All of the following are requirements for transporting coils with eyes crosswise except:

• These are all requirements
• Prevent the coil from rolling
• Attach one tiedown rearward
• Attach one tiedown forward

There are three requirements for coils transported with eyes crosswise:

Prevent the coil from rolling

Attach one tiedown forward.

Attach one tiedown rearward.

Which of the following is the driver's responsibility regarding cargo loading?

• Recognizing overloads and poorly balanced weight
• Knowing your cargo is properly secured and does not obscure your view ahead or to the sides.
• All of these are the driver's responsibility
• Inspecting cargo

Describe controlled braking:

• None of these are correct
• Apply the brakes as hard as you can so that the wheels lock. Keep the wheels locked and the steering wheel movements very small while doing this. If you need to make a larger steering adjustment, release the brakes. Re-apply the brakes as soon as you can.
• Turn the wheel while applying the brakes hard enough to lock the drive tires. The drive tires locking will produce more grip on the roadway, giving you more braking force and more control.
• Apply the brakes as hard as you can without locking the wheels. Keep steering wheel movements very small while doing this. If you need to make a larger steering adjustment or if the wheels lock, release the brakes. Re-apply the brakes as soon as you can.

What factor has the greatest affect on how much weight is moved per hole in the tandem slider rail?

• The center of gravity of the cargo
• The distance between the locking pin holes
• The distance from the drive axles to the trailer tandems
• The amount of fuel you have onboard

What is the safest speed to drive in heavy traffic?

• The safest speed is slightly faster than the vehicles around you
• The safest speed is that of other vehicles.
• The safest speed is slightly slower than the vehicles around you
• The safest speed is the speed of the vehicles in the lane furthest to the right

For the split sleeper berth rule, which of the following is NOT true?

• You must log the longer of the two breaks as off duty
• You may divide your 10-hour break into two separate breaks. One break has to be at least 2 hours long.
• You can use any combination of off-duty and sleeper berth time for the shorter of the two breaks
• One break must be a minimum of 7 hours long

In an air brake system, the low air pressure warning signal:

• Is required on vehicles with air brakes. A warning signal you can see must come on before the air pressure in the tanks falls below 200 psi (or one-half the compressor governor cutout pressure on older vehicles)
• Is required on vehicles with air brakes. A warning signal you can see must come on before the air pressure in the tanks falls below 60 psi (or one-half the compressor governor cutout pressure on older vehicles)
• None of these are true
• Is optional on vehicles with air brakes. A warning signal you can see must come on before the air pressure in the tanks falls below 60 psi (or one-half the compressor governor cutout pressure on older vehicles)

When securing paper rolls with eyes crosswise, which of the following can be used to prevent side-to-side shifting when there is more than 8 inches of space to the wall?

• Any of these methods are acceptable.
• Friction mats.
• Tiedowns.
• Void fillers.

What is the minimum securement requirement for paper rolls with eyes vertical with a width between 1.25 and 1.76 its diameter?

• All of these are required.
• Banding them together.
• Friction mats alone.
• Tiedowns.

If you make a quick lane change, what can happen?

• The cargo's center of gravity can raise as much as 22%
• The steering knuckle can buckle under the pressure
• All these are correct
• The "crack-the-whip" effect can turn the trailer over
