Which of the following is true about brake adjustment?
All of these are correct
Brake fade is affected by the adjustment of the brakes

To safely control a vehicle, every brake must do its share of the work
Brake fade is also affected by the adjustment. To safely control a vehicle, every brake must do its share of the work. Brakes out of adjustment will stop doing their share before those that are in adjustment. The other brakes can then overheat and fade, and there will not be enough braking available to control the vehicle. Brakes can get out of adjustment quickly, especially when they are used a lot; brake linings wear faster when they are hot. Therefore, brake adjustment must be checked frequently.

Example: If your “safe” speed is 40 mph, you should apply the brakes once your vehicle speed reaches 40 mph. Your brakes should be applied hard enough to reduce your speed to 35 mph. Once your vehicle speed reaches 35 mph, release the brakes. Repeat this procedure as often as necessary until you have reached the end of the downgrade. This braking technique is called “snubbing.”

When students have gotten off the bus and reach the edge of the roadway to cross the street, which of the following is NOT the correct procedure for them to follow?

The two main hole spacings you'll find are 4 inches and 6 inches. You can estimate that you will move 250 pounds per hole for 4 inch spacing, and 400 pounds per hole for 6 inch spacing.
There will be some variance here, but generally speaking these are very good estimates and they work very well. You'll learn to recognize the spacing by glancing at them eventually, but in the beginning you might want to measure quick so you know how far to slide the tandems.

Tips For Passing the Commercial Driver's License (CDL) Permit Test
Practice Makes Perfect: The best way to both mentally and physically prepare for the written exam is to take practice tests. Start out with open-book tests and gradually work your way up to giving yourself a time limit. Finally, before the big day, take a practice exam as if it were the real thing without any help. This will give you a good indication of how well you understand the material.
Understand Instead of Memorize: Memorizing information can be helpful for the written exam, but the key to being fully prepared is to understand the material rather than just memorizing it. Understanding the material will allow you to answer questions correctly no matter how they are worded.
Real World Applications: When struggling to understand concepts, create real-world scenarios to make the information more relevant to your life. Doing this will make it easier to remember come test time.
Utilize Study Strategies: Utilizing study strategies such as flashcards, songs, rhymes, and phrases can help you remember the material.
Be Fresh and Alert: The night before the exam, get a good night's sleep and eat a filling breakfast on the morning of the exam. This will ensure you are fresh and alert to take your exam.
Begin Early and Space out Your Studying: It is important to give yourself ample time before the exam to get familiar with the material and get your mind ready for the big day. Consider taking a training course online or in-person, if it's required. Shop around for a course that works best for you.
By following these tips, you will be well prepared for your written CDL exam and on your way to a successful career.
