The Computer, I finally got the service pack 2 update installed and it seems to make the computer run faster than before. I am still having problems with the home wifi although it seems to be loading the web pages better.

Been in the yard since yesterday and WOW there is a lot of information there to learn I have the Air Brakes test down and the In Cab Inspection down, but I only have about half of the walk around inspection down so far but I have all day tomorrow to finish getting the last parts down so that I can hopefully test on both Monday and move onto my skills test and start getting drive time in to move forward and get ready for the driving test Friday.

Good luck everyone keep it in between the yellows.

Wow they sure run things differently in fontana, at west valley they test all of it together unless they changed it. I will have to ask 1Bad about that.

I will tell you a helpful tip. During test time touch everything as you are describing to the instructor what you are checking and work from top to bottom leaving nothing out. They will only give you a section of the truck and trailer during testing but end your test by saying " I would check the exact same components for the other side of the truck and trailer".

yeah they said to do that when you got to the back end i am having some trouble remembering all the exact names for each part in the bottom half of the stearing everything after the drag link is getting all mixed up in my head but i have the breaks and the engine parts down. and the differences between the axles and first runs retreads torq bar axle hubs (grease not oil) and all of that just having trouble with the last part of that drive area.
