Profile For Brandy P.

Has anyone recently acquired their CDL in Texas. Having tested and passed at a DPS not from third party testers. I've tested and failed 3 times within the last 3 weeks at 2 different DPS locations. It's very frustrating because if you fail.. they won't tell you how. They won't tell you what you missed or what you did wrong.. just that you failed. Oh.. and go back and read section 11 of the CDL manual. I know my material. I can do my pre-trip in my sleep. It's solid. So if anyone has tested and passed.. please tell me what the trick is. There has to be something that I'm missing. Help.. I'm desperate.

This is what I did to learn my pre-trip inspection.

# 1. Take whatever study guide your school has given you and actually write out how you would be saying it to the examiner. # 2. Then take your script out to your truck and record yourself doing your pre-trip. Just like you will be saying everything to the examiner. # 3. Now.. you listen to your own pre trip .. in your own words.. as much as you can possibly stand it. Then listen some more. Now... Do the same thing for your in-cab inspection and air brakes test. Trust me.. this works.
