Matt: Yes you pull slowly forward first to test your service brakes.
Also the difference between applied amd static testing. . If required in your state, you do static first. Basically you are,sitting watching the guages for 1 minute. Applied means just that.. the service brake is APPLIED.
ok thank your for the clarification!

I'm actually vary familiar with this test I'm currently a technician and have to perform it on preventative maintenance inspections. However I have never pulled the truck forward first. Always after I check the breaks. Should I do this first when I go for the test? With the instructor in the truck?
