    I have a CDL road test appt. next week in Georgia. My truck is deleted. Will this be a problem to show up and do a Pre-trip with a deleted truck?

    I don’t think the delete is going to be an issue unless there’s something really obvious that was done
    The bigger issue is making sure your truck is road worthy
    I know the DMV where I took my test required a dot inspection right before going to their location

    When I took mine there was a company that rented their trucks for the test
    They had several of them that they actually kept at the dmv just for that purpose and the officer knew they were inspected and safe to get in

    Thanks for that! It's just that the Ga. Cdl manual has a specific Pre-Trip point to: Check the Def tank and Def indicator light. I can't do either of those things. Maybe I just go get the DOT inspection done and proceed on, ignore those 2 points, and maybe it'll just be a penalty. I'm doing it at the Ga. DMV yard so there aren't any trucks.

    Just walk through it and say. I’d do this and I’d do that etc

    I’m surprised no one with more or better info hasn’t jumped in???
