I watched this video quite a few times and learned Roberts method, terminology and the order in which he does the inspection and brake test. He has a great system, learn this video an these are the key components to cover, not more and not less. I just passed my CDL Class B skills test today on my first try here In Arizona. Thanks Robert and CDL College this video was great and I recommend it to anyone going for their Class B CDL.
@@Cdlcollege --Isn't every vehicle different,,will all the components in all class B required vehicles be the same ,,placed the same ,,look similar,,especially the motor parts,,,""water pump,,alternater,,power steering etc,,,,,Will they all basically be place in the same way and look the same...will everything be just as visible on all vehicles,,,For instance,,,a public transportation Bus???
I have watched this video non stop for the last 10 days, at least 40 times. I just got home from my CDL test and received a perfect score on my pre-trip. I am not a bright bulb, believe me, but follow this man and he will lead you to the promised destination! I am so very grateful for finding this, thanks for sharing this man's talent for all to use. I wish I could thank him personally!
Yeah! I'm watching him just now myself to take an upcoming CDL B permit test. He sounds informative, resourceful, and knowledgeable in discussing the subject matter.
Well done old chap. Don’t sell yourself short. You don’t have to work for nasa to be intelligent. It come in all forms. You’re a bright star my friend.
I took notes, watched this video a bunch, and got a perfect score on my pre-trip inspection. The instructor said it had been a long time since someone got a perfect score. Asked if I was a mechanic. I don't know hardly anything about vehicles. But now I'm an Oregon licensed CDL-B driver in 2022. Thank you so much!!!!
@@FiinesseTV yeah just what I said above. I taught myself, but was able to go practice on the trucks where my husband works. The only place I could find a rental at 26001lbs was Penske. My husband has his CDL so that's how we were able to drive it off their lot to the testing site.
@@mayahdoss7050 watching this video has made me very nervous and overwhelmed because this is a lot of stuff I’m not the most handy when it comes to parts
@@FiinesseTV I completely understand, me too. But what I did was watch the video, and pause it to write every section down. I broke it out into different areas. I made up dumb little acronyms for the verbage used for metal versus rubber parts based on familiar ideas from my background. Writing it down helped, and then I recited it to my husband while visualizing it in my head. I was so nervous. We had about 30mins to practice before my test began. Apparently all that was enough.
This video is the reason I passed on my first try. Listened and repeated everything in the video multiple times everyday until I learned everything like a song. LET THIS MAN COOK 👨🏾🍳
Just passed the Ohio CDL Class C with a Passenger endorsement. "Not Bent, Broken, or Cracked, and is securely mounted" AND "No Abrasions, Bulges, or Cuts, is securely mounted with no leaks" were 2 statements that were HUGE in me passing. Thank you!
I’m returning a sincere thank you to Robert from CDL college man. Got my Class B CDL today thanks to this video, it was my only study source and I succeeded
Hi my name is Alex from northern California. This was the very first pre-trip vid I ever watched since my journey to acquiring my CDL. I want to send a very big thank you to Robert for being the star of this video and helping me acheive my CDL. I never dreamed of ever acheiving my CDL but I did it. This vid is the only pre-trip I saved on my playlist. Thank you Robert.
I watched this video for the first time ever yesterday 6 times.. passed with flying colors I even annoyed my examiner with how much extra I named. 😂 thank you so much!
I passed on Thursday 1-21-21. I watched this vid at least 50 times and this is the video to watch if u want to pass. This vid is great! The instructor knows his stuff.
Passed my CDL today, and all credit goes to this video. Watched it twice. Took notes with it then. Then I watched it again with the notes. Then I performed the inspection with it playing on my phone. Every day for a week, if I was driving, I was listening to it. Use the terminology. Use his systems. Be robotic. It lets the tester know that you know what you’re supposed to be doing. Most importantly, use the advice at the end. TAKE YOUR TIME.
This video helped tremendously. I watched it several times and even played the audio on Bluetooth on the way to the test site. Instructor said i was one of the best he's seen in a good while.
I watched this video over at least 200 times. It got to the point to where i could recite this entire video word for word. this past friday was my CDL test in PA. I passed my first time with flying colors thanks to this video. Use this video as your guideline. You won't regret it.
I was 18 and watched this video COUNTLESS times and thanks to this video I passed my pre trip first try. Definitely listen to this man and what he says!
I took my test on Thursday and passed with flying colors the instructor said was one of best walk arounds he had in a long time thanks to this video than you
After watching the video, I always practiced on my car. At least once every day for a couple of weeks I would watch the video then use my car as the prop. Or I would take my phone with me while the video was playing to follow directions every time. It helped put things in perspective. My neighbors probably thought I was crazy for spending so much time on my car but I didn't care. I was driven to pass that test. Will be driving a concrete truck soon
My coworker and I both took our tests today. I studied this video and passed on my first try, he studied a different video and he failed. This video will help you pass I guarantee it
Robert, is the man for making this video. I got my CDL class B in 2021 thanks to him and his thorough but concise method. I wrote down everything he said as he went through the inspection so I was able to study it from my notebook while at work. I got the whole thing memorized verbatim and it was all I needed to pass with flying colors. The guy testing me even told me afterwards that that was one of the best pre-trip he had seen during a test. So for anyone seeing this for the first time, this video is all you need and if you follow Robert exactly you will have a 100 percent on your pre-trip portion of the test.
I d didn't go by the book all I did was watch this man's video I got a 53 out of 58 in less than 20 minutes successful path this is the very best CDL Class B video that there is ... I passed.. also I just want to say thank you to this man....
This video is gold. Watched it once a day for a month and a half, and easily passed the walkaround the first time. It definitely looks overwhelming at first, but just take some time with it. You'll digest more and more each day. Thank you instructor Robert (and Nathan)!
So I came back to leave a comment . I want to say this video helped me pass my test with flying colors . My test was in Maryland. I watched this video and took notes , wash , rinse , and repeat. I was able to breeze thru this test with no problems . His method works . GREAT JOB ROBERT , thanks a million !!!
This video was a great tool to listen to! I can’t thank CDL college and Robert enough for this valuable tool! I passed my class B CDL test (Indiana) today 4/20/21 thanks to this video!
I watched this video as a study guide for my class B skills test in North Carolina. A lot. I watched until I could recite it word for word along with Robert. Then I watched it some more. I watched it until I got sick of watching it. I went Tuesday and passed on the first try. The examiner told me my pre-trip was one of the best she had seen..."very thorough." Thanks CDL College of Colorado for posting this great video.
Bad news, Sam: we need you to watch this video 3 more times...You smoked the test, brother? Congrats on you and thank you for watching and learning. Stay safe out there, please.
Congratulations Samuel Hunter! I'm a N.C. resident too, and can assure you that you studied what I think might be the best CDL Pretrip study video. ... Just quit a longtime career as an OTR driver , running primarily Northeast (tractor trailer). Your life truly relies on this pretrip stuff. Watch it with these trucking companies! Most of them are underfunded on maintenence , and there's a shortage of mechanics equal to the driver shortage . Best Wishes and safe travels!
I watched this video and self studied in preparation for my Class B test. This video was super helpful, my instructor didn't even make me go to the rear axle of the vehicle. Thanks for the video Robert. 10/10 I would recommend people preparing for a CDL test to use this video to help them prepare.
I passed my cdl class B today. Thanks to this video! Can’t recommend it enough. If you’re taking your test watch this video learn the steps and you too will pass. Also read the manual for your state. Thank you Robert! “I’m telling maintenance!”
I just passed my CDL exam in NY.. this video was a HUGE help.. the tester said I was the best she had ever had.. just memorize this video I’m telling you you’ll pass.. learn more about the engine compartment other than that this video is perfect. Thanks Robert!
Gotta give props. Passed my exam the other day. Prior to failing the first time I came upon this video and watched it more than a few times. Paid for school and they didn’t teach me much. It was as if the instructor cared nothing but finishing every session so he can get back to relaxing. So I took my chance with learning on TH-cam. One thing that stuck the most was trust in the “Better to say too much than not enough” this helped me in ways I can’t even imagine. Thank you CDL College. Best video on TH-cam. 👌
I just finished my pre trip. I passed and I'm so thankful of this video. I watched this video so many times its crazy. Dont get cocky and and repeat your pre trip ny yourself out loud over and over and over. You really gotta get familiar with all the components and the terms. Good luck thanks for this video you made this whole process so much easier for me.
I'm required to get a Class B CDL because of joining my local volunteer fire department. I've heard about this inspection being the toughest part. Now I understand why. But your video, Robert, has helped me enormously! I'll be studying your video MANY times! You've made a difference, Robert. Thank you so much!
I took my CDL Road Test a couple of days ago and passed the Pre-Trip portion with ease because of this video. The other 2 portions were easy, the pre-trip is the hardest part for those looking into getting their CDL.
Spot on, Dani! What you typed is exactly correct. The P/T inspection is the most difficult part of the ClassB Skills Test. Congratulations and thank you so much for watching. Stay safe out there.
I got told to watch this video before I take my cdl test for the state. I passed on my first attempt. I had no idea what to do before and was worried but this guy makes it easy to understand. Thanks for the awesome video
Just got my class B CDL for my job with State Forestry! This video helped out so much! Instructor had nothing but good things to say and asked if I went to a college. If you watch this video study the truck and the paperwork you will pass. Remember your phrases and be confident when you talk!
I watch this video Over a 100 times when I was studying for my pretrip and fallow Robert method, it works too the tea. The instructor said I did so well that I should teach others. I was fast and I knew what I was talking about. Thank you Robert your amazing. If your learning your pre trip ,Your at the right place. Follow Robert and you can't lose.
Thank you for showing a less than perfect vehicle! So many videos choose vehicles that looked barely used, see defects help get an additional idea of what we'll see if it's damaged
A most sincere thank you for instructing us on how to take and successfully pass the inspection portion of the test rather than just show us how to do an inspection
When I took my class B, I found an issue on the truck and yell, “I’M TELLING MAINTENANCE!” The instructor wasn’t amused…but I passed. Hahaha Thank you for this! It really does work guys and gals!
i just got my CDL B today. i will say that the hardest part was the pre trip inspection. The driving portion had it's own set of issues but really, if you can drive, you can drive. i am commenting because i truly want to thank Robert and CDL College for this video. Robert, you did a great job in preparing me for the pre trip inspection and i want to thank you for that.
Hey I want to say that I received my class B license this week thanks in part to Robert. I listened to his instruction over and over for the last week and a half in order to learn the CDL language and this helped me tremendously. 👍💪
I have watched probably 2 dozen of these videos and this one is by far the best one of the bunch! Nop other one is even close to being as comprehensive as this one. Robert has done an amazing job. If you watch this and commit it to memory, you will have no problem on your test.
Thank you so much Robert I watched your video countless times and everyone at my job kept telling me “your going to fail your first time, everyone does” and I told them I promise you I’ll pass my first time, thanks to you sir and your clear information I passed my class B cdl test two days ago!!! You saved my job sir thank you
@@mikez422 when I first started there they give you 3 months to get your class B license. Your story reminded me of those days. Took an educated guess. I’m now a tech 2 there.
Yusef so I shouldn’t let the truck stall by letting it shut down by itself. To hill start a striaght truck is to let the clutch off about 50 percent and let go the brake immediately and press the accelerator right. To make right and left turns is same as car right. Because it doesn’t come with electrical and service air lines.
Just passed my CDL class B test just a few mins ago. Thanks to this video, I never had to do a pre-trip on a dumb truck before until today. Passed with flying colors thank you so much for the video.
While you’re taking the driving test (road/highway) you must obey these rules. •Make stop completely to all entrences to roads including yeld signs. •Must obey “on&exit” ramp posted speed limits and signs •Must safely stop at stop lights. If light turns yellow before truck crosses white paint stop lane, then you have run a red light. •No right turns on red light •Watch for double turn lane > go to propper lane. •Must maintain the flow of the traffic, and get up to speed as to not impede traffic. VERY IMPORTANT!!!! Must stay within 5mph of speed limit always when safe to do so. • Must look door mirrors every 5-8 seconds. • left turn one lane into 2 lanes - Do not enter into the right lane. Make the turn from the designated lane(use left lane) Right turn one lane into 2 lanes - do not enter into the left lane. This rule it’s considered illegal in some states and it only applies for class A drivers but you still got to change the lane asap after the turn.
A light turning yellow as you cross the white paint stop line doesn't indicate running a red light. If the light turns red before you cross that line it is running a red light. If you are in the middle of an intersection and the light turns yellow you are obviously fine.
Jusy passed my test yesterday, I used every term/pattern Robert used and it definitely helped me. I watched this video constantly for about 3 days straight until I got it. Thanks you guys!
This video played a vital role in me passing my pre trip test, now I have an air brake endorsement on my CDL.Thanks so much CDL college and thank you Robert 😘
I must say I'm at the Department of Driver Services taking my test today and I only used what I saw in the video for the past two days I just passed my test these guys are awesome thank you thank you thank you
Just want to say I haven't studied anything on the walk around. Watched this video about a hundred times the day before my test. I did the test exactly like this and I was able to pass my test today! Just wanted to say thank you so much for this video the instructor in this video is great. 🎉🎉
FANTASTIC video - HIGHLY recommend it - practically memorized it for my passenger endorsement pre-trip (adapted it for a passenger vehicle). The phrases 'not bent, broken, or cracked, securely mounted' and 'no abrasions, bulges, or cuts, securely mounted' were IMMENSELY HELPFUL. Kudos and many thanks to Robert, nice work, definitely.
This video is not bent ,not broken ,not cracked and securely mounted ! Just passed my CDL class B road test here in Texas , just want to give y’all a big thank you !
I watched this video several times and really took notes. I went and passed the Pretrip inspection without a problem. Thank you Robert. Hope you still doing well and still teaching.
Just passed my Class B CDL test with a perfect score on the pre-trip inspection. Had to start from the front and work my way around the entire truck, but the key phrases and top down method made it easy. Also, my truck was certainly not perfect but as Robert says, it is important to point out all and any imperfections! My tester was very impressed! Thank you so much for the video!
You made a logical commitment to learn this information and then impress the heck out your tester. We just made a video. From our point of view, you rock! We partially rock. Congratulations, Zachery! Stay safe.
Just a warning for anyone in Illinois that does the test after watching this video, everything is fantastic up until the 3 part air brake test, for the air leak test DO NOT have the key in the on position it has to be off and then turn it on to pump the breaks, I got an auto fail because of it even tho I did everything else perfectly, this is a fantastic video and I highly recommend it, just double check in your states book about that bit
I passed my Class B today and this video helped a lot! I was able to practice the appropriate phrasing for rubber, metal, glass etc as I learned the vehicle that I tested with.
Thank you Robert from you tube I just took my pre-test exam today Saturday and I passed my course now I do have a class B at With airbrake like I say thank U again I did pass my test thank you again for the pre-test exam you gave threw TH-cam
I passed my road test today first try!!! This video helped me greatly!! I watched this video over and over for a couple days and passed my pre trip and road test with flying colors. Easy work!!
I passed with a near perfect score because of this video. I was nervous when i found out about how detailed this pre trip was. But i studied over and over for a few weeks. I was nervous at first but when i started i had so much info remembered that it was near impossible to forget. Thanks for this video!
I know I’m a year late but I’d just like to thank the makers of this for help with passing my pre trip inspection, failed it once found this video and passed the following day!
Thank you very much for this video! I watched this video about 10 times, and one extra time on my way to take my test. I passed my CDL-B skills test in Pennsylvania thanks to this video!
I just pass my test. This TH-cam was very helpful yes I got tired of looking and listening but it paid off. Thank you so much. You was on point with everything. I am 65 years old and a woman. The instructor told me I did better than some of the men that come in. He said I do not have women your age coming in. You can do it just keep trying. Thanks
thank you guys so much for this video i literally watched this video 30 times and watched it this morning before i took my driving test and got my class B
Thank you so much for posting this video. Watched it 30+ times. Aced my pretrip because of it and the phrases in it. The examiner actually told me to stop because I was so thorough and hit every point possible.
just passed my road test and i’m from the new york area. i watched this video at least 10 times and i aced that portion of the video, thank you so much for the info you are the man
So, I obtained my cdl class b license in VA and watched this video dozens of times to passed! Only mistake I made was bringing a loaded garbage truck to the test site. Luckily, they still let me take the test 😂
I've been studying this video for over a month to get my cdl class b here in Michigan. Although this is an older video, nothing much has changed for what they expect you to know now. This video helped me out allot!

@@bogsbrinner3817 For the most part, most components are in the same place. The big concern is whether it is belt or gear driven.

Thank you, Pirate Dave, glad to help. Nice of you to comment.

I watched this video and self studied in preparation for my Class B test. This video was super helpful, my instructor didn't even make me go to the rear axle of the vehicle. Thanks for the video Robert. 10/10 I would recommend people preparing for a CDL test to use this video to help them prepare.
Just wanna thank this video for preparing me for my pre trip. Rocked that test today and owe it all to this video. Took that instructor to cdl college
I lost count how many times I watched this video. I passed!!! Thank you Robert. We never met but you were my instructor. Awesome teacher!
But how can anyone possibly remember all of it lol!!!
watched this video a million times and today i passed! thank you so much
I passed my cdl class B today. Thanks to this video! Can’t recommend it enough. If you’re taking your test watch this video learn the steps and you too will pass. Also read the manual for your state. Thank you Robert! “I’m telling maintenance!”
It all is overwhelming
I just passed my CDL exam in NY.. this video was a HUGE help.. the tester said I was the best she had ever had.. just memorize this video I’m telling you you’ll pass.. learn more about the engine compartment other than that this video is perfect. Thanks Robert!
Gotta give props. Passed my exam the other day. Prior to failing the first time I came upon this video and watched it more than a few times. Paid for school and they didn’t teach me much. It was as if the instructor cared nothing but finishing every session so he can get back to relaxing. So I took my chance with learning on TH-cam. One thing that stuck the most was trust in the “Better to say too much than not enough” this helped me in ways I can’t even imagine. Thank you CDL College. Best video on TH-cam. 👌
Thanks a lot, Shaun. Your views and comment mean are awesome. Congratulations on passing!
I just finished my pre trip. I passed and I'm so thankful of this video. I watched this video so many times its crazy. Dont get cocky and and repeat your pre trip ny yourself out loud over and over and over. You really gotta get familiar with all the components and the terms. Good luck thanks for this video you made this whole process so much easier for me.
I’m a trainer for my company and this is the video I use whenever I train a new driver.
I'm required to get a Class B CDL because of joining my local volunteer fire department. I've heard about this inspection being the toughest part. Now I understand why. But your video, Robert, has helped me enormously! I'll be studying your video MANY times! You've made a difference, Robert. Thank you so much!
Watched this video a couple dozen times and I smoked my Test! Thank you guys.
We love smoky test results. Thank you, Shane! Congratulations to you.
Cdl college thank you for helping me pass my class b pre trip test. I took it today and rock it. Your video was 100% helpful.
Monroe Jermany
Congrats!!
Did you take your test in California?
Passed my test yesterday, thanks for your help. Studied by watching video over and over. Appreciate it
Taking my class b road test today . I have great faith i will pass this video is the best
I took my CDL Road Test a couple of days ago and passed the Pre-Trip portion with ease because of this video. The other 2 portions were easy, the pre-trip is the hardest part for those looking into getting their CDL.
Spot on, Dani! What you typed is exactly correct. The P/T inspection is the most difficult part of the ClassB Skills Test. Congratulations and thank you so much for watching. Stay safe out there.
I PASSED TODAY!!!!! Third time but this time I studied this video and worked like a charm thank you so so much
This Video Is Legendary💯 Thank You Robert, Got My Cdl On My First Try Last Week❗️
I got told to watch this video before I take my cdl test for the state. I passed on my first attempt. I had no idea what to do before and was worried but this guy makes it easy to understand. Thanks for the awesome video
I passed my Class B CDL test this past Monday. This video helped me out a lot. Thanks.
That's awesome, Kenroy. Congratulations to you!
Just got my class B CDL for my job with State Forestry! This video helped out so much! Instructor had nothing but good things to say and asked if I went to a college. If you watch this video study the truck and the paperwork you will pass. Remember your phrases and be confident when you talk!
I watch this video Over a 100 times when I was studying for my pretrip and fallow Robert method, it works too the tea. The instructor said I did so well that I should teach others. I was fast and I knew what I was talking about. Thank you Robert your amazing. If your learning your pre trip ,Your at the right place. Follow Robert and you can't lose.
Thank you for showing a less than perfect vehicle! So many videos choose vehicles that looked barely used, see defects help get an additional idea of what we'll see if it's damaged
Thank you. I watched this video a hundred times and I passed today. I actually yelled "I'm telling maintenance."
A most sincere thank you for instructing us on how to take and successfully pass the inspection portion of the test rather than just show us how to do an inspection
Thanks to Robert, I passed my Class B CDL in Missouri this morning.
When I took my class B, I found an issue on the truck and yell, “I’M TELLING MAINTENANCE!” The instructor wasn’t amused…but I passed. Hahaha
Thank you for this! It really does work guys and gals!
this was great in the video for me
i just got my CDL B today. i will say that the hardest part was the pre trip inspection. The driving portion had it's own set of issues but really, if you can drive, you can drive.
i am commenting because i truly want to thank Robert and CDL College for this video. Robert, you did a great job in preparing me for the pre trip inspection and i want to thank you for that.
I just passed my cdl today everything in this video is exactly how it is best video to watch thanks for the help
Nicely done, Jeremy! Thank you for watching and learning. Take it easy out there.
Hey I want to say that I received my class B license this week thanks in part to Robert. I listened to his instruction over and over for the last week and a half in order to learn the CDL language and this helped me tremendously. 👍💪
I have watched probably 2 dozen of these videos and this one is by far the best one of the bunch! Nop other one is even close to being as comprehensive as this one. Robert has done an amazing job. If you watch this and commit it to memory, you will have no problem on your test.
Thank you so much Robert I watched your video countless times and everyone at my job kept telling me “your going to fail your first time, everyone does” and I told them I promise you I’ll pass my first time, thanks to you sir and your clear information I passed my class B cdl test two days ago!!! You saved my job sir thank you
You're welcome, Mike! Your commitment to passing made the difference. Stay safe.
You Penske employee?
@@Mordorer I am how’d you know
@@mikez422 when I first started there they give you 3 months to get your class B license. Your story reminded me of those days. Took an educated guess. I’m now a tech 2 there.
@@Mordorer haha makes sense. Nice man as am I. Moved up pretty quick
I finally found a video that actually walks you through a proper walk through. And is understandable!
I Just passed my test today. This vid helped alot.
Congratulations, Yusef! You're on your way...
Yusef Talib Siraj El-Bey hi there how long you been driving thanks
Yusef Talib Siraj El-Bey - Congratulations. Best of luck to you.
Yusef so I shouldn’t let the truck stall by letting it shut down by itself. To hill start a striaght truck is to let the clutch off about 50 percent and let go the brake immediately and press the accelerator right. To make right and left turns is same as car right. Because it doesn’t come with electrical and service air lines.
Driving straight truck is same thing as manual car right but it just double clutching mad different than car.
Just passed my CDL class B test just a few mins ago. Thanks to this video, I never had to do a pre-trip on a dumb truck before until today. Passed with flying colors thank you so much for the video.
While you’re taking the driving test (road/highway) you must obey these rules.
•Make stop completely to all entrences to roads including yeld signs.
•Must obey “on&exit” ramp posted speed limits and signs
•Must safely stop at stop lights. If light turns yellow before truck crosses white paint stop lane, then you have run a red light.
•No right turns on red light
•Watch for double turn lane > go to propper lane.
•Must maintain the flow of the traffic, and get up to speed as to not impede traffic. VERY IMPORTANT!!!! Must stay within 5mph of speed limit always when safe to do so.
• Must look door mirrors every 5-8 seconds.
• left turn one lane into 2 lanes - Do not enter into the right lane. Make the turn from the designated lane(use left lane)
Right turn one lane into 2 lanes - do not enter into the left lane. This rule it’s considered illegal in some states and it only applies for class A drivers but you still got to change the lane asap after the turn.
A light turning yellow as you cross the white paint stop line doesn't indicate running a red light. If the light turns red before you cross that line it is running a red light. If you are in the middle of an intersection and the light turns yellow you are obviously fine.
It’s the same as driving manual car to make left and right turn but I need to double shift on road test right?
Jusy passed my test yesterday, I used every term/pattern Robert used and it definitely helped me. I watched this video constantly for about 3 days straight until I got it. Thanks you guys!
This video played a vital role in me passing my pre trip test, now I have an air brake endorsement on my CDL.Thanks so much CDL college and thank you Robert 😘
I like that program
This video was well made.
Not bent, not broken and not cracked.
but is it securely mounted?
Thank you Robert, I passed my test today ! I put all my eggs in 1 basket meaning this was the only vid I used to study and I aced my test !
Just passed my class b driving test today, Illinois. This video is great, thank you!
Well done, Wylie!
I must say I'm at the Department of Driver Services taking my test today and I only used what I saw in the video for the past two days I just passed my test these guys are awesome thank you thank you thank you
Just want to say I haven't studied anything on the walk around. Watched this video about a hundred times the day before my test. I did the test exactly like this and I was able to pass my test today! Just wanted to say thank you so much for this video the instructor in this video is great. 🎉🎉
Viewed this video a ton of times and mastered his walk around. I passed my cdl test today on the first time! Thank you Robert!!!
Well done, Stormy! You made a commitment and reached your goal. Stay safe out there.
Like many others, I too studied this vid and passed on my first try…
Thanks, Clint Eastwood for your excellent performance as a driving instructor!
FANTASTIC video - HIGHLY recommend it - practically memorized it for my passenger endorsement pre-trip (adapted it for a passenger vehicle). The phrases 'not bent, broken, or cracked, securely mounted' and 'no abrasions, bulges, or cuts, securely mounted' were IMMENSELY HELPFUL. Kudos and many thanks to Robert, nice work, definitely.
What a nice comment, Michael. Thank you for watching, learning, and commenting.
This video is not bent ,not broken ,not cracked and securely mounted ! Just passed my CDL class B road test here in Texas , just want to give y’all a big thank you !
I watched this video several times and really took notes. I went and passed the Pretrip inspection without a problem. Thank you Robert. Hope you still doing well and still teaching.
This dude is so good at teaching this. From strategy, complete demonstration, to attitude.
Just passed my Class B CDL test with a perfect score on the pre-trip inspection. Had to start from the front and work my way around the entire truck, but the key phrases and top down method made it easy. Also, my truck was certainly not perfect but as Robert says, it is important to point out all and any imperfections! My tester was very impressed! Thank you so much for the video!
You made a logical commitment to learn this information and then impress the heck out your tester. We just made a video. From our point of view, you rock! We partially rock. Congratulations, Zachery! Stay safe.
Thanks a lot!! I got my Class B license off your video. May God continue to bless you and your teaching.
Just a warning for anyone in Illinois that does the test after watching this video, everything is fantastic up until the 3 part air brake test, for the air leak test DO NOT have the key in the on position it has to be off and then turn it on to pump the breaks, I got an auto fail because of it even tho I did everything else perfectly, this is a fantastic video and I highly recommend it, just double check in your states book about that bit
I passed my Class B today and this video helped a lot! I was able to practice the appropriate phrasing for rubber, metal, glass etc as I learned the vehicle that I tested with.
Thank you Robert from you tube I just took my pre-test exam today Saturday and I passed my course now I do have a class B at With airbrake like I say thank U again I did pass my test thank you again for the pre-test exam you gave threw TH-cam
Thank you, brother Pedro!
I passed my road test today first try!!! This video helped me greatly!! I watched this video over and over for a couple days and passed my pre trip and road test with flying colors. Easy work!!
This is the best cdl-b pre trip inspection ever. I've watched Robert do his thing and he helped me past my test on my first try. Thank you
Same here I passed mine today but I'll never get his voice out of my head "I'm telling maintenance "
I passed my CDL test today. Thanks for the help Robert.
I passed with a near perfect score because of this video. I was nervous when i found out about how detailed this pre trip was. But i studied over and over for a few weeks. I was nervous at first but when i started i had so much info remembered that it was near impossible to forget. Thanks for this video!
Nicely done, Chris. Thank you for commenting and stay safe out there.
Small world lol trying to get mine soon chris.
@@Jacob_6420 did you pass your test!
@@Christ.Called yes I did pass first time!
I know I’m a year late but I’d just like to thank the makers of this for help with passing my pre trip inspection, failed it once found this video and passed the following day!
Sweet! Nicely done, John. Congratulations to you and best of luck. Stay safe out there.
Thank you very much for this video! I watched this video about 10 times, and one extra time on my way to take my test. I passed my CDL-B skills test in Pennsylvania thanks to this video!
I just pass my test. This TH-cam was very helpful yes I got tired of looking and listening but it paid off. Thank you so much. You was on point with everything. I am 65 years old and a woman. The instructor told me I did better than some of the men that come in. He said I do not have women your age coming in. You can do it just keep trying. Thanks
thank you guys so much for this video i literally watched this video 30 times and watched it this morning before i took my driving test and got my class B
your driving oopurtunties are endless now congrats
To drive straight truck to make turns is same thing as car right?
I just passed my CDL yesterday with this video. GREAT JOB ROBERT and Thanks again.
Thank you so much for posting this video. Watched it 30+ times. Aced my pretrip because of it and the phrases in it. The examiner actually told me to stop because I was so thorough and hit every point possible.
Well done, sledhead! Great story to read and thank you for all of those views. Your commitment to learning had a hand in your success, too. Stay safe.
just passed my road test and i’m from the new york area. i watched this video at least 10 times and i aced that portion of the video, thank you so much for the info you are the man
This is a year old post. Was it in NYC or Upstate?

Good for you, Charles. Nicely done. Thanks a lot for commenting!
Charles Russell hi Charles how long you been driving to pass the test thanks
Im considering getting a class B in NJ in the spring or summer. Any advice? Did you go through a school, if so would you recommend them?
I passed my pre-trip because of the help of this video. I must say thanks to robert for sharing his knowledge.
That's fantastic, Leahcim. Thank you for learning this material.
So, I obtained my cdl class b license in VA and watched this video dozens of times to passed! Only mistake I made was bringing a loaded garbage truck to the test site. Luckily, they still let me take the test 😂
Where in va you passed ?
