Actually it is kind of important. When you are going through the pre-trip inspection during your CDL test, you must use words like "Bent, Cracked, Frayed, Broken, or Leaking" to narrate what you are inspecting.
Pre-trip Inspection:
A pre-trip inspection is a thorough inspection of the truck completed before driving for the first time each day.
Federal and state laws require that drivers inspect their vehicles. Federal and state inspectors also may inspect your vehicles. If they judge a vehicle to be unsafe, they will put it “out of service” until it is repaired.

Quick question about the pdf/printable pre-trip study guide... When talking about alternator wires, starter wires, battery wires, and electrical lines, there's a "(BBCCFTC)" referenced, always in parenthesis. Am I really missing something, is this somehow a typo, what is this?
