[QUOTE="Rick Ross, post: 2845386, member: 51847"] I think about 2-3 years ago a bunch of states standardized the CDL testing. From what others told me our states test became much more difficult to pass and most of it was because of the pretrip. Some would also say the parallel parking was tougher but I thought that was actually easier than the dock back it replaced. When I tested the examiner told me that so many people were failing the air brake portion of the test that they actually made that the first thing they tested so they could do more tests per day. I was the only person out of 7 being tested who actually made it out of the pretrip. There are videos online that will give you an idea of what you will be doing. Its up to you to plug the info your state uses into the script and learn the components you are talking about. There are things that fedx mentioned above that differ from my state and I'm sure there are things I had to do/say that would be incorrect in his state. The person testing also is a big deal...my guy said don't mention it if I'm not using it (pintle hook for example) but others I know had to mention it was probably mounted and secure. [/QUOTE]
