[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 741495, member: 18708"] no checklist, because it makes no difference. within the pretrip, the beginning step, is reviewing and signing off on the DVIR (vehicle report) stating that the vehicle is in proper order with no safety issues. this goes to the mechanic in the PM and they review the same and sign off. When you sign off the DVIR you awknowledge this. In some cases I have heard differences, such as some classes you never even operate a package car (larger classes). There simply is not enough time for all to do driver drills. If you are in a small class, expect to do some driving and be able to recite them verbatim on road. (including all 10 AND key phrases/meaning). I doubt the instructor would fail someone for not being able to perfectly recite all 10 key phrases, however for not knowing the 10 "main points" you're out. Also I have heard some classes using a vehicle but it is an automatic, which makes life a lot easier if you are not slick with the different types and feels of the fleets transmissions. driver drill is simply utilizing the 5s and 10s in your driving and actually speaking aloud exactly what you are doing and looking at. It basically shows you not only can ramble the knowledge verbatim, you utilize them. There's a point system the instructor will use by observing your seeing habits, use of mirrors, scanning, approaching intersections, in intersections, etc, and it's all on how you verbally convey what you are doing. Hard to explain, but hope that helps. Again you'll get a good feel for it once you are in class how to apply the knowledge, until then it's sort of a mystery. :) [/QUOTE]
