never a problem due to his training. Whether you agree with his methods or not, hes effective. 90% of his class graduates.
The AirBreak Test is the most important duty that you can perform, besides actually driving the bus. I have driven trucks and buses, and this Airbreak Test was performed t perfectly.
brake test is very important for busses, we take human as loads, and we use the brakes more frequently because we drive in the cities with traffic and traffic lights.
When you have up to 56 passengers lives in your hand, maybe you want to pre-trip the tire pressure, leaks, tread, broken or cracked rims etc. Its just a job, but people rely on you to get them to their destination safely.
@@смиренный-х2б , you dealing with airbreaks, sir. If you don't Pre-Trip the bus, especially performing the Airbreak Test, you can lose Air Pressure, and cause major fatalities. Pre-Trip the bus without exception.
My goodness. American buses look so old fashion compare the what ous do. (Norwegian busses) They look even older than ours did in the 1980s.... I've been to the USA many times, and as a bus driver myself, this is interesting. Here are some links to some random Norwegian buses from the '80s...

good god, you have old looking buses in the states!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have good Nice cars, the very best planes, but when it comes to buses, shit!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your door handle is really badly placed, not ergonomic at all. Wouldn't see myself driving this 40 hours a week, will end up with severe elbow or shoulder pain.
Sir, you realize drivers drove these things just like this almost 20 years!! It didn't matter what bus you drive. If you make this a career you will have body injuries by the time you retire.. Driving anything 8 -16 hours a day is physically draining and body damaging
Just feel like the industry just push n push these driver with out really giving them the real knowledge about a proper Know how also the students have no idea but other wise do to what they are train too do n nope not bAnging on classes for I have onces been in the same shoes walk the same walk what makes me upset is the industry that push the student too hurry up and some of the bus driver have got certified buy there company not but school didn't have too go thew DMV training
Hector Garcia The comment made ME laugh. Are we gang banging now about better schools, instructors and bus conditions? The video is great for instruction purposes and Lavell does a great job.

pora radi, that was about a year ago. I passed on the first try and now drive a tour bus.
Thank you for the kind comment
@@thetonydolesshow2519 no problem sir i offer you some cookies if you like
As a veteran driver of 28 years, this was an excellent inspection inside and out. Mr. Doles, a job well done.
I actually want to be a bus driver but after seeing how good this young man is with explaining everything I know I definitely will fail.
You will not fail
Swift doubt is your own worst enemy. Take that doubt out and you will be successful.
Study for the test. RRR, you will pass for sure! Think positive.
I just passed my CDL-B exam with passenger and air brake and school bus endorsements…I knew I could do it so I did it…you have to believe in yourself…

The man should be bus mechanic,he is very smart young man,he know about the bus back of his head.i am very proud of the young man do this video.
I remember my training. SMND = Securely Mounted and Not Damaged. Have to repeat that like a mofo.
RTS, My favorite American Making Models always.
Good video but why I gotta see your friends belly lmso
SWEET BUS THERE GREAT WAY TO GO NICE RIDE
Woah, a suburban seating RTS? I’ve never seen one setup like that before. All the ones I drove had standard transit seating
Yes VERY rare but golden gate transit ran them for many years

Tony Doles That is my favorite charter bus
This guy is good!
No illegal stickers?
FAILED (No seatbelt) DOT REGULATION. If you were to take this with an DOT Inspector and you don't click your seatbelt you would be failed 100%.
mI me2 and if you put the key in the off position then that is also a Auto fail
@@fargeeks that's not an auto fail. When doing the leak down test you have to turn the bus off and then turn the switch back to Night Run so the warning buzzers activate when needed.

My test was much harder than this. The verbiage was also more concise and complete. This video looked retarded, much like everything in California.
I don't blame you, though. You are just a product of your horrible system.
You have 18 minutes to complete the Pre-Trip, we were trained at Metro to do it in 13 minutes. The front right tire failed (thread depth).
If failed then how did i pass my driving test IN THAT SAME BUS?
No, depth was fine.
Bus was fine and Lavelle was a great teacher.
Quit looking for failures.
Look for positives you can use to assist you in your test.

When you transport people, it has to be double checked.
Ya I'd fail it. Turn the key fire it up there's my Pretrip.
If it turns on and your brake pedal works time to drive.
When you have up to 56 passengers lives in your hand, maybe you want to pre-trip the tire pressure, leaks, tread, broken or cracked rims etc.
Its just a job, but people rely on you to get them to their destination safely.
