Failed road test cuz I failed brake test

Using the link below assuming Wisconsin. You will find the format under 5.3.3 on page 5.5:

I have always viewed it as 4-60-40

Air leakage rate not more than 4psi in 1 minute
Low air warning activates at 60psi
Spring brakes activate below 40psi

 

Wow, I'm amazed a company made you go that far in a road test. I'm also kind of surprised you haven't done a brake test in that long. I always do one when I get in a truck I haven't driven before. But I cheat, I just let the emergency line hang loose, and push the valves in and watch for when the warnings start and when the valve pops out. Then fan until the other valve pops out. I think the test is in the CDL test manual. If not, I'm sure there are videos on youtube. Just check the sources. Good thing they're giving you another chance.

 

They gave you a second chance, that means you're not washed out.

Read the CDL manual

Try my road test, it includes a lot more than just a air alarm test.

 

If I wanted to work where you work, I'd pass your test. I said what I said, because in my experience, companies don't do all of that. Some don't even road test at all. At some point, a driver's experience and record should speak for itself. I resent being tested for some things, to some degree. I used to work at OD, my road test consisted of hooking to a pup, and driving around the block. It took five minutes, no pre-trip at all. I didn't even drop the pup when we got back.

 

Maybe you didnt read Ridgeline's post correctly. He owns his own company. And when he gives roadtests he gets to decide what gets tested and who fails and who passes.

To the op, they gave you another chance thats great! You'll get it next time no problem. Ive heard good things about OD you'll like it there.

 

You will demonstrate that test anytime you have a Level 1.

I can offer you my clip board professional driver.

 

No, I did read his post correctly. Now, maybe what I inferred from his post, isn't what he meant. You apparently have some familiarity with that member, which I do not. He quoted my post, and made a statement that sounded pretty smug and arrogant, and I might find my skills to be inadequate for his most superior road test in all of trucking. Possibly it was him, that failed to comprehend the context of my post.

 

Takes one to know one i guess. I didnt read anything smug or arrogant in his post he merely stated that his road test is even more through. Dont like it? Dont apply there.

 

I imagine because, it wasn't directed at you. Don't like something that got said that didn't involve you? Ignore it.
