Profile For David A.

Hi Everyone Got an update for ya as bad as the school seemed I have managed to get my class A. Test was a little shaky but passed nonetheless ( I had to fix the Trailer brake lights before my examiner failed the truck) i had re written their school handout for the pretrip and brake test so it was in a format that anyone could understand. i had been applying to various companies and got invited to orientation From Knight Transportation and I leave for Reno on the 3rd of november. thanks for having this sight i think it helped me a lot

Well a few weeks into school not any more impressed. Instructors come and go fast was only in a week and one quit and one never showed up. I am making the best out of it and and us students are helping the new students as much as we can i help with the pre trip and brake inspection and even re wrote the instruction guide for pre trip. (theirs was all over the place and not in order that you would inspect). equipment keeps breaking down on the yard but the road and test truck seems fine( hard to get into third may be just me) still need work on down shifting and my backing skills needs some work but i havent hit to many things on road so i guess its ok. I would advise people checking on schools to look at their equipment and try to talk to students before signing any papers. but if you have ended up in a not so good place study hard and take it on yourself to learn your skills to pass the test. im thinking ill be testing around the 11th or so and the videos on here are very helpful, thanks guys for the advice everyone and the instructional posts keep it up.

No its a Private school in California

Hi everyone My name is Dave I am In cali going to school started today for the walk around inspection class. Got a little nervous when I started the class at the condition of the supplied equipment. the first thing i noticed is that the passenger side hub was leaking oil and the trailer e brake was disabled the red knob did not work and that the trailer e brake would not work.. the instructor said when performing the trailer brake e brake test just pretend to do it and explain to the examiner the test procedure and everything would be fine. Just asking for your thoughts on this matter. thanks in advance Dave.
