    Before taking classes, I was/am a school bus driver, so I have done a lot of pre-trips involving the outside of a vehicle. Repetition of the front involving checking for leaning and tires and such aren't new to me. The ones that I'm trying to learn specifically are the ones that are found on trucks such as the inside of an engine, the fifth wheel, and the coupling hoses. But you are right, repetition is key.

    Very true. My old truck (94 ford lts 9000 with 40k rears and 18k front) you fell every bump, hit a large bump might hurt your back and hit the roof. Even on smooth roads the truck may start to bounce making it fell like you have a pair of boobs. When I was loaded it was not to bad. Every day this is what my truck felt like
    My new truck (07 sterling 46k rear and 20k front) it is pretty smooth for all leaf spring but I do have shocks all around instead of just the front and cab air bags.
