I wanna thank this video for helping me pass my class b with air breaks today. I learned more from this video than I did in my driving school. Very clear with pointing out each part, and simple to understand. Thanks for making this. This was huge for me to pass today.
I want to say thank you for this video Because your Video is Up to date on 55psi your warning buzzer comes on...Not 60 psi I failed today for this reason and I wish I saw this video sooner..I go on Friday for a retake, Thank You Brother
Mike was very patient with me during my pre-trip and In Cab / Air brakes test, even though I failed the skills test because I was nervous, but I’m going back within couple weeks to complete the rest of the CDL exam. I definitely will refer anyone I know who wanted to be succeed on their truck driver career. SMG is the place to go guys
I live in Melbourne Florida I got my class B CDL air break and tanker temps today. Based off this video and the good comments. I’ll be studying then drive over to take the pre inspection control and road test. Thanks for posting this video to help better prepare me.
Mike just wanted to say thanks for the road test today what a GREAT EXAMINER 👍 You are HANDS DOWN I recommend Mike to anyone talking a CDL test thanks SMG thanks to Mike again
Best place to get your CDL license guys. Watch the videos and will get everything right, I will recommend this place for anyone who’s ready to be a pro driver
It also depends on the taster my friends said the person didn't ask him all this shit. Checked a couple things then got in the truck. He was comfortable with him knowing alot of this stuff without asking him everything on the truck.
@LadyMocha, the verbiage in this video is not wrong, but you are right, there are "more correct" ways to state them. Our latest video, a Truck/Trailer Class A w/Air (pintle hitch), does have those more correct ways stated. Here is the recap portion of that new video that contains those "more correct" statements. Keep in mind (important), for a Class B, the system cannot lose more than 3 pounds of pressure, and not the four pounds stated in this Class A video in this link (the extra pound is for the connected trailer with air brakes): ua-cam.com/video/vGIbB6U5dTc/v-deo.htmlsi=z09pOlMMQrYkLvLf&t=2328 I apologize for the delay in answering!
Please help!!! 3/28/23 I have a serious question and I need an answer within the next two days before I take my test. I am a previous CDL holder of close to 10 years I am retaking the test for class b. In this video you said 60 PSI when fanning the brakes. I recently failed a pre-trip inspection because the instructor said it was 50 psi and I said 55 psi. According to my States handbook It says 55 PSI. So what is the real answer is it 50, 55, or 60 PSI for the warning light and signal???
In the video, we state between 55-60 PSI. That is not wrong, but it is now more accurate to say, "The low air warning should sound before it reaches 55 PSI."
@@smgtrucking yeah I was failed I initially said 55 to 60 and then the guy looked at me funny and I said I meant to say 55. He said it doesn't matter I'm failing you right now because it's supposed to be 50 psi This was at prosafe CDL in Indianapolis
The Pre-Trip inspection requirements should be the same nationwide. The backing maneuver requirements during the Skills Test may be somewhat different, for example, Florida does not require parallel parking during the CDL skills test. For Entry Level Driver Training (ELDT), no matter what state, you would have to demonstrate proficiency in all backing maneuvers, including parallel parking. ELDT and all its requirements (theory and Behind the wheel) are required federally -- the CDL Skills tests may still have small differences from state to state as I mentioned. I hope that makes sense.
When doing the test, you can say there is rust, but when you are completing the Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) Pre-Trip Inspection Skills Test, with the exception of the In Cab, Engine Start and Air Brake Check, you do NOT have to physically demonstrate the actual checks (e.g., pull the oil dip stick or actually use a pressure gauge to check the tire pressure), but you must name and point to or touch each item, and fully explain the reason for inspecting the item (you must ensure the tester knows what you are referring to). You will be graded on whether you know what to check each part for. During real life pre and post trip inspections when you find a discrepancy or defect (As taught in Module Four of the Entry Level Driver Training), you must fill out a DVIR and submit it to your motor carrier.
Everyone who wants a Commercial Driver's License (CDL). Successful completion of the pretrip inspection is a requirement for obtaining a CDL. This video example is for the Class B license.

Thank you mike!
I already got my Class B. But got this Job exam for The Bay Area Recology. I have to Perform this in front of a CHP Officer 👮♀️

During the testing, the examiner will be grading your knowledge. They will expect you to be able to complete a pre-trip without coaching.
I heard a lot of verbage has changed, like you no longer say 120 psi but 55 or something. Is there an updated video on the verbage of the pre-trip?

@@smgtruckingGreat answer
What vehicle you guys provide for class b automatic test?
We have a Sterling mini-wheeler dump truck with a Mercedes motor that is normally used for the Class B automatic.
Did I miss the static test?
Whereas some states may require a static check for leaks, Florida does not.
Hey does this video work for Minnesota drivers ? I’m gonna be going soon for my test in classes rn my first day is tomorrow

You don’t have to mention most of what this video is showing you on your test
But if you want to pass, I recommend that you do.
Why is it Diesel Techs don't need a CDL license? They do test drives
If they do test drives on public roads, they must have a CDL.
@@smgtrucking I don't understand how a guy can repair and inspect a truck without a CDL.
I have test tomorrow
Good luck! You got this!
I rehearsed what I learned from your video and I passed today , thank you ! From Texas.
Congratulations!!
Need to test
There is rust. So if you say no rust do you still pass? Or if you say there is rust then what?? All have rust unless it's brand new.
When doing the test, you can say there is rust, but when you are completing the Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) Pre-Trip Inspection Skills Test, with the exception of the In Cab, Engine Start and Air Brake Check, you do NOT have to physically demonstrate the actual checks (e.g., pull the oil dip stick or actually use a pressure gauge to check the tire pressure), but you must name and point to or touch each item, and fully explain the reason for inspecting the item (you must ensure the tester knows what you are referring to).

You think I could go based off this if I live in Texas?
You should find the pre-trip inspection the same across all states.
Do anyone know if this video would be okey to use for the NYS CDL class b road test ?
The pre-trip inspection items should be the same for all states.
@@smgtrucking thank you so much
You still use manual transmissions?
We have both automatic and manual transmissions available.
24:03 23:42 yup
How many ppl take this test
Everyone who wants a Commercial Driver's License (CDL). Successful completion of the pretrip inspection is a requirement for obtaining a CDL. This video example is for the Class B license.
Thats the same truck for test class b automatic?
