Review your CDL drivers manual for your state. The psi for the pop out has changed under the new modernization test.

Thank you for viewing and congratulations 🎉🍾 to you

Schneider trucking company lost a lawsuit for 47 million! CDL trucking Schools are not responsible for or are preparing students to hopefully succeed on the job.

Hamburger😂. Most of the time, I ate what was in my lunch box or food from home.

Should take you 10 times to master this skill. Check out all my videos on this skill - to help you learn and understand the concept. Make sure your mirrors and Driver seat is properly adjusted for you. Hopefully your CDL instructor is giving you proper training.

Glad it helped!

May you be successful during your CDL test. You can do this!

Not a bad job.

👍 that can be helpful.

Old news years ago but the FMCSA changed the rules to what we have now. In November 2024, back to way back when. I bet in time the rules will once again be changed.

Marijuana is not legal nation wide

@@davidhouse6363 you're right, but it is legal in 24 states and D.C.

Just gotta work for the right place or be an owner operator.

​@@thesig301 Whats the right place? Most I ever made over the road as a solo company driver was 92k. Granted, I take a lot of time off but 92k is shit when you factor in the time away from your family, your health, the hours you work and all the shit regulations like this one.

@@Pilotend370 since when is $90k bad? Maybe if you live in a very high cost of living area like California then yes. If not, $90k is more than most people make, even more than most college graduates. I know UPS pays like $44/hr, free benefits and pension. Not even my engineer friends are making $90k…. Also how is this a bad regulation 😂 why should drug addicts be allowed to drive CDL? However they should take weed off the drug list.

@@thesig301 I have so many things to say but lets just start with the obvious. I work 70 hours consistantly between monday-saturday not counting the bullshit work i do off duty. A company over the road driver that makes 90k/year breaks down to roughly $23.50/hour if you factored in overtime after 40 hours like every other job over a period of say 44 weeks. So yeah, there is a serious pay issue for veteran drivers. It's obviously not about safety because if it was drivers would be paid a fair hourly wage. But, the industry would rather bring kids or flip flop wearing rookies into the industry to pay less money. The OO'S are the ones really suffering right now. Accidents will continue to increase because companies would rather not pay experienced drivers and rely on technology.

@@thesig301 Also. If FMCSA forces a speed limiter mandate when they get around to the final ruling I gurantee there will be a lot more of us leaving for good.

The 28 ‘ Trailer reacts faster ( more quicker) the 48 or 53’ trailer reacts slower

The concept is the same. Just learn to react to the movement of the trailer. To me, it’s easier than a 48 0r 53’ Trailer

Congratulations 🎉🎊🍾

@@truckerstevecdlinstructor thank you..next will be all my endorsements, Hazmat, doubles, and tanker.. thanks for your videos they are extremely helpful..

A BIG HI to you.

Today is the June 9, TH. - You will not be in a Tractor Trailer until your test date (June 19, Th.) . Yes, you may be pushing the clutch in to far or your timing is OFF. The FMCSA states that if a student is not Proficient in all SKILLS, the CDL School should not set that student up for testing. How many Hours of ROAD Training did you receive? Are you proficient in all RANGE SKILLS? Before your CDL Test, go to the FMCSA Web Site and print out your Records that your CDL School submitted to the FMCSA. Is the report correct? Don't want to upset you, but many CDL Students don't stand up to their CDL Schools. Your CDL Instructor should get you on track with your downshifting. You need more road time. Hopefully you will figure it out.

@@truckerstevecdlinstructor not upsetting at all. We’re allotted 10 hrs of road time, I go on their weekend classes cuz of work. I called them and left a message about getting more road time before my test and I’m going to call again tomorrow if they don’t respond by then. All of my instructors have told me “there’s no reason you shouldn’t pass your test” but I feel like I should be getting my downshifts perfectly like I do my upshifting before my test. I have my pretrip and Air Loss down and all of my backing is perfect. The only thing that gives me trouble every now and then is my downshifting. We do all of our road time with a tractor trailer. Dont get me wrong I can downshift but I don’t get it every single time (so maybe I can’t downshift) thank you for your feedback I will continue to be in touch with my school. Probably half of the class is still struggling with their maneuvers so I’m sure they’re having a hard time on the road as well. I’m probably one of the better student on the road. Just want to be totally confident going into that test

You are on duty not driving unless during this period, you are not responsible for the tractor trailer being loaded. If you have to be available to the shipper during this period, you are on duty. If not, let the shipper know that you will be taking a break for a period of time.

Alcohol is legal. You can drink as much as you want as long as you are sober when on duty.

Now you will be offended a treatment program but your license will not be suspended. In November, your license will be suspended. The driver will have to go through the process of getting the license back.

​@@truckerstevecdlinstructor that low key crazy yet i can drink off duty at home 😂

@@rigobertoespinoza1685 talking hard drugs. Going to work drunk, will most likely get you fired.

@@truckerstevecdlinstructor of course 100% showing up drunk is a no no im on your side. Im just saying is THC considered a hard drug.

@@rigobertoespinoza1685I could probably Google it, but do they have a way to measure the amount in your system like alcohol? As more states legalize it, I’m sure there will become a way to test and everything will be based off of that. Although I may be wrong and I don’t do anything anymore and only drive a few months a year on a part time schedule to help my old boss.

Only can Tint so much on a car. Just that when you going after a trucking job most companies will want to review your driving history. Are you a safe driver or a driver with a Lots of Points.

Get a ticket in your car - you have a CDL license. That is on your CDL Driving history. Yes, it’s does effect or may have an effect on getting a CDL job

Just like a .04 is considered illegally intoxicated in a POV and affects your CDL.

If you go over 15 mph the speed limit on a work road or a school zone in your personal vehicle you WILL get your license suspended. So yes, personal vehicle DOES affect work.

Have over 20 videos with the new range skills - getting the trailer into the box. Short and long videos.

Thank you 🙏 for your kind words. The Old Man 👴 does the best he can.

@@truckerstevecdlinstructor I'm going for my Class 1 AZ license next month, I started "pre looking" for trucking jobs in Canada, everything requires me to have 2-4 years experience, how do I find a job trucking when they won't get new guys a chance? Should I truck in the states for awhile?

@@seanbriggs3386 food delivery; UPS - package delivery then to UPS Tractor Trailer ( they will retrain you) Look for a job that fits your needs. Hopefully 🤞 you will find a job.

@@seanbriggs3386 your CDL school may or should be of help with finding a job. If the travel time to the US will not be costing you too much money, Yes.

Congratulations 🎉🍾🎈

Congratulations 🎉❤

Thank you for your comment.

BIG Congratulations to you! 🍾🎉

Glad it was helpful!

If you are on flat ground - vehicle is not moving - clutch is in - foot on the brake - come gently off the clutch until you feel a slight pull - that is the spot where if you come off the brake the vehicle will move. Hold that spot and slowly release the brake and slowly release the clutch. This should be practice on the range - clutch control - I teach this on the first day when a student gets into the tractor. Ask your instructor to teach you clutch control- moving the tractor forward and backwards

@@truckerstevecdlinstructor what ive been doing is using the clutch alone, no brakes until i need to come to a full stop. do i just need to let off of the clutch entirely and then use clutch+brake when i need to slow down?

@@bennywenny_ If you are on flat ground and the tractor is not moving and will not move with your foot off the brake - then yes keep your foot off the brake and use the clutch to move forward or backwards. As you come slowly off the brake and the tractor trailer is moving - it’s roll - roll and gently off the clutch. Or as soon as it’s moving- gently off the clutch in 2 seconds Your instructor needs to teach you how to do this.

Before you go to get tested, have a print out of all Meds. Make sure the tester records what you received at the hospital and what you normally take.

@truckerstevecdlinstructor thank you, that's what I always do

Will I get tested before I even take the driving test I have my permit and have been training I stopped smoking weed already I should be clean by the time I can get hired once I get my license Is that the only time I’d be tested is once I’m hired somewhere?

@@slabman2997 CDL school should send you for a drug test and who ever hire you will also have you tested again.

If they do hair follicle test it will show all the way back a whole year.
