Missouri Pretrip Inspection - Driving Portion Test Points

Follow John's sheet and you'll be fine like dozens of students who have gone before you. She will check things off as you mention them. But be sure you have the air brake check perfect. A mistake there will fail you no matter how well you do on the rest of it. Finally, allow for nervousness. When you think you've got it, keep practicing. You don't have to nail every item but you'll be surprised how much you're going to leave out while she's standing there with her clipboard.

 

Just a few things I noticed right off the bat.

Brake hoses and brake chambers, they have you saying they aren't leaking. During your walk around it is impossible to tell if they are leaking. They are not pressurized. Its impossible to spot a leak visually either, you cant see air.

Leaks are found during your in-cab during the applied pressure test...thats why you do a supplied test.

They also dont have you doing a static test, 3 psi for a combo vehicle brakes not applied.

There were a couple others as well....but if your school is aying that will pass you stick with it. What school did you chosse to go with if you dont mind me asking?

 

I am going to go to witte on december 19th is it a good school
