    I'm curious how you're supposed to do an air brake test with an auto trans? Do you have to chock the wheels and leave the truck in neutral before turning off the engine and starting the brake test? I only ever tested with a manual trans and I'm trying to train up a new kid at work before he tests with the state. Thanks.

    Ok, cool. At what part is it ok to take the chocks out? I guess when you're walking around doing pre-trip?
