Thank you for explaining your actions. This is an excellent video on fundamentals, especially thinking ahead/safe driving(limiting lane changes, protect space ahead) and saving fuel(coasting to a light).
This is how I drive my car also. Also how I taught my daughter to drive (besides the half speed exits.) I'm about to start CDL school and it looks like my driving basics are on point already. Defensive driving, all day, every day.
Hawkeye Community College's Regional Transportation Center is teaching the same call out of intersections, cars, people and other hazards to keep on the lookout for. Thanks for posting this video, gives one an idea of what WST expects.
Awesome video! I’m currently in training at Prime in SLC and this is a great reference for what it’ll be like when we get out on the road and how to stay vigilant. Thank you!
Good video, pretty similar to how I'll road test a newbie, good way to show how to reduce speed on on/off ramps. I have a few tight ramps I can take drivers on, and explain why the "my load shifted" excuse will not fly when they lay the trailer on its side, only 2 reasons why a load shifts, both of which are preventable by the driver. I also have a 12'2" bridge which is clearly marked that I'll run them by. A 13'6" trailer will clear, but they don't know that, now tell your boss how you made his brand new trailer a convertible. I'm assuming you also run them through a complete Pre-Trip Inspection, it's pretty scary how many drivers, even experienced ones, can't do a proper Pre-Trip, and I judge State Truck Driver Championships.
This is in Cedar Rapids Iowa, I recognized the roads because I went to my schooling with CRST in cedar Rapids Iowa, and this is part of the route I drove...Too funny
I like your style of driving. This is how I would drive. I'm in cdl school right and I'm having a hard time trying to stay speed limit because I'm more of a low risk driver...
@@Americanspy-hn2kw been good, finished cdl school in the end of may. Got my class A. decided not to go OTR for now. My dad was able to get me at his work driving Bobtail, with 4500 gallon tank. Doing Fleet Fueling. Going to do that for a while. Then probably going to want to use my class A soon. But for now I don't mind getting class B experience.
Those truck driver did a very good jobs explain other how to working on that truck driver and what to do before you get there as I see how he drive that stick shift very well for me to remember how he work that shift only to move that big truck driver as well they driving it very neat and clean and do better as they teach you with a wisdom and knowledge to encourage you the best be the best ok god bless you our big brothers and sister ok you lady and gentlman did very well good jobs ok
I'm driving a 6 speed for my CDL test in CA, do we lose points when we shift in the intersection? I know we cannot shift when we turn, but what if we are just going straight?
Wow, I'm surprised with how thorough this guy was, did anyone else see that no truck sign near the very beginning of this video that he did not mention, a very important sign to observe and point out to your examiner during a road test
All of us professional drivers with 10 or more years experience would fail real thorough road test if we were to do it the same exact way we drive everyday. I say this because we all do things that are "no-no's" like multitask alittle, float gears and drive with one hand
Cool vid,but if every driver would drive like that,that would be perfect but you're in Dreamland dude, in some of the West Side drivers that use have side like a fucking nut
I understand keeping a safe distance, but as long as the vehicle is gaining ahead of me, why keep backing off? he's going to be late for his load/unload appointment time. looks like he's driving an automatic
This is awesome video, I'm.about to go for my D truck license, very informative 😊

I used to drive for Westside. Good company and good people.

You are on point. Thank you for these explanations 🙏🏼
You've killed it Sir. Huge respect 👍
Drive like " The officer behind me and the family in front of me "
Thank you so much for that sir! :)
Says they must comply with all local traffic laws and then doesn't signal when leaving the yard.
🤭😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awesome video! I’m currently in training at Prime in SLC and this is a great reference for what it’ll be like when we get out on the road and how to stay vigilant. Thank you!

Excellent video!!! I really want to return to trucking. I thought it was time to retire and crazily gave up my hard earned CDL. NOW I REGRET IT.
Never too late to get back into it! I’m getting ready to hit the road again after a two year break.

You still driving these days?
Exelent Video,Thank you so much, fot taking the time to make it
Know the smith system. Live by it and you'll do fine. If you don't know the smith keys google it an learn the key. Good video as well.
Do you not have to stop before the stop signs before pulling up past it to see better?
I passed my test because my son won’t stop telling study
First left turn out of the yard with no signal, lol
I like your style of driving. This is how I would drive. I'm in cdl school right and I'm having a hard time trying to stay speed limit because I'm more of a low risk driver...
Hows it been

Thank you sir.
Some confusion going on in this video.. "i will wait and turn on the green arrow oh im gonna turn on the green light" lol

I was an automactic
I think your Qualcomm wants you to log in as the driver 😂
Very safe driving and experience
I'm driving a 6 speed for my CDL test in CA, do we lose points when we shift in the intersection? I know we cannot shift when we turn, but what if we are just going straight?
Yeah my school told me not To shift in the intersection
in canada they will fail you for not driving the posted speed. though you are paying your attention for the drive ways
Do you have a bendix system in the trucks
thanks a lot sir
Wow, I'm surprised with how thorough this guy was, did anyone else see that no truck sign near the very beginning of this video that he did not mention, a very important sign to observe and point out to your examiner during a road test
He's using the Smith system too
I feel if I do my commentary like this guy, I should ace my CDL test next Tuesday... the road test part.
Thank you for all the points🚦🚚👀
The problem I’m having is when is the best time to slow down even when there is a green light.
Who's watching this in 2018 ?!?
i watch it in 2019
@@duude197 I'm also watching
I'm watching 2019 great videos never dies.
Excellent Video, the highways would be much safer if these techniques were universally applied. May 25 2019 😀
2020
good video
Same
Fail my city driving twice, I pray I passed my last try. Honestly worst feeling ever
Nice video to bad you can’t look up the company on a cell phone. Wonder what your requirements are?
Don't forget your keys brotha
First stop sign he rolls past. Is that correct?
of all these road tests. I never see a cdl driver demonstrate or do a railroad crossing.
I miss iowa
Why?!!
Thank you
is that truck automatic?
I never seen him down shift or up shift i was saying that must be an automatic truck
Good driver

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍
I'm surprised the Smith System hasn't asked you to take this down yet. They get testy when people cover their keys without paying.
Passed my test I am hitting the road
I would fail this road test I'm doing all of what he's saying but to be calling it out would piss me off to the extreme
All of us professional drivers with 10 or more years experience would fail real thorough road test if we were to do it the same exact way we drive everyday. I say this because we all do things that are "no-no's" like multitask alittle, float gears and drive with one hand
You dont have to call it out like that
PATRICK ANDREW LEBBENEY-BANDAR GREEN
Yes that is an automatic transmission y😢
UPS terminologies
that left turn he made on the freeway the light turned yellow wouldnt that be an automatic fail on a driving test
Thats what i was thinking he waited 2 late 2 start moving
Cool vid,but if every driver would drive like that,that would be perfect but you're in Dreamland dude, in some of the West Side drivers that use have side like a fucking nut
Testing tomorrow
Who's watching this in 2024?
Do you guys hire student drivers?
I understand keeping a safe distance, but as long as the vehicle is gaining ahead of me, why keep backing off? he's going to be late for his load/unload appointment time. looks like he's driving an automatic
Being late is better than involving in a road incident my friend 👍
Distance calculation doesn’t work
this guy he only driving straight and talking. no turns.😩
REPENT AND FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST BEFORE ITS TOO LATE 🔴..
Ups driver
Mi
Annoying
