Yeah, the guy who does it will switch it up. Sometimes people will do the engine some won't. I got lucky and didn't have to! I would of be fine doing it whatever way tho but still was nice to just breeze on through it.
Missouri was random about what parts you would do for the pre-trip. It was possible to get the full pre-trip. One guy from my school did. Better talk fast to get it done in the time limit!
I did front of the tractor, engine compartment and coupling system. Plus the lights check.
Thanks both of you! I figured that's what it was, a random section, but it could be any section. I'm studying the whole thing of course.
No worries. Studying is good! Plus with all the time you'll get on the yard or with your trainer, you'll have no problems breezing through the pre trip.

Today was a nice day, did some laundry, my first roommate dalton passed and now is licensed! So since me and him are the only ones left in our class does that make it 100% passing rate? 😜 But yeah, Chris who runs the whole training operations took Pete and dalton and I to the dmv I already did it, but they had to finalize there stuff and then he let us pick whatever we wanted for lunch. After that we had some paperwork to do and just basically finalize everything since we are now hired on with Jim Palmer.
I'll be leaving tomorrow morning, so I'm excited. I'm on the payroll and can finall make some money again. 😎 But as always I'll keep you all updated and I'll talk to you guys next time. Stay safe everyone.

To celebrate your passing I officially put in my application earlier today. I had been debating on whether I should put in my application now or later because I'm waiting on some medical paperwork to process before I can hold a CDL but you've inspired me to get a head start on it. Really hope you continue to write out your adventures for us to read. Drive safe Aaron!

I appreciate the kind words. I wish you the best and hopefully the medical stuff will clear and you get to go for your cdl! Good luck with everything. And keep us posted.

Thanks, I'm leaving soon with my trainer. So I'll update when I can. It's a load of apples, 44,000 in the box heading to New Jersey.... 😑 About 2300 miles and it delivers on Saturday
