LEARN HOW TO PROPERLY DO A CLASS B CDL PRE TRIP INSPECTION TO PASS YOUR TEST!!! BROUGHT TO YOU BY, MY CDL BUDDY, BADGER CDL, MILWAUKEE CDL INSTITUTE. MILWAUKEECDL.COM
Hey! I just wanted to say I got my class B cdl today. This video was the only one I watched (several times). It prepared me very well. My instructor said I did an excellent job on the walk-around and in cab inspection. Thank you for this video! Also...I wouldn't be surprised if I wake up in the middle of the night muttering, "not broken, not cracked, on secure..."😂
Glad I found this video, as I spent the nearly the past year working toward the CDL. Was perfect for me as our company truck is a very similar Freightliner. Memorizing the inspection in your video helped me pass the inspection on the first try. Thanks very much!!!
its a struggle for me ill be testing in an 04 westernstar was a semi is now used as a liquid and granulated fertilizer and chemical truck its a big difference but i suppose other than the instrument pannels and buttons its generally the same. hope your career is moving along well.
Great video,I have a remark about the air brake in cab part. I believe you also have to show the air tank will build from 85 to 100 psi in 45 seconds or less and that the air governor kicks out when the tanks are full around 125 psi. I appreciated your video my friend!
I watched this probably 25x and aced my Ga. CDL test. Very thorough and clear. Thanks for a wonderful start with a great career choice. Driving a concrete mixer now and loving it
I watched a few videos but ended up watching this one a few times for its content and length. It served as a great review before my test. I did not have to do a tug test on my parking brake but I discussed it. Also I watched the air come up after the test but my tester moved on and started talking about the next part while the air came up I only confirmed the cutout before proceeding. I passed my test on a class B dump truck and the drivers side of the truck was randomly selected by the computer in NY. Instructor wanted me to put my hands on everything and explain what I was inspecting and what for. I led with an overall approach to the truck to look for leaning indicating broken suspension, flat tire, or shifted load, and things hanging or puddles. Then I proceeded from the front door to the back of the truck noting everything unique to the dump truck as well such as tailgate hinges, locks, door hardware, tarp motor and arm, no holes in the box, nothing loose on the tailgate. This video was a great help. A minor note for the road test that may be unique to my situation but the tester never said a thing about me floating the whole way thru the test. Not saying it's right, or that it's how it should be done but my friend letting me learn on his new truck refused to let me try to double clutch on his truck. I skipped learning it and I am sure his transmission suffered and even though I had 2 terrible downshifts it wasn't a problem possibly because I aced everything else thru study and didn't have any issues handling the size of the truck thru maneuvers. I was stressed that my NY manual said to always double clutch and I didn't want to get disqualified. I used the clutch when I needed to get out of a jam and did everything else by the book. Move your head so your tester knows that you are checking your mirrors and traffic.
@@traviscarter1023 so far all I did was class B because I only had a dump truck for my test. Also my buddy was strict about not using the clutch in his truck and I was comfortable all along handling the trucks size but the shifting, engine sound, clutch, was so different than anything I had ever shifted, it was all I could do to get thru it in a manual transmission. Good thing is I don't have the restriction so I can take the class A in an automatic now. Glad I did it that way. I probably could have studied the pre trip and taken it right away in an automatic. Good luck to you if you are taking yours. Get all the points you can in the pre-trip, it would stink to make all that effort and miss it on a technicality.
@CF-wj5hc OK I well be watching these videos on how to drive a stick shift. And practice with the plunger. And do a bunch of practice test videos. I'm also waiting on my birth certificate to come in. My boss also told me to get with him to start naming off the parts under the hood for the pre trip to get better at that .
Why does it look like I have to get certified as a mechanic to become a truck driver 😂. I don't know half of what he said. All I know is if it don't look broke or leaking, it's good.
If it helps hard parts metal not cracked worn or broken soft like rubber etc are not leaking. anything with nuts bolts say it has no missing nuts or bolts or cotter pins. Tires ABC abrasions bulges or cuts Breaks DOG Dirt oil or grease For your lights state the obvious not broken missing clean & the color This is the most annoying part of the test belive me so do whatever helps good luck to you guys
So let me get this straight…we are supposed to triple check all the lights? You checked them already and then decided to recheck it when you got into the cab. As if you didn’t just check all your lights before. This is confusing.
Hello! Help me! ) Why do different teachers use different words when showing inspection? Everyone has their own version of the text! Some speak briefly, others add their various details! Is there a document somewhere that defines what I say on the exam? Or is it also a test for oratory? Can you perform a poetic version? ) For example: You: Headlights. They're not broken not cracked unsecure clean and clear. Another: The headlights are proper clear color, clean, not cracked, undamaged and have no moisture inside. Another: The headlights are clean, properly mounted and secure, not cracked, bent, or broken, and not fogged out. Another: My headlights high beams and low beams clearing color, securely mounted, not damage, are broken in good condition. ? )
I just love how he keeps saying no illegal welds. Truck drivers don’t know what illegal welds are and if you do as a truck driver find a better paying career 😂

Thanks, just past my B test. This video was very helpful. Michigan
What school did you go to?

Really appreciate this video. Great job, it’s the best by far.
Amazing job perfect paced..thank you
I’ve checked my phone. It’s not broken, not cracked, and it’s on secure. 👍🏽 Lol!
Thanks for this vid! It’s really helpful in my studies. Great work!!!
Right? 😂
Excellent video. Been using this for reference for my class B class and it really has helped 👍 11:02 11:02
Great video,I have a remark about the air brake in cab part. I believe you also have to show the air tank will build from 85 to 100 psi in 45 seconds or less and that the air governor kicks out when the tanks are full around 125 psi. I appreciated your video my friend!
Where would you put that in order with the brake test that he showed?
@Will Mayr I would assume after depleting the tank showing the spring brakes work for kicking out brake at low air level
Helpful and very straightforward. Thank you.
I watched this probably 25x and aced my Ga. CDL test. Very thorough and clear. Thanks for a wonderful start with a great career choice. Driving a concrete mixer now and loving it
Thank you. The only comment needed. 😂😂
Dude, I literally wanted to drive concrete truck or dump truck. 2nd day in school
Fantastic career in mixers, make sure you learn the Smith System. Stay safe @@RomaniaMoto
Thanks man I really think this go help me out
Tank u very much for your full explanation 👍
Very Nice teacher, thanks.
Thanks guys for everything I really appreciate it

If you don't mind me asking where you working at in NY.
@@traviscarter1023 this was Albany NY
@CF-wj5hc Yeah I noticed it's alot of work out in that area. I had a feeling you was out there are you still doing class B out there by the way.

Thank you so much!
Good job

Every tester is different but you need to know your shit. Just start studying they also got pre trip inspection test questions.
Unfortunately I’ve gotten unlucky with testers twice. Going for my last test tomorrow 🎉
@@scumbagtk7196how it go?
Exactly and it’s pissin me off I hope you’ve passed bc I’m frustrated atp!
Good video question that’s any updates on the test or the same answers
I think in New York State, you have to do the whole damn thing
You don’t do governor unload stage????
Do we have to check the rear tires on both sides or just any side.
Thanks u
For the very last brake test, the truck had to be in neutral, correct?
If it helps hard parts metal not cracked worn or broken soft like rubber etc are not leaking. anything with nuts bolts say it has no missing nuts or bolts or cotter pins.
Tires ABC abrasions bulges or cuts
Breaks DOG Dirt oil or grease
For your lights state the obvious not broken missing clean & the color
This is the most annoying part of the test belive me so do whatever helps good luck to you guys

This is a lot to remember 😶
Do you have to point to earthing in this specific order?
No but it helps to memorize the order

That’s what I’m wondering, Can I just say my headlights are clean, they aren’t cracked or broken. They look secure and are in good condition.
i pass my class b test yesterday NYC
Did you use the check list for your pre trip test.
not broken
not cracked
on secure
Idk if the other side of that frame was on secure. Never checked smh 😂😂😂😂
Good andrsetinde me
On Secure!!!!!!!, not unsecure.
He doesn't say unsecure, listen more
I just love how he keeps saying no illegal welds. Truck drivers don’t know what illegal welds are and if you do as a truck driver find a better paying career 😂
Should be NO welds. Any welds on rims or drum IS illegal
What's a good suggestion ?
Hello guys. Where is this school ?
Visit us at MilwaukeeCdl.com in Milwaukee Wisconsin.
Not broken not cracked on secure
😂
Since when is a coolant reservoir or water pump ' unique'
😂
Its unique to one side of the truck
I thought with class b you couldn't drive vehicles that are attached to a trailer...🤔
It’s a box, not a trailer.
If anyone thinks this is a trailer and not a box you don't need a cdl😂
@@scumbagtk7196 ok Sherlock
B or A class I am confused
Says right on name of video my boy. Class B
Yeah secure is the word to remember and use. It is annoying
Is there a manual book for the driving portion on a class b? Or is it all hands on/finding videos like this?
Alot of this is in the cdl manual go to the DMV and get one .
Not broken not cracked on secure
