Yeah that's why I havent been commenting as much as i regularly do. 10 hours of school of mostly standing around and waiting to be put behind a wheel.
Upgraded from being completely inept to moderate sucking in 3 days so it's not that bad. I do wonder how badly the pretrip inspection pretest (to see how badly we need to study) will go
Heres some good videos of the DOT pretrip videos. You'll be notified which pretrip test you'll get by the DOT officer on the day of your test. If I remember correctly it will be either exterior, interior, or full pretrip. This is chosen at random. I have given you videos of all 3 below.
What I did to remember it was wrote down every single thing I was gonna say if I got selected to do the full pretrip, which inevitably I did. I then got to the point where I could say the whole pretrip outloud like remembering the script (even if I wasnt infront of the truck) then when i was infront of the truck I just blurted out the script and pointed to what I remember.
Also for me on my pretrip I named extra stuff that I didnt exactly have to name out which is ok. They will not take a point away for naming something not required. I got a perfect score on my pretrip this way. When your trainer goes over the pretrip its a good idea to get a notepad and write it all down and memorize the script.
Im almost positive you dont know what pretrip test you have to do until the day of the test. It is done at random, even the DOT officer doesnt know its computer generated from his device. Unless its changed since 2017 you shouldnt know yet. They're teaching you the in-cab pre trip too right?
Idk I practiced backing up for about a cumulative hour and half this week. From that they made the decision for me drive on the highway next week. I assume I'll learn the inside of the cab when I drive.
Backing up is the hardest part by far. You are supposed to struggle with that part. Its very fuckin hard dude lol. Dont get discouraged.
One tip of advise on the road if you are in an intersection they will say turn wide when you go left or right at it. Your back wheel of your trailer can be used as a point of reference. Whenever that back wheel get parallel to whatever it could hit (curb or car) you can cut the steering wheel as sharp as you want and it will not hit it at that point. You just have to get that back wheel passed it. Its alittle different on sets of doubles but this same formula will also work there too. Doubles just turn easier and wont hit stuff as easy. You have to make sure ur back trailer wheel is passed it.
IIN ukrainian trannies are so narcissistic
