This is the process I used for the pre-inspection/walk around to pass my commercial drivers liscense. I am NOT an instructor and any information given MUST be confirmed by your handbook. Hope this helps!

You know if you don't test the airbrakes, you automatic ally fail the test right? You forgot that

It varies state to state especially in Arizona.

Thank you Jason. Best pre trip video on YouTube

you forgot to look for any hanging loose wires or puddles underneath the truck indicating a severe mechanical leak.

This is sooo helpful!! I noticed that you didn't remove your key though, isn't that necessary on the pre-trip inspection??
Thanks for taking the time to post this video!! I hope to take my pre-test within the next month or so.. I'm doing it the hard way without the classes. -

The laws have change in Illinois if you take your driving test in a Automatic you will not be allowed to drive a stick.And now you need to show your birth certificate.

good advice/vid!

don't need to put blocks on wheels... but that will depend on state I guess, but Az. it wasn't needed to be added. Check for road flares, markers, fire extinguisher. As long as brakes are secure then blocks not needed

Every town you're in it's a different way of doing it you should know where you're going. 1 Centre want you to do it this way and another center wants you do it a little differently

a consistent pre and post trip will save you and your truck many headaches if done religiously...good videos Jason D...strive for a good running vehicle...saves the driver time and money...

I just wanted to share that this is a very informative and detailed video. I drive a 1 ton dually with an enclosed gooseneck single car trailer. This set of videos is what I studied and literally copied to a degree, the "speech" if you will that Jason Davis here is explaining. The one thing that I will add, is the actual importance of trying to keep the inspection broken down into sections as he does, and the reason that something like this I feel is so important, is that, if you do not attack this "systematically" it could actually end up costing you points for things that it is possible that you did actually state or point out, but because of jumping from one section to another, the examiner somehow missed it. The reason that I am pointing this out, is because, the way that the actual test scoring sheet is "laid out" and it is laid out in "sections" as well, and that is why it is important to follow this, form of going from one section to another. I failed my first pretrip. 54 out of 61, as I did not attend any kind of formal training, all I did, was study this, and read any part of the handbook, that I had any questions on. The second time I attempted to take the test I passed, 69 out of 67 and the instructor stopped me before we could begin the in cab, due to the fact that I had already passed. I contribute that to studying this video series. I would also recommend using some common sense, in the sense that even if the truck you are driving does not have some of the same components as a Tractor, and it is important to state that if the vehicle did possess this item, this is where it would be, and this is where I would go ahead and check it as well. For example, I do not have a catwalk, or steps, however the second time I took the test, I just mentioned that I do not have an actual catwalk, or steps, but this is the "area" where the catwalk would be, as well as steps, and just double check that the bed is secure and free from any damage, and instead of my steps I showed that I checked my side step bars as if they were the steps. Little things like that, is why I failed the first time, and taking the initiative on the second attempt to basically go over everything that i am supposed to for my vehicle regardless if it has the item. Another example is the pintle, my vehicle does not have one, but on the test score sheet, there is a section, designated to the "coupling system" and one of the items is Pintle. I did not mention it on the first test attempt, but on the second one, I just mentioned once again, that I do not possess, a pintle, but if i did, this is the point at which I would check it for any cracks, bends, breaks or damage. Basically just need to make sure you cover everything regardless if your truck possesses it or not. I really wanted to thank you Jason again as this is really a great video for people that maybe are in my position.
