I've watched this video over and over till, I could pass that test. Went to Fontana swift school and Alex was the trainer, pass that test with flying colors. Been driving otr over 5 years now, Thanks Alex
When I first saw this I thought man this is a lot to remember but now that I been saying the same stuff for about a month I can see where he missed some stuff. He called the mud flap a splash guard. And it really doesn’t take so long to do. I test tomorrow and I’m READY!!!
Be me: watching video to learn inspection process. Also me: decides to type it out on my galaxy note of all the things i have to check during the inspection for future reference. Also me: i didint quite think this through and will not be doing this again.
Steering Wheel Is Frantically Turning Some guy with some kind of weird accent that talks so fast you can't understand half of what he saying. Now I know why these swift drivers turn out this way. Notice he's wearing a green safety vest just in case anybody that he's already trained happens to be driving nearby and it might be just a little harder for them to hit him.
16:36 those are just rods or bars according to google. The "ties" in the cdl manual at the appropriate section are referring to any cord type material as seen in the included list "straps, chains, and binders are secure."
Depending on the state it depends on what you check. Oregon has the easiest test whereas Washington and California have among the hardest tests. I believe North Carolina is the hardest. By hard I just mean the amount of stuff you have to say. A lot of states allow the school to test you whereas in Washington state, the DMV has testers that you must go through. My schooling was in Idaho but I took the Washington test there in Idaho since I live here in Washington. We were less than a quarter mile from the state line lol.
I had the whole pretrip inspection down like this guy and when I went to do my driving test at the dmv in new Jersey the examiner told me I know you have studied on everything on the pretrip I want to see you drive and only told me to do the air brake leak down test and interior I didn't have to do the exterior pretrip Made it a lot faster lol
Make sure the trailers don't have lots of damage as swift drivers are known for lol Even on top of the roof as they try to drive under a 12 ft tunnel lol
Well I'm glad you are having a good experience, but I'm telling you, wil did try and tricked some trainess, not fair,. Hope you kick ass .see you out there,. PS . Wait till you get your Tor-mentor.. and Alex, sorry dude, that ego is way too big for you,. Not cool dude, you were way too cold .... Doesn't have to be that way..
Truck had Indiana plates, trailer had Oklahoma plates. Take notes. Apple is a California company and makes their phones in China. In addition they do payroll out of Reno, Nevada. Same as Tesla. Swift/knight are the largest ground logistics company because they make smart investment decisions not emotional ones.
When doing a pretrip for the state test the truck must be turned off and all lights off. Now when actually doing a pretrip, obviously the lights will be on. The trucks that do the state test have already been pretriped by the examiner or the instructor.
Thanks to Alex, replaying the video with ear phones on REALLY HELPED A Lot!! I passed my Pre trip and air break test with flying colors! Thank you Alex for the video!!!
All of that just to be told you will pass anyway,unless you get into an accident

Best explanation viedo ever

Why don’t they just use a checklist, like we do with airplanes?
Ok he needs to slow down a little hard to understand
great video
Make sure yr not drinking while watching this video. I took a shot er time he said broken lose or missing
Where is this training school located?
Will this work in California
at some point he states 75% dot tape on the sides. It is 50%.
85% on sides, 100 % on back dot bumper.
17:10 those are two different lights with different functions that should be listed separately. Inner two are stop outer are turn/4-way.
Are you the hard ass working at DMV haha
16:36 those are just rods or bars according to google. The "ties" in the cdl manual at the appropriate section are referring to any cord type material as seen in the included list "straps, chains, and binders are secure."
5:53 Should be when brakes are fully disengaged.
4:57 Those are the upper and lower control arms which attach to a single knuckle, right?
1:19 Front bumper is NOT properly mounted and secure.
1:04 you forgot unbalanced cargo.
0:44 You forgot transmission oil.
I was waiting for him to list brake fluid as a leak👄
Trucks have air brakes. Lots of errors. That wasn't one of them.
Should have used a truck not so fucked up. Lol. Wow
I would never memorize all this....no way...that's the reason I still have my CDL-A permit since may 20th
Swift cowboy?
Ok watch whole video when do I get my CDL? is it in the mail?
Slack adjust no more than an Inch Between 1-2needs adjusting And 2 or more out of service... this needs to be known by new students too.
He didn't specify whether the truck had a properly charged and full fire exstinguisher, 3 red reflective triangles and/or flags, and spare fuses.
John Smith that’s in cabin pre trip
@@amroualkady1 Yes, you're correct
Not much different in procedural checks compared to airline pilots inspecting the airplane before flight.
Thank you Alex
Bruh completely missed the brake drums, brake pads and brake chamber
T J I thought I was 😜 crazy.. I posted my comment then I saw this! 🙌🏼🙌🏼yay for checking it all!! High five I’d ride by you any day!!
Um.... 5:40. Did y'all just space out?
To much crap to check.

You forgot one loose nut Look in the mirror and you'll see it
I had the whole pretrip inspection down like this guy and when I went to do my driving test at the dmv in new Jersey the examiner told me I know you have studied on everything on the pretrip I want to see you drive and only told me to do the air brake leak down test and interior I didn't have to do the exterior pretrip Made it a lot faster lol
That is awesome!!
Don't forget to check the self lubricating muffler bearings
Make sure you keep plenty of gloves in the truck for marking your spot for backing up as seen in another Swift video
Make sure the trailers don't have lots of damage as swift drivers are known for lol Even on top of the roof as they try to drive under a 12 ft tunnel lol
Well he’s got the cdl book down that’s for sure
This video was very helpful I pas my DOT road test Tody Jose Garcia you are the best Thank you Luis
Lol a chicano goodbuddy. What if theres a rookie with 3 month exp training a rookie with 0 exp while on the road? Is that a good idea?
Damn Right, Always check your fuel tank gas cap, Very important. You don't want gas leaking from your fuel tank.
Well I'm glad you are having a good experience, but I'm telling you, wil did try and tricked some trainess, not fair,. Hope you kick ass .see you out there,. PS . Wait till you get your Tor-mentor.. and Alex, sorry dude, that ego is way too big for you,. Not cool dude, you were way too cold .... Doesn't have to be that way..
ALSO-Inspect that Oklahoma plate on a company based outa Phoenix Arizona?
Truck had Indiana plates, trailer had Oklahoma plates. Take notes. Apple is a California company and makes their phones in China. In addition they do payroll out of Reno, Nevada. Same as Tesla. Swift/knight are the largest ground logistics company because they make smart investment decisions not emotional ones.
If yer doing a pre trip it helps to have the lights turned on
When doing a pretrip for the state test the truck must be turned off and all lights off. Now when actually doing a pretrip, obviously the lights will be on. The trucks that do the state test have already been pretriped by the examiner or the instructor.
