the importance of electrical,engine,and troubleshooting?

hey guys thankyou for the info! ( and girl too, didnt forgetcha dear ) !

 

Oh I thought you were a hippy rocker dude. The pic is too tiny to tell and it's cut off before the wazombas would show. hey girl!

 

I'm wondering how much does the book actually help you for the amount of money you spend on it?

 

As far as I am aware the only type of electrical questions are on CDL Test are in the realms of the Pre Tip inspection and they are physical tests which involve checking the operation of Wipers, Horn, Brake lights, Vehicle lights and Signals Work etc.
There used to be a Book at TA regarding CDL which had about 400 questions and answers related to the all tests of CDL. I don't know if they still have it or the price. But you can go on line and study the AZ manual, If you have any problems you can e mail me pilgrim@minister.com and I will help you go through it. Its a long time since I did it but not much has changed.

As to the Avatar's ignore the Internet terrorists whose sole intention is to create discord and destroy anything good. If they posted their own Avatars they'd be waring a Shemogh and Alibaba slippers. Cause it could also be there just jealous because when their egg hatched they found they'd developed from the white not the yoke!!!

And at my age I won't post my pic, you'd think you were looking at a Rand McNally Road Atlas....

 

It's information that will benefit you later on. The more you know about the equipment the better you'll know how to keep it rolling and making you money. Some will say it's up to the company to fix items but those are the drivers you see in the shop where their truck is in for major repairs. If you learn to identify failing components then you save time in repairs. A good example is the turbo bearings leaking. When you see a small amount of oil seeping out of the turbo you'll know it's got to get fixed right away. If you wait then there's goes the turbo and an expensive repair that could have been avoided. If you treat the truck as your own and watch it carefully then it will take care of you in return.

 

Also I should say that reporting trouble to a mechanic over the phone is much easier when you can describe the problem that he or she knows. Saying the thinging is going thump thump thump is only going to cost you time and aggravation.

 

I don't disagree with you but the questions were related to passing the CDL written tests. Lets agree to help the guy get his license before we try and get him to rewire the truck....

 

Ok, so as people have already said, you do not need to know the engine and electrical for the cdl test, but it will be good to know in the long run. My personal advice is, dont over do it and try to know everything at once, just focus on the basics that you need for the test now and then after you get your cdl learn as much as you can about everything else.
