[QUOTE="thumper650, post: 4230339, member: 78287"] Just took a road test last week. Hit what you can remember on the pre trip. My understanding is it’s more of an evaluation, to see if you do things safely. They will train you in their way. Some things that stood out to me: Check the 60psi beeper and brake pop out. They leave trailer brakes released when parked, which I think is nuts. They use the trailer hand brake on the dash when stopped at a light. He mentioned I don’t use the clutch much. They want you to use it. They Honk at pedestrians walking along the road, if they don’t see you Leave enough space to get around the car in front of you when stopped. Be careful climbing in/out of the cab. (Face the cab) Seatbelt on whenever you’re in the cab, even when uncoupling. Always take the key when not in the cab. The trainer was very nice, explained they’re looking for people who are comfortable driving, safe, and trainable. [/QUOTE]
