    I'm guessing they're all a little different.
    My school had the examiner make a list exactly the way he wants it.
    Otherwise, my teacher had a bunch more that he checks on his truck, but not required for the test.
    This video left out some stuff in the engine compartment that we require.
    No big deal. The biggest thing is to be checking all over. Then make sure you pass a DOT inspection when it happens.
    I have heard that if DOT wants to hassle you. It's easy for him to say a slack adjuster is out. Even if you climb under there with him. Show him. He'll say it was out a few minutes ago. ... Doh!
     
    RedRover Thanks this.
