For the CDL Class A Road test, the CDL Class A Pre-Trip Inspection is the hardest part. The reason most people fail their CDL CLass A Road Test is because they do not get the right CDL Class A training and that makes them fail the Pre-trip inspection. The Road Test is split into 3 different sections the first part of the CDL Class A road test is to pass the CDL Pre-trip inspection you are going to be asked to do both an Inside air brake test as well as an Outside pre-trip inspection. The second part of the CDL Class A road test is a skills test. The student will have to master six different parking maneuvers and the last part of the CDL Class A road test is the road driving. This test will take two and a half hours to complete however it all starts with this CDL pre-trip inspection.
Most people fail in the first 10 mins of the test because they did not get the proper CDL Class A training on the pre-trip inspection. That is why we have created this video to show you how our students at Driving Academy get the proper CDL Class A training they need in order to pass the CDL Class A Road Test. We offer this video and much much more to our students when we train them for their CDL Class A Pre-trip Inspection. Our students get our highly trained instructors to help them with the CDL Class A pre- trip inspection, they also get a word for word script on exactly what to say during their CDL Class A Road test, and they also get to practice on the same CDL Class A truck that they will be taking their test in as well. After our CDL training program our students are ready to take this test and become successful CDL Drivers and start making Big Money. After our students pass the CDL Class A Pre-trip Inspection they get help with our free life time job placement program. This is where it is our Job to help Students find their CDL Class A Job. Once they Get their CDL Class A Job they will have to do the CDL Class A Pre Trip Inspection if they have followed our training and plan to be the best CDL Class A Driver they can be. They will Learn that when they do their CDL Pre-Trip inspection on a daily basis they will be able to catch things when they are small and fix them so it does not cost them too much money or time at their CDL Class A Job.

I took my class A test a decade ago. In Minnesota, in January. It was around 8 degrees and windy that morning. As a tree trimmer, I was in my element. My tester was not; she was a tiny little lady who was visibly shaking the entire duration of my pre trip, which she hurried me through. She couldn't wait to get in the warm truck and on the road. Not saying I wouldn't have passed in better weather, but I know for sure that the weather had some to do with me getting my CDL that day 😂

I used to watch a pre trip video from the company I was hired on to get my cdl. I watched the vid 2wice a day (45 min video). By the end of the month I memorized a large portion. I bring that up now because while Im pre tripping or encouter issues- I literally quote that video and it helps me tremendously. So while it seems pointless and a measure to get your cdl; it truly can save your butt in the real world

I just came back from Driving Academy in Linden New Jersey. First the staff working in the office were outstanding. They were so nice and kind to me. They were awesome. Next I went to the yard for training. I could not say enough about how great they were. They were excellent trainers and they give special attention to each and every student. I had been to two trucking schools and they were far more informative and helpful plus they were so very caring. I loved my time in New Jersey. They were so good at teaching driving of the big trucks. I was able to meet Johnston and he was so wonderful and gracious to me. I was able to meet Tony and he was just as great as Johnston. It’s was so wonderful to me Tony also. If you are anyway close to Driving Academy there is the place to go and learn. Thank you Driving Academy for a great week.
My first test is Monday 9/11/23 wish me luck

Please update us! How did you do? I'm training now.
DMV failed my friend the other day because he didn't explain the why we are learning each pre-trip inspection. For example: For the Windshield Defroster he explained WHAT he was inspecting, but he didn't explain the why. Ex: The defroster improves visibility, especially during cold weather. Use the new book from the DMV and definitely learn a little about why we are inspecting each section required for the Pre trip inspection
@Adam-qt6qq

That's stupid. Here's my defroster and heater they work properly as you put your hands near the windshield and you feel heat coming out. Some of these people who are inspectors are really crazy. In the real world your going to turn on the defrost heat and it either works or it doesn't work.

This trucking school is in New Jersey. Make sure if your in CALIFORNIA you find a Video for CALIFORNIA the Rules and regulations are Different in California than New Jersey.
i think it would be a great idea to say everything exactly how you would at the dmv yourself, that way we can get used to to repeating what you’re saying
Some of the new fifth wheels have poly inserts, so they are NOT to be greased. The poly takes the place of it, on the plate. But, locking parts need to be lubricated.
I just wanna know what razor your using to have that Mr. Clean look. I cant ever get that type of shave.

Anything under 100psi is going to be a low tire. Especially for anyone that's running 80k+ gross weight. 105-110 is better. Most tires are posted at 110, for rated weight. But, still see some marked 105 occasionally.
wrong first off my examiner did not require it, the outside inspection he rushed me through when he realized I knew what i was talking about, it was the parking maneuver that wasn't straight back or offset that almost got me 0 goal's 12 points out of 13
