CA DMV Applied Brakes Test

i always heard that about A-1...... But I personally know a couple guys that went through there that now work for Sysco, and Pepsi .... So I think you'll be ok........

Are the test at DMV still written test or are they computerized now?

 

you STILL have a leg up: because you actually have your CDL......... FYI: I know "the city" very well. First day I ever drove a tractor trailer was right off the fremont st exit on a friday at about 5pm.... my buddy/co worker got off the bridge, pulled over, pulled the air, and said "if you can drive here right now- you can drive anywhere"...........

Anyway don't trip, you're gonna be fine, just talk to your trainer, and tell him what has you nervous: he either helps you, or you'll know right away you're on your own. From what i've read on here about prime, i think you'll be ok.

good luck, and keep us posted if you can

 

Congrats good to hear you passed your test. I'll agree with condocruiser as well putting the truck in gear isn't the best option. I do it because its less work than getting out and chocking the wheels. But I have tried to start my truck when in a hurry with it sitting in gear.

Some trucks have an interlock so the starter won't engage unless the truck is in neutral, mine does not and I don't push the clutch in when I start my truck. The cuss words will start flying when you do that and getting it back out of gear is not a fun task after that happens. So I'd recommend picking up a chock block or making your own.

I understand what you mean I my pickups a manual and I was used to putting my foot on the brake now I forget to put my foot on the brake in my pickup lol...also forget its got a stupid clutch interlock too.

 

Hi, were you tested on all the sections? In Ca DMV handbooks, were you tested on sections 7, 8, and 9?

 

Dam n! A-1 has buses there also? lol

I took the passenger endorsement too, but the dmv lady that was correcting all my test said she couldnt give it to me because I "didn't bring a bus" with me! lol
