    Can the op maybe post how detailed the pretrip is? We sorta do one at school, but not everything under the hood everyday.
    and the driving test. We just practice straight backing and // parking, just not 45°, that should be like half parallel parking, yes? no?
    Thanks

    I have straight backing, parallel, docking, and off set docking experience, but no 45. I will do the pre-trip the same as I did for DMV, as well as the air brakes test. Just remember (G)et (O)ut (A)nd (L)ook.

    No, one of May Trucking's qualifications is that you have to smoke at least three packs a day.
