G-Town I totally understood what you said and please don't misunderstand me. I read everything you write and I admire you guys so much for your time on educating us. If I read it the way you said it then it is correct but the problem is, if we download this pdf in our cellphone or computer and see one page at a time then students are going to read it wrong. Probably I am thinking too much from a designers point of view and sorry about that. Thanks for reporting it.

Look at the top of page 16 which is directly underneath the photo you described on page 15.

I wasn't trying to criticize or anything. I was just giving an example. I am still learning and not sure which one is correct. Please see this picture. It says power steering pump but my trainer is saying that it is a steering gear box.

I know what it says. Your trainer is correct.

Please look at the very top of page 16, the description matches the photo. Also reread my second paragraph.

But this is a mistake though. If someone can correct that it will help other students too. That is not a page break and if you look at the entire design layout you will understand. Every page has a title and directly under that is the image. That is how this pdf is designed. Mistake can happen and I worked in print industry for last 18 years. If my trainer is correct then what we have in the pdf is a mistake.

Hi Solo ,

You are right. There are so many videos and study materials out there it is so confusing. I was studying Trucking truth Pre-trip pdf file all this time and there is a mistake in page 15. For gear driven power steering pump they have a photo of steering gear box and hoses. So any time my trainer asks me I keep on pointing to the wrong item.

I wish companies just train their students only pre-trip, in cab break check, basic driving skill for 1st 3 weeks, so you can just pass the test.

I started reading your diary from day 1 and keep up the good work.

The best Prime specific one is on the Prime app by one of the instructors, but you cant access it till you have employee code, seems a bit silly to me not to have it available for those studying for it

Interesting. Let me ask my driver trainer whether he can show me that.

I think this is the best pre-trip YouTube video for prime students. https://youtu.be/-m-FVna1r3c

Didn't realize this is the same Michael S who is writing "Let the process begins". I am following yours and Britton's Diaries. Congratulations for that awesome Trifecta.

Thanks Michael for the info.

On Daniel's Pre-Trip inspection guide it says that "The difference between a Hanger and a Mount is that Hangers are much, much smaller. I could go technical but don't over complicate this. The Hangers are in the front, Mounts in the back...."

I was studying like that all this time and now I am in Prime training programme and they are saying that the one in the front is the spring mount. So I am confused now. So which is correct?

Imagine being the trainer with newbie at the helm lol

I have so much respect for you guys. I can't even imagine me doing that. I taught my girl friend and couple of other friends how to drive a car in our local parking lot and I was so scared. Becuase I was scared, I was yelling at them all the time.
