Steve can you do a video from the inside for the backing menuaver last step of the skills test we always see outside but just to get a idea of from the inside how much to turn etc i think that will be al helpfull thanks again for all your great videos your really a good trainer 👍
@@lavernealexander708 first master the straight line backing. Then master or learn to move the trailer to the left and back to the right. The trailer only goes where you let it go. If the trailer starts to drift to the left, you steer to the left- as soon as the trailer starts to drift back to the right - don’t steer anymore. If it drifts to much to the right, stop it by steering a little to the right. Once you master or understand this, you can do the reverse back. Check all videos on reverse backing and also the offset videos. Who is the boss of the trailer- the trailer or you.? Back up and move that trailer to the left and right - making it dance and you are in control. It okay to make mistakes when practicing- just ask yourself what did I do wrong and try again.
The only thing I would say for the test that you left off would be removing seat belt, taking the key & with 3 points of contact get out & chock the driver side front wheel. Then climbing back in *(the same way). Then again after fanning the service brake to below 40 psi & both valves pop going to get the chocks *(the same way) to start in cab & tug test. Besides that great tutorial!
Review your CDL drivers manual: please state the page number and section for the seat belt. Removing the key- 🔑 chocking the front wheel ( yes if the tractor rolls away because the wheel was not chock, that a failure but students can also put it in first gear before fanning the air). Valves pop out at about 20 psi on most vehicles. I am a state tester but always follow your CDL school instructions. I follow the state CDL driver manual for testing. Thank you for your comment.

I will build up air pressure until the Governor cuts off between 120 - 140 psi. Keep your windows open - you will hear the hiss - tell the examiner: my governor has. Cut off at 120 ( or higher - give the psi) and is working properly. Know your vehicle- not all vehicles are the same- it’s your responsibility to know everything about this test.

So whenever standing by a running tractor you may hear that hissing. Hope this helps or your question was answered.
@truckerstevecdlinstructor wow that makes me think it will be a little easier for me my only worry was trying to remember everything thanks for the reply
Please review your CDL state drivers manual: send me the page number with the seat belt inspection. Also you are only required to inspect items on the check off list ( if you’re state is doing the updated test) so so me where the seat belt is on that list. Note: if your CDL school wants you to inspect the seat belts, DO IT! For safety reasons, all drivers should check their seat belts. Not on the test.
Oh yes I did! Did you View the entire video? When I first turned the key to the on position, I should have mentioned it at that point. When I did the indicators , I mentioned the ABS Indicators.
@@abrahamcisneros1425 yes, the only automatic failure is the air brake leak test. All other items, you can go back and inspect or inspect again if you feel you didn’t do it right the first time. Once you say this completes my pre-trip, it’s over.
He did not test air pressure loss in 1 min. without peddle applied 2psi tractor only, 3psi tractor with Trailer. Air loss allowed with Pedal applied loss 3psi tractor only 4psi tractor with Trailer
On the modernization test, there is three parts to the test. 1. The governor cut off between 120 to 140 psi - was done 2. Applied air pressure test. Firmly applied to Service break and allowed air pressure stabilize. Once the air pressure stabilize, the time started- the tractor trailer did not loose more than 4 psi in the one minute. That is step two- done Are you a tester? CDL Instructor?
@@truckerstevecdlinstructor Yeah I'm getting ready for my road test in a straight truck it's a automatic. One I pass that gotta take it again in a 6-speed manual then going for class A after all of this.

No longer training at a school but what backing skill do you need help with. Are you doing the new skills- reverse offset back?
Hey Steve, I'm in school now. I'm having a hard time with reverse offset.
Yes - updated skills all students and new drivers must master backing skills

When you do the air leak down test it's supposed to be my cut off my air governor will cut off and between 1:20 and 1:40 PSI not just 120
I will build up air pressure until the Governor cuts off between 120 - 140 psi.
Keep your windows open - you will hear the hiss - tell the examiner: my governor has. Cut off at 120 ( or higher - give the psi) and is working properly. Know your vehicle- not all vehicles are the same- it’s your responsibility to know everything about this test.
Thank you. Very helpful refresher!

Isn’t the pop out between 20 & 45psi?
Review your CDL drivers manual for your state. The psi for the pop out has changed under the new modernization test.
Could you please explain the rate of build air compressor 85 psi to 100 psi
Step 1 of the Modernization in-cab air brake leak test is :
Start up Engine ( suggested is to keep your driver window down ) to build up air pressure - you will build up air pressure until the Air Compressor cut off ( you will hear it - say my air compressor cut off at 120 psi ( some may cut off a little higher )

Thanks for clarification…..
When we are ready to go in the truck 🚚 shoukd i chock the wheels 🛞 or only do it when im about to do the air break test
Before you starting the in cab inspection, Chock your wheels.
Before getting into the cab.
@@truckerstevecdlinstructor gotcha do I remove them when I'm ready to do the service break test
@@AmericanTrucker89 when you complete the in cab or complete the pre trip inspection, remove the chock before starting your range skills.
You no show the brake pump and no show you me fire slender
Thus would fail in Washington you must start Governor cut out at 100 psi or below and you must announce PSI before and after brake test
