Basically just point to every part on the truck and say "not cracked damaged or leaking" LOL

that actually looks like a lot to remember. I'm sweating just thinking about trying to remember all of that

This is awesome! About to go through the Squire program in 2 weeks. VERY informative and will help me start studying the pre trip. Thanks!

Great information!

Great video Thank you very much

Thank You! That was very educational.

nice i need this i will be going to knight soon

I passed my test in one day with the same instructor. But I miss the whole 5th wheel inspection but it wasn't enough to fail me. As far as the road test was the easiest part. Just drive safely u will pass. If anything backing and pre trip are harder.

Good morning from Flagstaff Arizona

I'm currently in Knight CDL training, they have us memorizing & reciting so much more info... our pre-trip takes a minimum of 40min! and that's if you walk & fast...

that was an outstanding pretrip inspection. great job

he did ok ...if he failed im sure he will gt all of it in the next round or two....

I’m working on this, and memorizing all parts of tractor and trailer, this is the hardest part. Next week I have my cdl test !!!

This student made many errors. Even not mentioning correctly the simple rear recap/tire depth of 2/32". He said it was 4/32" depth for all of the axles and he said this two times! Hope he made it but I have my doubts. We all get nervous so study hard and remember the details!...your examiner does.

I love the end. Says 3 things to check and only checks 2. What about the landing gear crank handle

I didn't get a good look at it, but i believe he mis indentified the water pump as the alternator, as he said alternator twice. Very good video though!

I graduated trucking school last week and start orientation with Knight next week. I was taught 105 PSI for steer tires. Also i didn't hear a mention of the pitman arm which on its own is i think 2 points on the CA pre-trip. Also 2 inches of play in slack adjuster for a dual air brake chamber, 1 inch play for single brake chamber, also 95 PSI for drives and trailer tires, he also didn't check air tanks.

I would have left the hood open when you starting the engine to check for the belts are running straight and true that that you have no loose components a no air leak or electrical arcing. you also missed the value stem on driver side for leaking.

I noticed the tread depth was wrong...also I've never heard the ICC bar being called a bumper before

Good job guy

His wordings and how he call some parts got laughing even tho I'm trying to watch it seriously. Lol

It is safe to do your inspection. My concern is. Why do I see drivers at the truck stops and some don't do their inspection. They just get up and go

Whats your opinion for Knight? I think its a good company & would apply there;just not quite time yet

I would like to Drive Knight soon. I need to go to driving school. Wish there was one here in Flagstaff Arizona

I'm history with knight transportation I could never remember all that my memory is not good....is over

He made a few mistakes,probably enough to fail. Although he had his general knowledge down, which is integral , he wasn't going verbatim on the language of it. Ie cracked damaged or leaking at appropriate times. Steer tires 4/32 then 2/32 on drives AND tandems . He didn't mention tie downs and he didn't say there were front and back spring hangers on the drives. Generally, it's a good vid so don't dismiss it. Just read and memorize the paper work and know what parts look like/ location and you'll pass.

totally different then the one we do in central valley California,

You got to do this before Every load?? wow

This is the first time ive seen this. Until now i've only read about it. Ty for vid! Im in research mode still so vids help :) Truckingtruth.com is a huge help as well

If you get everything perfect on one side, then go to the other side and say” now I’m going to explain everything on this side as I did the other” 95 percent of the time. They won’t make you explain everything on the other side if you nail one side. Engine area and in cab needs to be done no matter what. When I do my pti, I always put a dime on the tread. If you can see half to full face on the coin, you need to replace your tires. Good thing to remember. He never mentioned steering wheel to see if it had any play. He forgot to turn the wipers on and off to make sure they are in good working order and the blade is not torn or missing. What about the batteries, he didn’t check them. He should have checked the trailer permit, to make sure it was there and not torn or missing. Be sure an learn that pre trip. Sometimes, officers will pull you over just to see if you know your pre trip. If you don’t, you won’t like the outcome.

I was there in 2016

where i can download Pre trip inspection on the PDF ???

How was he timing brake test? No watch and never use your cell phone.

Just so everyone knows that the inspector is not your friend. He will not help you. And his job is not to hope you pass. His job is to try and fail you...meaning he will pick at EVERYTHING you do.

since when do u do a in cab before you do the whole outside of the vehicle lol. what happened to no loose or missing bolts

Go to the better pre trip for Knight on Marie Harrop at least you can pass the Knight school

i got dinged on mine at the DMV for grouping the tires and rims as wheels even tho i called out wheel and properly checked each one he only deducted 1/2 a point as it was only wording and he felt comfortable i inspected it and knew what to look for remember wheels are metal tires are rubber

Wonder if he passed since he didnt keep his seat belt on.

I want to get my CDL permit and drive for a good company. Just searching now for a good company

did he pass?

he works for knight these guys is making a video of the actual test thats there job as a driver instructor

HES NERVOUS BIG TIME!!

Did this dude pass??? I need to know.

You forgot the reverse lights?

akilez 777 forgot to put your name on it..lpl

you do not have to mention pitman arm, drag link, upper and lower steering arm ect?

I'm not understand im ready have my cdl if i go to knight i have to do all the test again ?

TE FALTO MEDIR EL NIVEL DE ACEITE DEL MOTOR E IDENTIFICAR EL MOTOR .

first time must take an hour

He failed in the first 5 seconds of the video you start top to bottom of the front of vehicle starting with the cab lights down

forgot pitman arm

Did he say checking u balls?

Before 60psi? His wording is awful during the brake leak down test and would constitute an automatic fail for the entire pre trip test...But hey, would you expect anything more from knight and their student training program

he said it isn't a belt driven lmao

NO CHEQUEASTE LA MANIVELA DEL SUBE Y BAJA

You know what, the further I watch this video, the more mistakes this guy makes, if he passes this pre trip test, then shame on his examiner for passing him

i think about 70 to 80 percent of the drivers out there ,don't have time to do all of the per trip, for different reason..

forget gear box, but is ok no body is perfect...

he failed for sure... he missed so much.

He failed that

Your out 3 weeks for $269 a WEEK cheap ass pay. Jobs a knightmare.

No big deal, the guy with the clipboard is trying to justify his meaningless job,
