passed my roadtest last week, now the hard part - finding a job !

seeing how ive never had a trucking job before, i have obviously not had an interview for a trucking job during my training i was tought how to do a pretrip to pass the test for the ministry, which would be completely diff from what a real word pretrip would actually involve. ex. for the test i didnt have to check under the hood at all. my question for those who have had to go through various interview and road test for potential employers, is what the pretrip you would do for the interview involves, start to end.

at school for example, i was taught to hit the tires with a club to check the pressure, or more exact to make sure they were not flat i guess. i also had to check everything from vents to steps and say they were secure, is this also real world? for the ministry i had to check everything incab like gauges and low air alarms, horns and mirrors and such. is this all expected durning a job interview?

thanx for your time on this. brian.
