Thank you so much Mr. Butler, it has been hard for me to pass my pretrip inspection test, I am as old as the wind, words come and go without staying in my head, but, you make this very simple and easy to remember step by step, so, I will go and take the test this time and hopefully the DLI will approve me this time.
I wish you the best of the best, may God give you the ease of learning quickly, and always be safe when you drive. It's not your age my friend, it's very difficult for everyone, I have a big headache in this, and driving school goes so fast that I even feel like stupid sometimes.
Thanks, started truck driving school two weeks ago, love how you explained the in cab and brake inspection! Simple to the point! Some instructors want to over elaborate on the in cab and brake inspection!
Mr. Instructor, your lesson is spot on! I'm so happy I found your YT channel! - How about "Steering wheel has less than 2 inches of play on a 20 inch wheel" /
Not sure if you had the truck on, sounded like it was on during the air leak test. First time I went to take the test I failed because I had the truck on during the air leak test.
If in a manual transmission, you would have put the vehicle in gear then turned it off once reach gov cut out. use of clutch while truck is off and in gear is not needed.
The school that I signed up in gave me a reviewer for my pre-trip, in cab and air brakes. Should I need to memorize the whole script written on the paper and follow it words by words in exact order in my test day in front of the dmv examiner, or can I make my own script and with enough detailed explanation? The other thing surprise me I havent even start my training yet, but I am scheduled to the dmv within a month for the road test.
Definitely memorize the reviewer they gave you. However, make sure that you get to know the truck you will take to your test, as each truck can differ on parts or placement of them. Memorizing the reviewer gets what you need to say in your head, but visually practice will help you get your order of parts down pat. You have plenty of time while in school. They schedule you like that as times fill up fast and you don't want to wait a month after you graduate before you can test. You will get rusty.
@@TnCDLSchool Thanks man for the answer! I will do exactly as you advise. One last question,. I chose manual over automatic. If during the road test driving. If ever I can make it to pass on manual and switch to automatic in my next exam. What will be the procedure. Should i need to repeat all the exam from the very begining of the pre trip inspectiion for automatic truck and the next test after pretrip and so on?
It should as all states are supposed to be using the AAMVA testing model. But to be safe I would check with you local examiner if the air brake test has any special requirements.
Every state may be different, and yes in the real world that is a good idea to check, however as per the AAMVA testing module- that is not a requirement for passing a test. All that is needed to say is- Properly charged and secure.
The only way to check whether the trailer breaks are working or not is roll the vehicle up to 5 miles per hour, then apply the hand break (aka trailer breaks) without applying the service brakes/ foot breaks, and the vehicle should stop.
Abs light is covered on the outside pretrip inspection video. When doing an incab all that is needed is to say it came on and goes of when doing a safe start.
When you start your truck there is already enough air pressure so how can you say I’m waiting for air pressure lol you have to let the air leave if you want to speak about the the the cab things
You said when you were performing the one minute break test , you put your gear on drive and then when you finish your test you took off your foot of the brake pedal 😧
I was looking for this clown video , È First seat belt. Fire extinguisher, triangles. Fuses, windshield and side windows, mirror's, then safe start, check All gouges, check wipers and fluid. Heat and defrost. ALL lights and signal indicators, horns. Finish with the Break test Tug, Tug, Pull. Then both Air loss tests. No need to hop and skip all over the place. È
low air alarm should be between 80-60 psi and buttons pop between 40-20 psi. And you don't give a diesel GAS, you give it fuel. fuel pedal, not gas pedal. Too bad he didn't have a manual transmission.
How come you didn't mention the height and the weight of the truck? I thought that was part of the incab inspection? I got point take off for not saying that, I guess it's different!
Every video misses that one. Every vid Ive seen, the instructor/professional misses multiple impt things. How can a student be expected to address them if all the "pros" miss it? Sigh
Did he really do the service brake test with NO HANDS on the wheel LOL!!! You are certainly still supposed to LIGHTLY hold onto the wheel absolutely positively 100%. Also, don't call the FUEL gas, it's not GASOLINE. It's diesel FUEL! It's not a "gas pedal"....
U didn’t even say ur seat belt was securely mounted on the truck just to start there u say things that don’t need to and the ones u need to u don’t say them
At :36 the wording used on screen are what the examiners need to hear. Sometime when being recorded ones can get nervous just like students that test. So all the subtitles are there to make sure what you need to know is available.
@@TnCDLSchool my friend that is how you politely put someone in check. You are very professional and your video is helping me out a lot along with others. Thanks

Very good air break test good instruction
Great instructor
very good instruction. Thank your Sir.
Nicely done 💪🏾
This guy was very straight forward no extra bs, appreciate the video, very well done and very helpful
Gotta also check steering wheel play : less than 2'' on 20'' wheel. Also, probable should check compressor cut in......overall great job.
thank you for the instruction
Thanks for the video!!! Awesome!
Is 10 degrees of steering wheel play still a check point?
No sir it is not in all states or in the AAMVA testing module.
No
Thank you! So helpful 🙏🏾
Glad it was helpful!
Not sure if you had the truck on, sounded like it was on during the air leak test. First time I went to take the test I failed because I had the truck on during the air leak test.
Exactly
Question?? Whenever you doing your Air brakes text, Do you keep your foot on the clutch? Or you dont have to?
If in a manual transmission, you would have put the vehicle in gear then turned it off once reach gov cut out. use of clutch while truck is off and in gear is not needed.
@@TnCDLSchool Thank You
I felt it was a good incab inspection
my only question is the truck your using automatic or manual 🤔
Automatic

So turn the truck off and bring it to on but dont start it right ?

Could this be used for California as well?
It should as all states are supposed to be using the AAMVA testing model. But to be safe I would check with you local examiner if the air brake test has any special requirements.
I’m assuming he wheel chock the drive wheels before he started the in cab and air brake test.
Some things have changed which don’t need to be mentioned anymore since July & august 2023 pre trip Incab , Air breaks even outside too
didnt check fire Ex is up to code and securely mounted
Every state may be different, and yes in the real world that is a good idea to check, however as per the AAMVA testing module- that is not a requirement for passing a test. All that is needed to say is- Properly charged and secure.

Watching b4 test tomorrow
for a safe start aren't you suppose to state that the primary air gauge is below 80psi and is good to do a safe start.
Coal truckers in Kentucky don’t do any of this stuff some don’t even fill out the paperwork
DIDnt say anything about ABS lights and how to identify that they work.
Abs light is covered on the outside pretrip inspection video. When doing an incab all that is needed is to say it came on and goes of when doing a safe start.
Thank you my instructors are ass there never here and when they are they end up disappearing for a hour or 2
So no door and window opening and closing
For the first 3 brake test. Leaks, low air warning and spring breaks. Why is your truck on ??? Book clearly read “ truck must be off “.
I thought the same thing…
You forgot about the break pedal and the gas pedal that's there's no loose part PMS not CBB and no more than 2 inches of play
Although, that is good to check, those items are not on the AAMVA testing model which CDL examiners use to grade.
When you start your truck there is already enough air pressure so how can you say I’m waiting for air pressure lol you have to let the air leave if you want to speak about the the the cab things
You said when you were performing the one minute break test , you put your gear on drive and then when you finish your test you took off your foot of the brake pedal
😧
You might have a bulge on your windshield, check that again 😂
Would of been handy if the in-cab inspection was a separate video. Air brake and most other aspects of inspections vary between countries.
Why check the phucking seals on door and winsheild? Not like that is on the test.

Great explanation although you FAILED!! You didn't chick wheels initially and why did you place gear in drive when doing the pump down test?
He’s definitely going to get a lot of people to fail. He didn’t even mention losing 3 psi
If you don’t know about losing 3 psi or 4 on a combo you deserve to fail.
Every video misses that one. Every vid Ive seen, the instructor/professional misses multiple impt things. How can a student be expected to address them if all the "pros" miss it? Sigh

Horrible in cab. Jumping all over the place. Not organized
