I do apologize for not catching on as quickly as the masses, however, my question is the same as the above subject header.I am studing the Ga CDL manual and in the manual I'm up to (section 5: Air brakes) Section 5.1 The Parts of an Air Brake System. Listed Air compressor -Air compressor governor -Air storage tank -Air tank drains - Alcohol evaporator -Safety valve -The brake pedal -Foundation brakes. Now do I need to go further down to 5.1.16 Antilock Braking System and stop to complete the list of parts of an air brake system? Or stop at Foundation brakes? Please help I'm making flash cards to help me remember. Truely apologize for being ignoring.

  • Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.

Yeah, I think every section starting with 5.1 is meant to be under the Parts the Air Brake System section. Whether or not anyone will ever expect you to list them all based on those sections, I don't know.

HOS:

Hours Of Service

HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.

Have you taken a look at the high road training program yet? It'll really help you learn the stuff you need to know and even tells you things you actually NEED to know vs things that are just good piece of info for bed time reading.

after the HRT yo can go through your states cdl handbook and make sure thee was nothing GA specific that HRT missed.

@ Phox__ and Kurt G. Yes I'm also studying from High Road Training Program and it was advised that I know the basic concept for the written exam also I should know the different parts for the PTI exam. That's why I am making flash cards to help me remember as well as learn it with ease.
