The time it took to post all of that, you could have read a manual and have your answers.

Another "gimme something for free." Guess actual work never crossed your mind?

^^^^ Soon to be driver, if you can't answer these without help, perhaps you should stay off the roads, until you can, and PLEASE don't hinder our jobs!! The placard one had me from "NOT hello." . .
Best wishes; maybe work a dock somewhere until you learn this?? Just wow. I have a headache now... in the wind.

To the op, these sound like pre-entry questions for school. I don't have a lot of time to help this morning and can't type up answers for you right now using this iPad thing but they are common sense questions and can be found the cdl manual you can get online.

I also assume you are in Canada, so maybe a fellow Canadian would be kind enough to help you out to answer questions we can't.

One thing I have to stress about answering questions is that it is sometime better to get wrong answers and seek out the right ones than to have the answers in the first place.

Please if you can update your profile to help us know where you are at.

Chewy352 · Nov 29, 2016

Quit being lazy. Read and study the manual. Then take the free quizzes on this site.

x1Heavy · Nov 29, 2016

Seriously? Ask the Internet to take a test for you?

You would learn nothing. And then become a steering wheel holder incapable of function when things go really wrong.

Im going to go away and laugh and laugh... seriously... study the material. BTW, it's "Found A Temp agency" not foundan... sheesh... what is our schools coming down to?

I hate to be raining on you here with that test, go study, learn it and master it. If it's too much then... don't continue trying to get into the trucking industry. You will get someone or yourself killed.

A new driver? Then the answers should be fresh in your mind.
