Class-A One Ton Pre Trip ?'s

Catwalk should be about it.

 

Your vehicle has hydraulic brakes instead of air brakes. That is the biggest difference.

 

The in Cab pre trip test for the service brakes is to push on the pedal to make sure it doesn't go to the floor and remains firm. You are going to have to know the location and operation of the brake away battery, the function of the brake away pin and that it is secure to the truck. If you have chains they will need to call out that they are secured. Call out that the locking pin from your goose neck to the on the Ball in your truck is in the locked position.

 

This will also be a restriction on the license. If you ever want to go drive a semi you will need to fully retest again with a vehicle with air brakes. I suggest seeing what it will take to rent one (from a local cdl school) and do it fully the first time.

 

How was the test?
I'm doing mine in my 2017 f-350 dually with a 40ft gooseneck, any tips on the brakes system front and back, suspension front and back,

 

Any tips, doing mine in a 2017 f350 dually and gooaeneck

 

Rent a full truck and trailer from a CDL school and get the fulkl class A without restrictions.
With that truck and trailer, you wil have two restrictions that will make it almost impossible to use that license for another job.
1. No air brakes.
2. No 5th wheel.
The sad thing is, from a quick search, it looks like a 40 ft gooseneck will be more than 10.000 gvwr. You'll be going for a full class A in that case, so might as well do it without restrictions.
