Is it wrong to admit that I fall asleep to this video every night? It's become my routine to play this video before bed. I don't count sheep, I count pre-trips.
Thank you, your videos help me pass my test, I couldn’t afford school, so I self trained myself. Most of the school around here they only want your money, they are not even showing new drivers how to do coupling just because the test, at least in CT, does not includes coupling and uncoupling. Thank You.
Legendary video. Hello to Joe and Marty. Going to be 2 years since i watched this video till my mind knew every word.. Video will help you pass. Rewatching since im going to different company in a couple weeks and getting tested for a pretrip. Easy money💪💪💰💰
Good one almost perfect. but this could be confusing for the new guys because the driver mixed up the explanation on some of the components of the inspection. This is important because you should be able to acknowledge it on the actual test. Engine compartment +1 axle Side and back of truck + 1 axle Connections and trailer + 1 axle External light check In-cab with brake check Dont get me wrong this still a very good video I used it as a guide reference for my test and went well but just that detail.
Trailer always pops first never at the same time even though it may look like it in order to help prevent a jackknife. Also never put your hands between the wheel when pointing to gauges had examiners fail for that point around the wheel. Never say gauges call the primary and secondary air tanks and where they’re located. State your operating ranges for all gauges not that it’s just on the rise. On the roll test key words are stopped in a straight line and didn’t pull left and right therefore my combination roll test has passed. Shocks not cracked damaged or broken and has soft pliable bushings. Steering linkage - gearbox to pitman arm to draglink to knuckle to tie rod. All castle nutts and cotter pins in places and properly greased. Overall good video just giving some examples of things I seen people fail on.
7thno wrong way crash!!!!!!you lived up to your name wrong way on test day. Lol it was a pleasure meeting you both and hope to see you both again. Marie
@@marieharrop4066 I am glad you didn't see it live. I flubbed a bit. She aced hers. I had to hear it from the instructors afterwards...geez,😧 thank you
lots of drivers complain about the mega carriers but thats a good place to get trained and get that experience after a few break downs they will understand the importance of what you just covered
No cause it will be difficult to communicate with the examiner with the engine running. The only time the engine should be running during an external inspection is if the examiner tells you to conduct a fuel system test OR an exhaust system test.

Hey glad you came back to visit the pre trip! Good luck on your new endeavor.
Great video!
Watch all videos and polish your pre trip inspection . It’s very important.

Yes how true that is out in the middle of nowhere
I love this video, thanks so muck for making it. Have watched so many times, lost count.
Wow, its great to be able to watch videos before attending a trucking school, to know a little bit about it at least
Watch the videos you will know so much
I must of watched this 1000 times while i was in phoenix 😂 thank u
Glad that it helped you!
There's only 579 views , so how did you watch it a thousand times, lol😮
@@somebodysomewhereonearththe video has 40k views
@@Mnltupa92 my bad brother
I’m on my 2nd day in Phoenix and I’m on my seventh viewing already…only another hundred or so left!!
Miss you Joe! You trained me right buddy! Back in 2019
You rock buddy you had the will to learn thank you
I am speed cramming at 2x speed
After watching this I’m more confident in taking the pre trip
Does Knight still use these videos for Squire?
Yes I'm going through it now 10/24/24. I have coach getting used through our straight line and offset backing and first drives today.
isnt best to check all this when the truck is running? as far as visual leaks and checking if theres too much play in the belts visually?
No cause it will be difficult to communicate with the examiner with the engine running. The only time the engine should be running during an external inspection is if the examiner tells you to conduct a fuel system test OR an exhaust system test.
When you are checking for air leaks it's best not to have the engine running so you can hear air leaks
Is this video still used to help with the pre-trip or is it out of date?
Still works
thanks for awsome service
You are welcome
i definitely need to watch it again to take better notes
Just keep watching it. Memorize what Joe is saying and you will pass Your pre trip with flying colors guaranteed. Put it on auto play. Good Luck
@@marieharrop4066 thanks hun! Looking forward to seeing you out there
Francis DeSouza you will see Joe out there.
Starting soon with Knight ☺️
Wheels have to chocked during the entire pre- trip
Why ?
You only choke the driver side wheel to inspect suspension n front brakes
Is this the official knight pretrip that you learn in school?
Paul Langley yes it is.
@@marieharrop4066 great I start in Memphis on Monday and pretty much have this memorised.. thank you so much!!!
Paul Langley that’s great! Joe is the pre trip king! Lol if you have this memorized you’ll be a step ahead of the others.
Hope you are enjoying retirement
Yes driving locally home every night
Nobody goes through all that before a trip
RA101 this is for the students getting their cdl but you should be doing a good pretrip
Can we see the parts and not the guy 🤷♂️
Sorry that guy was the instructor if you listen he explains the process
