Profile For Thomas C.

I just want to say, the high road training program is great. Prepped me for the combination vehicle test perfectly. However, the other test required to get a permit and go to a trucking school in Texas is not covered in THR. You absolutely without a doubt will want to spend extra time studying section 14 of Texas CDL book. Some example questions I got:

What year model where vehicles required to have electric turn signals?

What capacity must the fire extinguisher be?

What distance must you place your hazard LAMPS when parked on a two direction undivided highway, with an obstructed view? Lamps not the same as flags or reflectors.

What is the minimum height reflectors must be placed at the rear of the trailer?

What is the maximum height of a vehicle including its load? Not 13'6", 14' in Tx.

This is an unnecessarily hard test just to get a permit and go to school. It is specific to Texas and you should not do what I did and think that because you took THR course you can pass this test. I was completely and utterly lost and guessing on 75% of the questions. I hate to disagree with respected members of the community here, but if you don't believe me, just do the test your knowledge at the end of section 14 before you decide not to read it.

Not sure where to post this, but I was just on the air brake exam on the training course and I answered correctly and it said it was incorrect, then showed me the quote from the manual and I answered correctly... Have a screen shot...
