you won't get air brakes and if the combined GVWR is not 33,001 or more it won't qualify

For the OP, the walk around is the same as any other truck, you just will have a few less items to check, they may ask you to do a hydraulic brake leakdown test which is basically holding your foot on the brake and feeling for loss of pressure. They also will have you pull your breakaway pin and pull against the trailer to test the trailer emergency brakes, other than that it will be all the same as any other class a exam.Last edited: Feb 15, 2015

They will tell you if they want the hood opened or not. Some states have stopped doing this for liability reasons and just ask you to describe what and how you would inspect under the hood, your examiner will tell you what they expect.

Been a year or so since I took anyone down to the DMV for their CDL driving test, but here in California they expect you to mention all the components that are on semi trucks. Just like the book shows it. It's stupid. Hopefully Illinoise won't expect you to do that but just incase be ready for it.
Good Luck on your test. -
& thank I need all the luck I can get
