    They quite literally give you pamphlets for everything. They spell out every step of every thing. You are allowed to use them anytime. I recommend using them anytime a Schneider trainer is around. I mean, all the time always.. Duh. Misspoke there for a moment

    No. You just basically point to the tires and say the ABC thing (basically letting then know you know what you're looking for. Also they may throw you for a quiz here and there about how much air pressure as you're doing your test. Very basic. They allow you to hold the paperwork and you can refer back to it at any time. My instructor tried to throw me for a loop every once in a while asking about parts not on the list but you'll be fine. I think he was just messing with me trying to trip me up. In a friendly way. There was one thing I didn't know and he explained it to me. No worries.

    you should long form anyway. so many expenses on the road you can write off.

    keep your receipts.
