I wanted to say thank you for this video! I passed my CDL exam (third time's a charm!) a few weeks ago, and I talked through my driving portion like you did in the video. The examiner commented at the end how she thought my narration demonstrated my knowledge really well. Thanks from central Maryland!
Did this and passed . Just talked the whole time out loud and it kept me calm and safe I was pointing out all hazards and my lane switches etc thanks buddy
Thank you sir for these great tips. When I told my examiner that I was going to inch forward to get a better view. He told me that’s exactly what you’re supposed to say and do at this spot otherwise you won’t see upcoming traffic. He gave me the feeling I was going to pass and I did. Also calling out the signs and telling them when you’re preparing to stop is also great. It tells them you’re focus on the road.
Thank you bro. I passed my CDL test today in an automatic. The way you broke the process all the way down was very helpful. I will try again in a manual but I need more practice down shifting. Thank you for all those driving videos, your a great teacher. I appreciate all your help.
Thank you for really breaking it down, I’m going to be taking my CDL in a week and I feel much more informed and confident now. You have my sub and like. Drive safe out there brother💯
How did you do? I’m taking my rest April 19th I feel comfortable with the pre trip and maneuvers just need some pointers on the road test on what they look for vs what is an auto fail or points. Thanks
@@FaroutTruckin I forgot what it’s called but I know you have to take like a writing test or bubbles sheet test before you actually train in the trucks. Like, is that test hard?
jeez if you were an impatient trucker and sped up on the turn to the gas station, that would have been an awful crash. Good stuff on taking it slow. That guy is extremely lucky someone like you was behind the wheel!
Today is my test exam, watching your video today really helps with all the details, that last seconds of the video were crazy, that idiot shouldn’t cut you out like this 😡
This video is helpful compared to what I watched before this. Didn't know you had to call all this stuff out so now I feel more confident taking my test this Tuesday 💪🏽💪🏽.
I have my test this Thursday, I'm confident enough that I know I will pass. I got my whole pretrip perfected, in cab perfected, backing as well. Also I'm good on the road, I'm excited to get my CDL.
Im going to All time driving school for my CDL A in medford.I see you're on long island idk if you live here or just working here this day but im Glad to find a driver thats trucking on long island ... you got my sub
literally me dude, paid 3k for a shitty school that only lets you get like 4 manuevers and 1 trip around the block for road time....its super ass. luckily i learn pretty quickly and i really want this as my career. i test on the first of next month
Awesome video man. Just what I need for my road re-test tomorrow. Got nervous and grinded gears to a complete stop. Didn't go to a driving school, and was told if I couldn't find gears off the start to stop, and restart threw the gears. Auto fail. Hope to do much better tomorrow! Thanks much for posting all the good info!

Great video. In additonal when you record another video. Can you announce what gear you’re in after coming to a complete stop when you reset? Also i wanted to ask you shouldn’t shifting in the intersection even if your the first at the signal light? Will you be graded for impeding traffic?
You’ll be tested with an empty trailer/tank/etc. A bit of advice (what i did during my road test,) was announce to the instructor that you shouldn’t shift through an intersection, railroad, etc. BUT, start out in 3rd or 4th gear and you should have enough speed to comfortably make it though the intersection and because you aren’t loaded you won’t bog the engine.. I would recommend attempting to start in both while at an intersection and see if the truck can start out in 4th and it’s not going to bog the truck down. If you don’t have the opportunity to practice in the truck you’ll test in i would say go with 3rd it’s a safe gear. If you start out on a hill use 2nd all the way until you clear the intersection.
Just when you said that there were no obstructions on the road you passed by one of those plastic cones by the side of the road. I actually failed the test because the examiner said I went to close to it. I thought to my self that there is no harm in the plastic cones since they are just plastic but any thing on the road is an obstruction and you have to lower the speed and maybe even use the turn signal to cross on to the other lane!
you did note that you aren't supposed to shift in the intersection, yet i noticed the whole drive you were shifting in the intersections. Is that because you're driving a 10 speed or 13 speed? My truck that I will take a road test in is a 6 speed trainer truck.
In the real truck driving world, we shift in intersections if necessary. You cannot for the test, however. The real world vs school is completely different.
My test is tomorrow but I was told not to speak to the examiner and just be in awkward silence🤷🏻♂️ I don’t want the examiner to perceive my kindness for weakness.
So my instructor told me for the dmv test getting off the freeway you have to be in 5th gear and 20mph on an Eaton Fuller 13 speed … It’s really hard for me to get it into gear, so much so I stalled it on the off-ramp and failed. Would it be okay to shift it into 3rd since I’m at such low rate of speed ? Please respond brother 🙏
did they make you tell them what the parts of the truck are called and what to check for like cracked/broken/chipped or whatever? are you in ny by any chance?
That’s the pretrip. Properly mounted, not cracked, broken (bent) (leaking)is under the tractor hood, mirrors, 1st axle and 5th wheel components, along with the lights.
Basically, you do not want to coast downhill, coming to a stop or coast in general as it interrupts the consistency of your shifting. ie if going downhill, you missed your gear and coasting in neutral, you will not have engine brake to hold the truck from speeding downhill and as such your service brake pads and drums would heat up from excessive use.
@@FaroutTruckin yes thanks i am studying the book and going over what my school says, im just now coming across how they may deduct points for that. I dont know what it looks like and i just wanted to be aware how to avoid it.
I’m taking my Class A road test tomorrow and I’m nervous because I can float the gears very well but I haven’t been taught double clutching. If you float instead of double clutching is that an automatic fail? Florida**
Do we have to say everything like you are in the video during the test? Like announce we will be stopping at the stop sign, before the white line, and proceeding when traffic is clear, etc? And everything like you did in the video? Teacher didnt mention any of this yet and we have been out twice driving! Didnt even mention we have to be calling out hazards, signs, nothing! Exactly why Im doing my own research and taking it upon myself to make sure he is even teaching us right.
You also didn’t mention that you must stay in gear while at the red light. That’s why I asked if your truck is automatic because he was also shifting while going through the intersection which I was thought is a automatic fail.
it could be automatic, but youll have a manual restriction which bans you from driving manuals on the road. but if you wanna test in automatic and get manual later, all you have to do is take just a manual truck with no trailer and do the road portion of the test to show them you know how to shift properly.
Bro , just passed my CDL test today , I just did what you showed us in this video , thank you so much for helping me pass it .

You’ll be tested with an empty trailer/tank/etc. A bit of advice (what i did during my road test,) was announce to the instructor that you shouldn’t shift through an intersection, railroad, etc.
BUT, start out in 3rd or 4th gear and you should have enough speed to comfortably make it though the intersection and because you aren’t loaded you won’t bog the engine.. I would recommend attempting to start in both while at an intersection and see if the truck can start out in 4th and it’s not going to bog the truck down.

Thanks bro this is helping me… I live in suffolk so all of this is by my house.. thanks bro
Are hazmat trucks mostly manual transmissions? BTW, thank you for your video. 🙏🏼
Also automatic
I thought when you make a left from a single left lane road on to a 2 lane road you turn in to the left lane and then merge onto the right lane?
Just when you said that there were no obstructions on the road you passed by one of those plastic cones by the side of the road. I actually failed the test because the examiner said I went to close to it. I thought to my self that there is no harm in the plastic cones since they are just plastic but any thing on the road is an obstruction and you have to lower the speed and maybe even use the turn signal to cross on to the other lane!

He did say no shifting in the intersection a couple times throughout video.
Do you have to mention everything like you do when you take the test or are you just doing that for the video?
When I took my road test early 2020, I did just that.

Hello if you fail cdl road test. Do you have to do whole test over?
HI 👋 . Can you do a video of what unsafe coasting is compared to engine braking.
What it is you want to know about engine brake?
Basically, you do not want to coast downhill, coming to a stop or coast in general as it interrupts the consistency of your shifting. ie if going downhill, you missed your gear and coasting in neutral, you will not have engine brake to hold the truck from speeding downhill and as such your service brake pads and drums would heat up from excessive use.

Did you have to do the in cab air brakes test without having the instructions before beginning the road test?
It’s done while the instructor inside cab
I am going to do this today hopefully i pass
Okay, so at 5:35 you crossed the solid white lane divider. That would be a fail, correct?
When taking your road test, wait until line breaks then change lane.
May not be an automatic fail but points off.
@@FaroutTruckin Thanks for clarifying.
Cool
good video
Mind you this guy is hauling hazardous tanker so the stopping and turning is very dangerous
Thanks good job
I notice u cross a solid white line bro good video tho
Appreciate it
Thanks.
So that’s all they make you do now for the road test no parallel parking or straight backing ?
Those are the skill test. I explained the road test here.
