Class B CDL (pre trip questions)

[Utsu]

I am about to take my driving test for a class B CDL (straight truck). I think I got everything down, but if anyone has pointers (especially with the pre-trip), please share them. If you know a site that shows a pre-trip checklist, please list it. Any and all help is greatly appreciated it!

i had to get my class A CDL with airbrakes and i was taught to just make sure you do every step in order even if you said the same thing for another part of the truck. When i did mine the guy actually cut me off and went directly to the in-cab portion because i was sounding like a robot i guess. Youll pass as long as you have studied a little.

I have a Class A and drove for about 5 years. I dont drive anymore but I keep my license just incase I need to help a friend out or something. Anyway the pretrip is the hardest part of the driving test. Atleast it was for me, just because of all the stuff you have to remember. You only have to get a certain percentage to pass the test. I think it is around 90% and back when I took it there were about check items on the list. Number may be a little off because it was a good while back. Anyway. I found this site for you. It may give you an outline of the things you need to check. I thought that the needed information was in your state's manual. Hope this helps.
