This is how I drive my car also. Also how I taught my daughter to drive (besides the half speed exits.) I'm about to start CDL school and it looks like my driving basics are on point already. Defensive driving, all day, every day.
Wow, I'm surprised with how thorough this guy was, did anyone else see that no truck sign near the very beginning of this video that he did not mention, a very important sign to observe and point out to your examiner during a road test
Thank you for explaining your actions. This is an excellent video on fundamentals, especially thinking ahead/safe driving(limiting lane changes, protect space ahead) and saving fuel(coasting to a light).
Hawkeye Community College's Regional Transportation Center is teaching the same call out of intersections, cars, people and other hazards to keep on the lookout for. Thanks for posting this video, gives one an idea of what WST expects.
Good video, pretty similar to how I'll road test a newbie, good way to show how to reduce speed on on/off ramps. I have a few tight ramps I can take drivers on, and explain why the "my load shifted" excuse will not fly when they lay the trailer on its side, only 2 reasons why a load shifts, both of which are preventable by the driver. I also have a 12'2" bridge which is clearly marked that I'll run them by. A 13'6" trailer will clear, but they don't know that, now tell your boss how you made his brand new trailer a convertible. I'm assuming you also run them through a complete Pre-Trip Inspection, it's pretty scary how many drivers, even experienced ones, can't do a proper Pre-Trip, and I judge State Truck Driver Championships.
This is in Cedar Rapids Iowa, I recognized the roads because I went to my schooling with CRST in cedar Rapids Iowa, and this is part of the route I drove...Too funny
I don’t know why yall make trucking seem so hard same rules apply to cars apply to you. Other than most truckers are reckless, bigger blind spots and heavier weight means longer to stop, and you’re federally regulated.
I like your style of driving. This is how I would drive. I'm in cdl school right and I'm having a hard time trying to stay speed limit because I'm more of a low risk driver...
@@Americanspy-hn2kw been good, finished cdl school in the end of may. Got my class A. decided not to go OTR for now. My dad was able to get me at his work driving Bobtail, with 4500 gallon tank. Doing Fleet Fueling. Going to do that for a while. Then probably going to want to use my class A soon. But for now I don't mind getting class B experience.
Those truck driver did a very good jobs explain other how to working on that truck driver and what to do before you get there as I see how he drive that stick shift very well for me to remember how he work that shift only to move that big truck driver as well they driving it very neat and clean and do better as they teach you with a wisdom and knowledge to encourage you the best be the best ok god bless you our big brothers and sister ok you lady and gentlman did very well good jobs ok
All of us professional drivers with 10 or more years experience would fail real thorough road test if we were to do it the same exact way we drive everyday. I say this because we all do things that are "no-no's" like multitask alittle, float gears and drive with one hand
Cool vid,but if every driver would drive like that,that would be perfect but you're in Dreamland dude, in some of the West Side drivers that use have side like a fucking nut
I'm driving a 6 speed for my CDL test in CA, do we lose points when we shift in the intersection? I know we cannot shift when we turn, but what if we are just going straight?
Awesome video! I’m currently in training at Prime in SLC and this is a great reference for what it’ll be like when we get out on the road and how to stay vigilant. Thank you!
I understand keeping a safe distance, but as long as the vehicle is gaining ahead of me, why keep backing off? he's going to be late for his load/unload appointment time. looks like he's driving an automatic
