You are welcome and thank you for watching.

Glad it helped

Thank you and good luck.

No problem

Thank you for that information I’m currently working on the pre trip examination video hope I should be done with the video at the end of this year.

Ey can u look back while doing these test like literally look back from your window to straight line backing or offset or parallel parking

To be honest every DMV is different the DMV where I tested they don’t care if you look in your back window but it’s very encouraged to look in your mirrors only in a semi truck you don’t have a back window if you have a sleeper you might have a back window in a day cab so it’s better to train with just looking at your mirrors.

@@RATLLC oh ok it's because I'm trying to get my cdl to drive my truck and maybe a gooseneck but I wanted to know that I'm here in tx idk if they would care u know

The best thing to do is go to the DMV and watch what they’re doing how they’re testing and watch the people that are testing you can see if they’re looking in the back window or not and you’ll have more information you can ask instructors over there also for the examiners

Yes indeed it is 👍

Good luck man 👍👍

I got mine 5/7 lol 🙏🏽

@@YBCannonz good luck to u too 👍

I have my driving test on the 21st in north Houston nervous but i feel confident!

Thanks 🙏

You're welcome!

Thank you for that. I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment to the video my goal is to help and make it easy on you guys so you guys don’t go through what I went through.

@@RATLLC it looks like you made it through with ease.

I’m Surviving just like any other car hauler trying to make it big I just did much research before I got into this rewarding business.

So my question is when did you parallel park. Do they have painted lines for parallel park. Like when you enter the lain?

Good question and they have better then a yellow painted lines they had “looper tube”

Truck was automatic. And yes he great person.

Thank you! Yes there is but it’s random you can get chosen to do alley docking or parallel parking. One or the other sometimes both.

Hey thanks for watching Im going to be editing some videos soon I don’t have a pre trip video yet but stay tuned I’ll post one soon. And good luck next week stay clam remember everything sound confident in knowing what you are talking about. You will definitely pass the pre trip test.

@@RATLLC thanks for the reply brotha, and thanks I’m taking a dodge with a 32 foot flatbed gooseneck hope that qualifies and I’m in SoCal so appointment is at the Fontana test facility. So depending on what test the examiner gives you AB or C depends what sections you need to describe on the pre? Also for the in cab section what is needed do you need to have an extinguisher mounted and fuses or just mention that?

@@georgemaciel4649 no problem And yes you should be good man but I strongly strongly recommend getting a truck and trailer with air brakes in it. Later on you would want to get a semi truck or a truck with air brakes. And you will have air brakes L restrictions on your license. Which means you can’t drive a semi or a truck with air brakes. I took a second test with a semi truck and had to do everything all over. You don’t want to do that because after fed 7 you would have to pay $7k to just do air breaks. Rent a truck and trailer from a CDL school should be $300 for the day and take your test with that. Trust me.

@@georgemaciel4649 and for the fire extinguisher and fuses and 3 hazard triangles has to be in the truck at all times. You would need to point at it when you are doing a in cab inspection.

@@RATLLC yup totally understand your point on that Feb 7 date and that’s the reason I’m doing this before although I plan to start my business later this year after I get my actual truck and trailer for my setup and all permits and insurances needed. I didn’t do air brakes so I will be doing my test as is I know it makes sense to do air brakes now and get it over with but this is what I’m able to do at the moment.

Jajajaja tomorrow is my road test!!!!!!

Good don’t worry you will pass. 👍👍

@@RATLLC I passed with 1 point but I did!!!!!!!! Feeeeeeel sooooo gooood!!!

Nice man !!! I’m so happy for you it’s the best feeling man!!!

Thank you. Anything that combination weight (truck and trailer over 26k you need a class A. If you are with 26k you don’t need a class A. Most of the ppl I know that has a bump truck have a class B or A.

Good question and no you get only one license on that one license it will say class A and M1 for motorcycle etc DMV will send you a notice to renew your DOT physical and drug test is expired it’s usually after 2 years then if you choose not to renew your DOT drug test then you can only drive class C but if you do renew it then you can do both CDL or Class C and you can use that for all identification purposes...

Yes you do the regular pre trip inspection Except the air break test If your vehicle dose not have air breaks you don’t don’t take the air break test.

Good question I got lucky usually in that area there’s a lot of traffic all the time what I did was I saw that there was no vehicles behind me so I change lanes based on the instruction I was given by the instructor and I make sure that there was no vehicles behind me and I made sure that I was clear

Do you know why you didn’t have to do the 90degree turn into the parking space ?

I have no idea

Nope no one asked me anything. Yes I had to do the Pre-trip inspection, that will be the first thing you are going to do before you take any other test and if you fail pre-trip then you will not advance to another test. So make sure you pass

RAT LLC where do you check or study for the pre-trip and post trip for a setup like ours? No air brake endorsement. I don’t find to much information

Hopefully soon I’m going to make a video on that very important video that’s exactly what i wanted to know when I was getting into car hauling hotshots I want to help you guys out as much as possible stay tuned for the video.. now what I did was took pictures of everything in my truck and memories what everything was and did my pre-trip exam study that way. I’ll make a video soon.

Damn this instructor is hela nice!

@@gil9905 yea he was a nice dude

Thanks Yes this was back in 2019 when you can use a 1ton truck to get a class A I had to go back and do my air brakes test with a ten speed semi the same year without any restrictions. Yes it’s semi now and would have to complete a trucking school.

Okay that makes sense. Yea I missed the cutoff for being required to go to a school by 4 days…so I start tomorrow. Only going to the school for 1 week though so I’ve been studying the walk around paperwork like a fiend and watching videos like yours 👍🏼

@@danesmith4552 Nice that’s good I have a PreTrip video and also can send you a PDF of the study guide that will help a lot and good luck.

Commercial DMV in Virginia.. better to call and ask.. I have no idea except in Cali.

Slow down Look both ways left & right if when you feel safe then cross.

Yes you can. But a lot of the DMV are different they may ask not to… and most they don’t care.

Thanks and no need to go to cdl school I paid about $68 dollars for my test and my family member just took his test for $83.. study and practice... then rent a truck with air breaks for $120 from enterprise and take your test Yes definitely up north if you work for 11hrs 5 days a week you can do close to 7k to 10k a week really at the end depends on loads if available...first when there is loads you can make good money and 2nd you can’t be lazy got to work hard every day. No days off when your owner ops

Correction after Diesel and miscellaneous you are doing about $4k -6k

Do you need a trailer when taking the test ? Or a truck with air brakes is good enough?

Definitely need a trailer

@@RATLLC so they don’t provide a trailer for non commercial? So basically they except that you drove there illegally? I guess your test paper receipt would be proof to CHP that you are about to test? I’m trying to get certified before I get my truck and tiny house... renting is a good idea! don’t know what to do about the trailer... maybe I’ll just wait until I own one.

Can get a better idea of how wide the streets are to make a wide turn or tight turns. Also get a better idea of what street it is for the ppl that are testing at this DMV.

Hey what’s going on man no problem and thanks for watching I usually reply pretty fast so you’re doing a 30 foot gooseneck flatbed they don’t ask you anything all you have to do is the on pretrip know what you’re talking so for example you’re going to Mention to them that it’s properly Hitched to the truck the pin is down your chains are attached safety chains emergency brake wires attached 8 plug wire harness is attached and you’re going to look at your frame of the trailer mention that it’s not cracked damaged or broken also you’re gonna talk about your tired your leaf springs your U bolts The more stuff you mention the more points you get so if he’s writing things down that’s a good and positive things I hope you pass man good luck Let me know if I’m looking for drivers

@@RATLLC I’m sure that with just mentioning what you just said and also a couple other things like leaks and stuff I’ll be ok.

@@RATLLC You’re awesome, man, wish I would’ve came across your video a couple months back, I wouldn’t have waited until now.

You don’t need a class A for 15,500 If you were over 26k lbs then yes.

Go to a CDL school you can rent one for $300 a day.

Sorry for the late reply best thing to do is listen to the instructions of the instructor but if you want too chang the lane you can if its right of way. Good luck tomorrow hope you pass

@@RATLLC thank you for the response! You’re the only person on KZfaq to respond. Thanks man I appreciate that 🙏🏼 for some good news tomorrow

No problem my friend here to help and go the speed limit make sure you stop before the white lane on the stop signs 🛑 and just be patient you will pass good luck.

@@RATLLC this is my second attempt, my first I failed the pre trip, she couldn’t tell me what I missed but all she said was that I was so close but I needed to slow down so tomorrow I’m taking my time and being patient!

Yes definitely slow down and take your time most people pass definitely the second time and you will my friend. Take your time on pre trip. Remember every little thing hazed lights you checking your battery 14 voltages in the truck everything.

Sure first advise that I was given was that what are you using your Class A for? Freight…car hauling….. etc you have to ask yourself that question. Second is now that law has changed it’s pretty hard to get a class A. You have to enroll into a school now pay up to $7k for the classes. Unless you have your permit before feb 7 2022. If so then you don’t need a class to get a class A. Before I get into the details let me ask you a question have you did your written test ? And got your permit?

@@RATLLC thank you! I’m in trouble then! I don’t have any permits, test, nothing! I do construction and I’ll be hauling equipment. I have a Dodge 5500 and 14’ dump trailer. I guess I can get many fines. IDK. Thanks!

What’s the GVWR for combination truck and trailer you are hauling?

@@RATLLCtruck 19K trailer 14k

@@buddyb1201 Yea 33k you need a class A. First step is to go to a school probably have to pay 7k you will take a pre general knowledge test there once you get 80% then you can go to the DMV to actual GK test once you pass then you got your permit after that you have 14 days to practice your pre trip off track parallel parking straight back and road test. Your school will provide truck and trailer for you make sure you find a school that dose unlimited test on the truck so you can pass the test eventually if you fail.

Not anymore you have to go to school.

No

Nope it’s an automatic

Please check out this video all the info you need to study for the test with restrictions for air breaks. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gtSPl5aVy72temg.html

Yes... That’s what I did 👍

@@RATLLC what about the pre-trip inspection/test? Does that need to have air brakes?

No air breaks test just pre-trip inspection

So basically if you don’t have air breaks you don’t take the air break test just the pre trip inspection for your truck and trailer just like how you would do with an semi truck except the air breaks.

@@RATLLC so could you still drive a semi with air brakes and such if you do the test without? Or do they put restrictions on your license just to drive pickup and trailer?

It’s better to do air brakes with a semi truck/ trailer. So you have no restrictions on the license.

Whatever is posted as the speed limit on that road with tracks on it.

@@RATLLC Alright thanks a lot

No problem

Nope it was me and my truck and trailer

@@RATLLC but technically one needs a CDL holder to operate CMV with learner's CDL right ?

@@RATLLC is you truck and trailer are CDL required right ?

It’s required a CDL but I live 3 miles away from the commercial DMV so it wasn’t an issue for me

Just came back from Lancaster CA DMV. They made me bring someone with CDL A. They showed me in my permit that I MUST, even it without air brakes. That DMV is really sucks.

You can take a test with any truck and trailer But make sure it’s a long one they might tell you that it’s to short for class A And also you will have no air breaks on your license if you don’t do semi truck.

Hello Even vehicle with trailer has a GVWR of 26,000 pounds or less (ram 3500 gvwr 14000 and trailer 12000)?

You should be good to go My truck and trailer Ram 3500 GVWR 14k Trailer 50’wedge 4 car hauler GVWR 19k I did a pre trip test/conventional parking parallel parking offset parking and road test on the combination.

@@RATLLC is there any written guideline as to what is too short? I have a 14 foot gooseneck with a gvwr of 14000 that i drive with my sierra 3500

@@northstatehauling657 no written guidelines at all the best thing to do is to go drive the trailer to the DMV and see if they let you test on it.

Yes restricted to airbrakes

@@RATLLC doesn't this also put a fifth wheel restriction on your cdl A ?

Nope just no air breaks for me

No you need air brakes. Which I had to go and redo the test. It’s better to do it with a semi. To do air brakes.

@@RATLLC thanks for the fast reply. But you could still go out there with with out that California weight limitations?

If you take the test without the air brakes. You will have a restriction on your license with no air brakes and no manual transmission. No weight restrictions.

@@RATLLC when you went to do it again in a semi, did you rent one?

@@caligrown2460 at the time yes But now you can’t due to the change of law. You have to go through a school now.

Road test about 35-40min if you do the speed limit.

Thank u so much bro now i know its a long drive

Yah just take it easy and focus on the instructions and the road the train 🚊 tracks look both ways and you should be good 👍

Thanks bro u make it seee super easy in the skills

Practice practice practice that’s all it is my friend. Thanks tho

You don’t have to in the dmv that I did my test but every dmv is different . The best this to is go there and ask the ppl that already took the test and see if you have to say something.

@@RATLLC ok. I might just to be on the safe side

Ok so are you in Cali ?

If so then all you have to do is study this from the (California commercial driver handbook) *****(note this is only for car hauler with no air brakes)**** SECTION 2: DRIVING SAFELY ..................... 2-1 2.1 - Vehicle Inspection ............................... 2-1 2.2 - Basic Control of Your Vehicle ............ 2-10 2.3 - Shifting Gears.....................................2-11 2.4 - Seeing ............................................... 2-13 2.5 - Communicating ................................. 2-14 2.6 - Controlling Your Speed...................... 2-17 2.7 - Managing Space ............................... 2-21 2.8 - Seeing Hazards ................................. 2-24 2.9 - Distracted Driving .............................. 2-28 2.10 - Aggressive Drivers/Road Rage ....... 2-31 2.11 - Driving at Night ................................ 2-32 2.12 - Driving in Fog .................................. 2-35 2.13 - Driving in Winter .............................. 2-36 2.14 - Driving in Very Hot Weather ............ 2-37 2.15 - Railroad-Highway Crossings ........... 2-39 2.16 - Mountain Driving ............................. 2-41 2.17 - Driving Emergencies ....................... 2-43 2.18 - Antilock Braking Systems ................ 2-46 2.19 - Skid Control and Recovery.............. 2-47 2.20 - Accident Procedures ....................... 2-49 2.21 - Fires ................................................ 2-49 2.22 - Alcohol, Other Drugs, and Driving ..... 2-52 2.23 - Hazardous Materials Rules for All Commercial Drivers .................................... 2-54 SECTION 6: COMBINATION VEHICLES....... 6-1 6.1 - Driving Combination Vehicles Safely..... 6-1 6.2 - Combination Vehicle Air Brakes .......... 6-5 6.3 - Antilock Brake Systems ....................... 6-8 6.4 - Coupling and Uncoupling .................... 6-8 6.5 - Inspecting a Combination Vehicle ..... 6-12 SECTION 11: VEHICLE INSPECTION TEST11-1 11.1 - All Vehicles........................................11-1 11.2 - Internal Inspection (All Vehicles).......11-1 11.3 - External Inspection (All Vehicles) .....11-4 11.4 - School Bus Only ...............................11-8 11.5 - Trailer................................................11-9 11.6 - Coach/Transit Bus ............................11-9 11.7 - Taking the CDL Vehicle Inspection Test ............................................................11-10 ****NOTE YOU DONT HAVE TO STUDY THE ENTIRE HANDBOOK IF YOU WANT THIS LICENSE FOR CAR HAULER THEN THIS IS ALL YOU NEED TO STUDY!

You keep saying car hauler hot shot, is that something different that a regular hotshot hauler.

Yes it is.
