This video will show you why the Checklist should be used during your Pre-Trip Inspection. Every POINT or correct inspection of all items matters. Alway follow your CDL School Pre-Trip Step by Step guide.
Watch rob larson from Caltrans pre-trip and air brake video is very good on this.. the only problem with this truck is it would not be usable because of the message in his dash
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.
Passed mine with this check list.. only different was a 10 speed manual for no restrictions on Cdl and also used a 12 point brake check.. and your right all Volvos low warning buzzer only sounds when engin is running. 1.static pressure no more than 3psi in one min. 2.apply pressure no more than 4psi in one min. 3.low warning buzzer or light 4.emergency set up 5.rebuild air pressure 6.Gov. Cut in 7.Gov.Cut out 8.all brake tug test 9. Tractor tug test 10.trailer tug test 11.trolly tug test 12. Roll service brake test.. Texas..
@@truckerstevecdlinstructor thank you..next will be all my endorsements, Hazmat, doubles, and tanker.. thanks for your videos they are extremely helpful..
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.
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.
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 ) Note : As you drive and brake, air pressure is loss and then will build back up to the manufacture specifications . You will or may hear the hiss . Some tractors have a slight air leak- but the air pressure will build back up until the air compressor cuts off. So whenever standing by a running tractor you may hear that hissing. Hope this helps or your question was answered.
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.
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.
Woodlawn md and Carroll County Community College. If you live in Maryland, the college is the one to go to. Go to the College to apply- Westminster, Md.
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.
