I’m going to take my skills test Monday in Houston. Any other Texas Class B drivers out there to give me an idea of what I am to expect Monday morning? As far as the pre trip process mostly? I’ve been watching pre trip videos on YouTube and different states have you do different things. Was just wondering if anyone could narrow down what Monday morning is going to look like? Thank you all in advance. Sorry about replying to an old post earlier. Wasn’t sure how to post a new one nor did I realize the date that one was posted!

When I did my pre trip test which I took in Indiana you start on the passenger side of tractor at the turbo and go around the entire truck. I also remember when going over the drive tires I had to say minimun 3/4 thickness and virgin tires no retreads. I basically had to go over every single part. A kid I was in school with who tested in Kentucky started at the turbo and was able to stop at the drivers door and that completed his pre trip. So each state is different. I was a ball of nerves but once into it the inspector testing me helped ease my fear by cracking a couple of jokes which really helped my nerves go away. Best of luck to you. If you don’t pass first time around don’t worry take it again. It was a life changing opportunity for me, one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My husband and I were team drivers for 3 1/2 years we saved our money and now we are independent operators. We are a one truck operation but doing very well for ourselves. Thankfully we got in just under the truck prices skyrocketing.
