from a driver, first you got to know trucks if its on the truck you need to know what it is, what it does, and what to look for as to failure or getting ready to fail,if its in the book you need to know it, do the pre trip inspection, acuratly, and get used to it you will do it everytime you start up a truck to make a run, after you pass all the witten, and you may need mor than you think, here in nm, when i had mine upgraded[ needed a tanker endorsement] after driving for 20 years, i also got tagged for doubble and tripple trailers too, never studied any of it but got all correct, guess experience counts for something lol,it may be in your state too , the problem was rookies fresh out of school, got there first cdl then a month later were found out pulling doubbles for lee way or somebody a few years ago, so the dot made it automatic thet any cdl holder here has to have doubble and tripple trailers too, the last thing is during the driving test, be able to handel the truck, if your short on seat time borrow or even rent a tractor trailer and practice in a closed supermarket parking lot, you need to be able to hitch, unhitch, as well as alley dock, straight dock and prescision park the truck and make the inspector believe you can do this relitively easily so pratice makes perfect , as your on your test drive with the dot sitting beside you he may ask you what a sign you just passed said, better know what it was, be observant, also this is stupid and nobody does it , but if you inspector is a by the book kind of guy, when you start up at a intersection dont grab that stick and get another gear untill the truck is all the way through the intersection, they count heavy for that [ if your empty you can start in 2nd or third gear to get across the same day you start across , good luck hope this helps

This is the place! Bought
