Thank you very much for making and sharing these important videos. In my road test, I just did what you showed in the videos , and I passed the exam in the first test. God bless all of you and thank you very much.
I know 1,000 views are from me alone, getting down the terminology and taking notes! Hope I pass my exam!!! Thank you. This video is simple and informative
Taking my test Thursday. Remember for metals objects (BBC) Broken, Bent, or Cracked. For rubber/hoses (ABCDF) Abrasions, Bulges, Cuts, Dry Rot, or Frayed! (PMS) Properly Mounted and Secured. And for anything with hoses going into not leaking.
A couple notes. If you mess up ANY part of the AIR PRESSURE test, it's an automatic fail, even if the rest of the pre-trip is perfect. Also you have to start with the air pressure test, not the air brake test (at least thats what I was taught by a licensed examiner). Of course, the CDL test varies depending on the state, and what I just said applies to Missouri so.... yeah. Good luck and practice until you're sick of it.
Did you ask the question, to your school, if you must follow Checklist. Service brake, trailer brake make sense first, due to air lose. You !must communicate what your doing... Remember it's your test, ALE, 1st on list, but should go after, service brake test.
Please again use common sense as well following instructions, ask questions according to your states requirements. Ms Felica is basing pretrip/incab on 2024 state of Il new way
I did a pre-trip on the girl i was with last night, everything passed except: Although It was securely mounted and not broken,there was definitely 2 cracks and 2 holes. one hole was elongated, indicating excessive wear, please advise. is this something that the DOT will put out of service or can i continue and have her repaired at the nearest facility?
Hey Felicia how are you doing, it's really great viewing your videos, I really which to come practice my trucking career over there if I can get help, am in Africa
Does anyone start straight from the seat belt then emergency equipment then safe start can u do a video with out all the extra starting straight from the seatbelt emergency equipment then safe start
You need to get a DOT physical done to drive a CMV. They're not super expensive but not cheap either. Some really big companies will pay for you to get a DOT physical before they bring you in for training. Hope this helps!
DOT physical card - department of transportation physical card . You can get one at a minute clinic or urgent care for roughly $120. They check your vision , hearing , blood pressure etc. you need your regular drivers license , your CDL permit , and your dot physical card .
🙃 this is really good I’m just so nervous not sure what or how to study for this…🙊 I wanted to get a jumpstart before I go to the academy at end of July 🙈 btw Texas dps TH-cam doesn’t even list it right…so I been looking at tons of inspections--Felicia makes this look so simple!! You can tell she knows her stuff! 🫶🏾 thanks for making the videos…
Dont forget you do not describe hoses or rubber as "cracked bent broken" The rubber is "no abrasions, bulges or cuts". Also safe start where I live is engine in neutral brakes on and chocks set.
In my state you have to pass airbrakes in cab pretrip inspections. In order to move to yard movements skills test. You have to pass that to move to the road test then pass to become licensed in class A license.
i FAILEDDDDDD MY PRE TRIP BECAUSE I STARTED WITH MY BREAK TEST !! YOU NEED TO START WITH YOUR AIR BREAK LEAK TEST FIRST MANDATORY !!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for an automatic failure felicia
@@remo9310 I guess. It’s simple. People should be reading their Manuel so they would know 🤯 Getting mad at this woman for free information lol. Read the Manuel people. And let me say this again. Their Manuel FOR THEIR STATE! Trying to hope on TH-cam for fast information. Mind blowing people don’t want to put in the work to drive these big a** trucks.
I forgot to mention ... the Ohio CDL manual says 20 to 45 psi for the valves to pop out. Probably won't matter for the exam, but in your video you state 20 to 40.
Hello Felicia and others who helped to make this video! It's been beyond helpful. My only "negative" here, is that at certain points in the video, I can hear someone else saying something. Seems to be just during the in cab portion. Not sure if there's a way to edit out that person talking, but it would be less distracting. But again ... thank you so much for this extremely helpful video!!!
@@RandomShit970if the air pressure is over 100 psi bring it down just a bit which I was taught the person didn’t understand that & examiners don’t know nothing of trucks they are there to just test you once the person ask a question I said I was filling my air tanks
wonderful 😍🥰 I really Love Felicia training and instruction videos . I'm an Iranian guy and computer networking engineer. But I wish i could live and work in USA and attend in her Class A training course. Her English accent for me that my mother language is Persian is clear enough to understand most critical points and her patient and professional attitude persuade me to change my job from networking to Driving heavy load trucks . i wish i had this chance to see her and fully train according to US roads policies under her supervision.😭😢I wish ,,, I wish,,,, I wish.... I do appreciated Felicia for your wonderful and informative video files. Best Wishes Ma'am🙌
Hey lady in 1985 when I took my CDL test I had a Texas state trooper test me ! Now a days you just have an examiner ! That's what's always been required seat belt first! In the video the gal doesn't put it on upon entering and seating in the truck just the facts and rules! Old school driver darling!! Learned from my old man Jose !! 77 Freightliner spring ride no power steering! Boy would it blow black smoke and hammer down!!!

In Missouri did you get to have the sheet with you? I’m wondering if it is the same
For
Texas
We also have it here in Texas @@shannontlane9338
This might be the best pre-trip video to share with my students so far! Thanks, Oracle Lady! 💖
I haven't took mine yet but I've been told that you're supposed to put your seatbelt on as soon as you enter the truck before you do anything else
Thank you! Finally someone went slow enough and pointed clearly so I could understand. ( New student)
Me acabo de suscribir y fue un excellente video muy informativo Gracias jesucristo le Bendinga.
You are by far the best keep trucking sister!
The best video and the best instructor!
Air loss test must be first in Texas. Failed today because I did it in the order of the video, not a big deal I will pass next time!
Really? Texas person here and I have my appointment the 11 of July
Good luck next time

En iyi, en ayrıntılı anlatım için teşekkürler Felicia
This pre trip apply for Texas too

Now, how do you know if the hub seal is there and not leaking when you have hubcaps on 🤔🤔🤔
Thank you for such a good video, this was awesome, it is helping me out alot
Thank you !
So you can carry the checklist with you during the test? I was told you can’t use a checklist!
Yes, you can have the checklist if you ask the examinar at the beginning.
check with your state, PA we were NOT allowed to (in 2021)
@@MissyMuthaTruckiN2021 isn’t 2024🤣 the entire game has changed
I take my test in a couple days I've been nervous for the past few days
Thank you! Your video is awesome!
This pretrip inspection was very good and thorough.
Great job 👏🏿
Very good video, where can I get the checklist? Can you please share it with me, thank you
Or if you get a manual cdl handbook, it comes with it. I have one myself.
I'm studying in new jersey. they gave me 10 pages of text. and there are so many details. definitely ohio is easier.
Is this just for Ohio or is it for all states?
Hey Felicia how are you doing, it's really great viewing your videos, I really which to come practice my trucking career over there if I can get help, am in Africa
Does this video help for California
Nice video !
Does anyone start straight from the seat belt then emergency equipment then safe start can u do a video with out all the extra starting straight from the seatbelt emergency equipment then safe start
Do you have put on your seat belt whilst doing these tests?
I fail today on first part of pre trip inspection and reason was I didn't put those leather mounts before and ahead of truck front tyre's 😢
Did u pass
@ already driving my own truck
So do you have to commit that whole check sheet to memory?
I start training tomorrow for the company I work I’m a rookie any advice for me??
what you mean by DOT? i dont have any thing but permit ??
You need to get a DOT physical done to drive a CMV. They're not super expensive but not cheap either. Some really big companies will pay for you to get a DOT physical before they bring you in for training. Hope this helps!
no wheel chaulks ?
Before I get in the truck I need my DOT, not sure what you mean
DOT physical card - department of transportation physical card . You can get one at a minute clinic or urgent care for roughly $120. They check your vision , hearing , blood pressure etc. you need your regular drivers license , your CDL permit , and your dot physical card .
@@kennykrempa7100 same as med card
@@bigslopp1485yes
Airbag are included?
If you’re windshield was cracked longer then an inch you would be put out of service which is important to mention
man ya'll get a checklist now!?? I had no paper, had to memorize all the verbal parts 😭
They shoulda never made you do that it makes more sense to be able to look at something and check if something stops working on road
Its alot easier than it used to be, thats just a fact @mxnsza3165
Pop out is between 20 to 45 psi. 45 please
I failed today because i said 20-40 psi.
Please correct that. 6:59

In Massachusetts there is no mistakes no start at beginning if you miss 1 thing u fail
This video is for Ohio read title of video.
thank you for the formal pre trip demo
I passed today!!!!!
Hector castro en que estado
@@escobedojr.escobedo2857 Ohio
Congratulations! What state?
Congratulations
great job
In Ohio you don't talk about the gap between the landing gear and the tires for turning?
can you take the pretrip inspection and the skills test on different days like the permit tests?
nope, 3 part test, pre trip, road test and backing
@@ChuckieOutdoors OK, probably different for each state and they keep dumbing the test down so the govt can get more kick back $.
In my state you have to pass airbrakes in cab pretrip inspections. In order to move to yard movements skills test. You have to pass that to move to the road test then pass to become licensed in class A license.
i FAILEDDDDDD MY PRE TRIP BECAUSE I STARTED WITH MY BREAK TEST !! YOU NEED TO START WITH YOUR AIR BREAK LEAK TEST FIRST MANDATORY !!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for an automatic failure felicia
How is that her fault. Did you pay attention in school? Are you guys in the same state? That’s your fault for relying on TH-cam. Read the manual.
@@Bossd_Up_Bbecause she should have mentioned that

You're 100% wrong bet you didn't say air pressure was 120 to 140. Most people forget to mention that. If you don't automatically fail.
Your school should have given you a checklist to go by and it should show to speak about the air or hydraulic brake check first
I forgot to mention ... the Ohio CDL manual says 20 to 45 psi for the valves to pop out. Probably won't matter for the exam, but in your video you state 20 to 40.
Good explantion
What is that noise in the background. When the guy talks he sounds crazy
Could you share with us the check list file ?
Hello, i got Pre trip inspection 1/4/24 class A
Can i study this for nj inspection ??
❤❤❤❤
Thank you
Doing brake leak test parking and trailer knobs has to be pushed in !?! NNO?? ...And seat belts on
No??
I was thinking the same…. Even the manual says push both valves in
You shouldn’t need the paper if you remember everything
Hello Felicia and others who helped to make this video! It's been beyond helpful. My only "negative" here, is that at certain points in the video, I can hear someone else saying something.

You fail already where is your belt?
Not on the test anymore bub
Use common sense, focus on the information
If you watch this video over and over again you will pass. Also should be reading the handbook. I read page by page.
Wow thats greater
Missing to say - Back of the trailer 100% DOT TAPE. I love this video ❤
I made one mistake & didn’t give me a chance at all
were you examined by a STATE DMV employee??? you're allowed to miss a few items
@@MissyMuthaTruckiN at DMV examiner & nop
What mistake did you make?
@@RandomShit970if the air pressure is over 100 psi bring it down just a bit which I was taught the person didn’t understand that & examiners don’t know nothing of trucks they are there to just test you once the person ask a question I said I was filling my air tanks
Forgot to mention remove keys when exiting truck ! Damn lady you have already failed!!!
My instructor told me not to do that. So every state and every instructor different.
Rule number 1: put your seat belt!
Super anlatım. Öğretmenler bir harika.
wonderful 😍🥰 I really Love Felicia training and instruction videos . I'm an Iranian guy and computer networking engineer.

Can i use this for new york state pretrip 2024? I will be going in soon for exam
hey did you use this and did it help you pass? Im also in NY state, NYC to be exact
Forgot mudflaps rear Icc bumper! Don't listen to this woman she'll just cause you to fail !!!
Facts, she's not doing it in order 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️😂😂😂😂
@@215Anthony215you don’t have to do it in order.
Fifth wheel secured to platform no illegal weld on apron you need more training lady !
Set belt should have been put on as soon as you enter your truck! She calls herself a trainer? Automatic fail !!!!
You do that when you get in a car. You should already know that.
Hey lady in 1985 when I took my CDL test I had a Texas state trooper test me ! Now a days you just have an examiner ! That's what's always been required seat belt first! In the video the gal doesn't put it on upon entering and seating in the truck just the facts and rules! Old school driver darling!! Learned from my old man Jose !! 77 Freightliner spring ride no power steering! Boy would it blow black smoke and hammer down!!!
Automatic transmission doesn't make you a real truck driver standard transmission makes you a real drive 13 speed best ever!
You will fail the 3 point brake check following this method.
You fail if you don't ask questions, you have to know what your Examiner in your state is looking for the old way or the new 2024 state of IL way.
Dot what! You mean your medical card wording is also very important! Your probably not a pro! I am 40 yrs experience Pro!!!!
Thanks for the video
