    We have been give ABC=abrasions, bubbles,cuts (if there is fluid or air add leaks) and BLM=broken, loose or missing. ABC if its rubber and BLM if its metal...

    Now I need to ask - what is a treadle valve and what does it do?

    I think I have - but we will see after Monday - that is my airbreak test which will flow into the in cab inspection and the PTI... :biggrin_25526:

    If/when I pass I will then be able to MOVE the truck and not just 'gently rock it' when doing the parking break test...:biggrin_25525:

    Most excellent!! Let me know where 'your' thead is so I can keep up with your adventures :) I haven't had as much time to read and post like I want - but I want to drive MORE so I'm spending my 'spare' time studying... tonight though I am taking some ME time to let my head unmush - roommate is with 'her' trainer and I have the room to myself - probably only until tomorrow - so I'm taking advantage of it!! My music, LONG soak in the tub - using the motel shampoo as bubble bath - and sleeping in until 7!! (meeting other students for breakfast and more study before the Super Bowl Game)
