Passing the in-cab inspection is an integral part of the CDL road test, and its significance cannot be overstated for anyone aspiring to excel in the trucking industry. The CDL in-cab inspection is a meticulous evaluation that gauges a candidate's understanding of the critical safety and operational aspects of their truck. It ensures that aspiring truckers are not only proficient in the technicalities of the vehicle but also committed to upholding the highest standards of safety in the world of trucking. A successful in-cab inspection demonstrates a driver's competence in checking essential components like brakes, lights, gauges, and emergency equipment. Failing to meet these standards can not only jeopardize one's CDL but also compromise the safety of the entire trucking community. So, remember, acing the in-cab inspection is not just a test requirement; it's a testament to your dedication to safe and responsible trucking practices.

Failed my first driving test due to in cab mistakes. Watched this video on repeat for over an hour and I had no hiccups. Class A driver now! Thanks for the help
That's awesome to hear! Persistence pays off.
How did you fail, on what part????
I plan on watching this everyday until i start school
Don't forget the seatbelt
I swear i forgot mine when we were doing the in cab I’m currently in school i forgot not no more tho practice makes perfect
Seriously, in Florida this would be a Fail from the start.
1. Get in truck using 3 points of contact.
2. Seatbelt: Properly mounted & secured top & bottom, not cut, torn or frayed, buckles & unbuckles properly, buckle your belt.
3. Safe start
And emergency hand brake
Automatic fail😅😅
I am in a CDL Program as we speak and your video is pretty close to what we are learning. It’s helped a lot !!
I appreciate your feedback and I'm so glad to hear that my video is making a difference in your CDL program. It means a lot to me. Keep up the good work!
In cab starts around 5:32
Don’t forget you still have to tell the examiner to step out of the vehicle to check that the external light work
Dude is too legendary. Thank you for helping, it really means a lot that you take timeout of your day to make sure you help folks all over~ Thank you!
I'm glad I could help! Your support means a lot to me.
Here on this video for the 50th time give or take. I feel like i have it remembered 100% now!!! Thank you so much. I practice in my own personal truck ram 1500. I made a red and yellow knob from cardboard attached to a toothpick put cardboard over a heatervent so i can push/pull knobs and pretend.😂😂 sometimes randomly sitting in my living room ill just start pretending 😂my girl thinks its funny thanks for these videos i can only imagine how many ppl u have helped ❤❤
Good luck brotha
whatever works! Sounds like something I would totally do to make learning easier.
vruh did you pass. a lot of people complaining about how he is missing a lot of stuff.
I'm scheduled to go to the DMV March 25th, 2024 and your video is a great help to me. Because I truly didn't think about the a.b.s light.
Thank you for the kind words! Best of luck at the DMV!
I think you forgot the seatbelt, gauges and trolley brake tug test.
No way. Literally perfect timing from my favorite cdl training channel. Everyone else’s video always had something off so I couldn’t keep on replaying it to study. Thank you 🙏🏾
I Aced my test thank you❤....your pre trip inspection video is the truth🎉❤
Congratulations on passing! Thanks for watching our videos!
I been watching your videos over and over and think I can do it . The key to passing is remembering everything until you pass the driving test. When you wake up this should be on your mind everyday right ? Great job 👏 I start class October 9 , 2023. So wish me luck 😊
Best of luck! You've got this as long as you take it seriously and put in the work! Thanks for watching our videos!
I start on the 9th too!
Did you pass ?
I started on October 9th too lol, got my test next Friday December the 15th
congratulations I hope you pass!
I just failed air brake test because I didn't call out the pressure when gov cutout and didn't call out the pressure from primary gauge when trailor spring brakes applied. I did remember my seat belt and dash indicators.
Im working on this now, just did my week of training (through work) and have my test on monday, what i noticed you missed ( I don't know if it's a company thing, or a DOT thing) but you missed the seatbelt and the gauges.
How I'm being trained:
4 safety items:
1) seatbelt is properly mounted and secured, not torn, frayed, or cut. Buckles and unbuckles (rebuckle when done)
2) fire extinguisher is properly mounted and secured and is properly charged as indicated by the yellow arrow in the green area of the gauge.
3) 3-bidirectional reflective triangles properly mounted and secured (name where they are).
4. Spare fuses (at least 1 of each size needed) and / or circuit breakers (name where they are).
Safe start, build pressure to govener blow-off, shut down and turn key on, commence leaktest (as you displayed), followed by the "buzzer" and "pop out" (my naming) tests.
Safe start no. 2 then start lights functioning (left and right turn, 4-ways, and highbeams, map/dome) steering wheel has no more than 2" of play either way, horn working, and gauges, including the "correct operating ranges" for each (water 180-210 deg., oil between 20-60 psi, volts between 12-14, tach is responsive, speedo is at 0 where it should be since I'm not moving, fuel is not reliable that's why we checked it on the exteral pretrip inspection, def is at x reading, air should be between 90-120 and is rising) while pressure rebuilds. For the windows and mirrors I was told "securley mounted and not cracked, chipped, or discolored (mirrors) and "properly adjusted for me" (mirrors). Wipers securely mounted, and not damaged, doesn't streak when testing fluid.
Then after all that the brake checks:
Tractor (release red trailer), trailer (release yellow tractor), then service (roll and press brake pedal while hovering hands over the wheel to check for pull when brakes are applied, could also test trailer service via the handvalve, but that's not in my paperwork)
It's all easy when I can reference the paperwork and there is no nervousness to contend with. I just hope I can get it all right at testing time. Same thing with the other pre-trips, post-trip(s), and driving, I've been hit and miss with the manual transmission this past week, at least I though so. 🤞
Your videos have seemed to be the closest to what they're teaching. Thanks!!!
Thank you for sharing your insights on the training process! It's great to see the attention to detail in ensuring safety on the job. Keep it up!!
Thanks
Doing my test tomorrow wish me luck 😁 confident after watching this guy!!!!

I failed my air breaks test not knowing how to tell if the test was successful or not or where the psi began to drop
I need watch this video over and over and over and over so i don't miss a thing lol b😊
Great videos as always much appreciate 🫡
Is your feet on the clutch whole time your build air pressure
What do u do when u drive 5 mph n it pulls right u put it in park press the yellow button n shut off the truck alert the company…I’m going for my cdl here in south Texas n I wanna learn this what to do when air brakes fail say I have a load n I’m parked somewhere someone cuts that green red that connects to trailer I call roadside assistance also Manuel transmission I’m trying to watch as many tutorials on TH-cam I even bought a nootropic but tight turns in businesses reversing where to sleep if your hours run out n u gotta wake up in the morning n your load is 30 min away idk
Free good time thanks allat
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Appreciate the support!
Thank you man 👍
No problem, and thank YOU for watching our video and commenting!
So what about automatic during the brake Test do you put it in drive?
What about when to chock wheels? or the right time to remove the chock
?
Thank you for watching the video. Chocking wheels is crucial for safety, especially when parking on an incline or on uneven surfaces. You should remove the chock after you have safely parked and are ready to drive again.
well....my test is tomorrow and although Im suuuuper nervous, I do think you made a mistake. the turning the key for the safe start is to see if its at 90 psi or below. am I wrong?
You speed so fast
When you upload your automatic in-cab?
What about pressure build from 60-100psi in 45 sec or less?
I can’t find no automatic video for class a tho ? Help with link or
Needed this video so bad thank you 🙏🏽
Don’t forget the seat belt right?
Perfect
When you guys doing the incab inspection for auto
What about the Guages?
Sooo two questions...in cali u dont have to chok the wheels with a manual? And how much of this am i expaining to the examiner? Like everything your saying ? Also do you actually look at the reflectors and fire extiguisher ...or do you just point them out?
I am from Bangladesh ❤❤❤❤❤
what about the brake tug
What about seat belt?
Please when doing incab inspection and breack test always bring the camera 📷 very close so that people will see the reading also
Will this video this video still be good to learn by 2024 or will everything change by next year
This video will be good for 2024! There are NO regulation changes currently scheduled for 2024. Thanks for watching!
I’m goin to take a road test Monday…do I have to study the pre trip and in cab?
Hi! Thank you for your comment. Give us a call at 908.525.3609 so we can answer your other CDL questions. We are open Monday to Friday 8am to 9pm and Saturday and Sunday 9am to 1pm.
What about the tank hold with no brakes applied ?
at the end of the video you say if you miss 1 think on the test, you could fail forever.. that's not true
Can you guys make one for an automatic please
Thank you for your suggestion!
Need the automatic transmission video
Test Again tomorrow
Did you pass ?
Will there be a update for this video for 2024
I appreciate your interest! Yes, stay tuned for updates! Thank you!
How many gears that truck has?
Probably 10 but could be more
Do you guys offer school in Florida ?
Can we get the cab inspection and brake test for automatic
Absolutely! We will cover automatic soon!
Is this for Massachusetts?
What about tractor and trailer break test
Thank you for suggesting the tractor and trailer brake test! We'll make sure to add it to our video ideas list. Do you have a specific question about this topic?
Where was your static air loss test
This is still good as of right now?
We have an updated 2024 version of this video. Check it out here in our channel. Thank you!
Where is the automatic truck video?
Forgot to describe your cluster board and gauges
Seat beat/seat if air ride? Guess it’s changed
seat belt and emergency triangles
I felt the test that way I didn't keep the key in the on position
Wym
@@Babyface_____zonly way he could have fail is if he turned off the engine to the truck and didn't turn the key back to the on position for his accessory light to come on before he started the test where you put the vehicle low 1st gear, push in knob for tractor and trailer in let the air settle before stepping the brakes to see if the combination vehicle loses more than 4psi within 1min.
@@Babyface_____zif you going to take the test don't forget to turn that key to on position for accessories because if you don't it's a automatic failure
Please do automatic
You forgot the DEF light and the trailer ABS Light came on on the trailer
Thank you for bringing this to my attention! I appreciate your comment and will make sure to include these in future videos.
Don’t forget your seatbelt!!!
I guess the seat belt is not required for 2023.
Common sense 😂
u lost me at GAS.😂😂😂
U failed bro ..u forgot your seat belt 😅
Haha
Hands off the steering wheel lol
👍
he never say anthing about the seat belt
Wheres that automatic tutorial huh???
Hand break you didn't check..
Plz re do this video and post again forgot some stuff
Does state matter? And whats he mean u fail forever?😂
This will be the same across all states! As for the "fail forever" thing, just a little exaggerated joke. Thanks for watching!
@@CDLDrivingAcademy 😅😅 you really got me when you said you’ll Gail forever geez had me nervous!! Had to come look for this comment..
Did you just say gas??? This is the second 160 Driving Academy video where the person in the video refers to fuel as gas… “give it a little bit of gas“ The proper term for the pedal on the right is fuel pedal… give it a little bit of fuel.
Actually… since you want to be technical all the books say accelerator… lol
Beep on the truck is super annoying. Couldn’t hewr nothing
immediate FAIL in NY!
Why ? I thought California was tough. 😮
