When I got my CDL, I had to give a THOROUGH explanation of what just about every part of the truck is and explain exactly what every part of the truck does, starting at the front bumper and finishing up at the rear bumper of the trailer. This also included the top of the cab to the tire tread that touched the pavement. I had to explain what exactly everything inside the cab is and what it does.

Before I started, there was a clearance light out and it had to be replaced before he ever got inside the truck. Sounds like he wanted to get you in and out as quick as possible.
