Congratulations! It's a pretty tough road test. I havnt done mine yet I still have a bunch of lessons to complete first. But if been nervous. Aside from this coupling video what else did they get you to do?
The only thing I would suggest is not putting the landing gear firm on the ground. Lower it until it touches, then back it up about 2 rotations. It helps, so you know the trailer won’t be sky high for coupling
My name is Stephen James and I am a Certified Evaluator & Instructor. Plus I have been trucking since Jan. 1976. I am not here to be critical of how you do the training, but I am here to take a look at how you personally completed the showing of "Coupling and Uncoupling" of the truck. This is my introduction to you, the next part will be longer.
So thankful for this video. I wasnt sure how I was going to memorize this road test just from seeing it on paper but your video has saved me. Thank you!
Safety should be your first priority brother, so make sure you practice safety next video. Uncoupling Never go under neith of the tractor trailer while your tractor is on the key. Simply take the key out of the tractor, so that your giving 0% Chance of anyone trying to smash you.
Do you not need to carry out trailer condition/safety checks before coupling up in Canada? When coupled no reverse lights, break lights, side marker lights checks? Here in the U.K. we’d get marked down for those?
@@gmtruckforklifttrainingcen810 ohh ok you guys in Canada do a more detailed pretrip, I recently took the exam at a dmv in New Jersey and I failed because I failed to push in the airbrake valves. I like your content
Alot of mistakes buddy There's no excessive play in the fifth wheel , before Pulling out the tractor say I will pull it half way out , fifth wheel air cylinder is present and there is no air leak heard or felt from it , before backing up say my way is clear I will explain the cargo body over there .
As a Registered Evaluator and almost 50 years of experience in trucks, I began in 1976. I would give you a fail, for not knowing a lot more than what you've shown. You have a good grasp of it, but you've grown either complacent or just not knowing certain areas of hooking up. Placement of the Landing Gear, when you have air suspension on the tractor is wrong. The coupling and Uncoupling were wrong. Placement of the Airlines and Electrical cords is illegal, although in your yard you work out of, who is going to know. Your air test of the system is wrong and not held for 15 seconds. And when you spiked the trailer, to test the application of the spring brakes, I am pretty sure I heard a rush of air that would have come from the blue line (Service Line) which told me that Gladhand was not properly installed. Hearing the air from release when you took the brakes off, is not what I heard, because when you place the spike that far down, the rush of air would be very audible even from where you were sitting with the door open. As an Evaluator, and assessing your abilities, I would give you a 1-hour training session to bring you up to par. Good video, but you do need a bit of work.
Okay from the 1st 5 minutes, this lesson of uncoupling, has already failed. Stowage of the Air/Electrical, is a fail. (*Hint*-- NO Bungy-cords are allowed on the catwalk, and you did not stow the lines in the proper coupler, or holder). I am going to fast forward to the recoupling and see how you did... On your Coupling to the trailer, again a Fail. You MUST hook the lines up, and charge by pushing in the RED or Supply Line, and then pulling it out, You will hear the exhaust of the brakes telling you the system is charged and backing into is okay. **Reminder**- All Airlines and Electrical lines MUST be hooked up Before backing and they should also be the last thing you pull off when uncoupling and again Stowed properly. The trailer Must show that it will not roll backwards as you crawl under to hook up. Sorry Pal, you did not show a proper way to hook up. Don't cut corners, you will pay for it in the long run.
You’re an amazing instructor bro, i saw many videos but yours is detailed accurate and clear I really appreciate it thank you 🙏🏽
yes i saw many videos this is the best

I am so appreciate, thank you brother 🙏 ❤️

Thanks a lot brother, I cleared my road test all because of your videos . Thanks again .. God bless you. Take care

What was the test like? Do they ask you to do coupling first?
@@justinmcnaughton3016 no they ask you to do in cab inspection then airbrake inspection then coupling and uncoupling then road and finally back up
Hello, I'm in Kenya and really interested in truck driving. Does your school take students from other countries and how much?

How do i join your training, when outside Canada, because i am too intrested in truck driving course.
Great Video... Question: Would it be Best to Take Key Off ignition when Unchoking the Wheel? Or is having Parking Breaks on just Fine?
Thank you!
having the brakes out is fine!
I'm in school here in Brampton and you sir are really detailed. Love the video. Im regretting my school choice now.

Sweet !!
Nice 👍
❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🇨🇦🇨🇦
So these are the correct ways of performing inspections on any class 1 vehicle(Canada)
Does the landing gear have to touch the ground or should it be a little above.
Hi,
Its best that the landing gear touches the ground!
Hi, had a question how can you do this with a truck with out air bags ,to drop / raise truck ... say truck has spring spring ?
Hi,
to work with this type of truck, some trucks have a suspension lock or switch located near the dashboard!
Great instructor and video Masha'Allah. I have a question, Do you read from schedule 1 for the uncoupling - couplying ??
Hi,
No there is nothing to read off schedule 1 for Coupling and uncoupling!
Thanx 🙏🏻❤️
Good job
Nice job without gloves.........
👍👍
thanks bro
Can you post video on how to ride a bicycle, this video is so fascinating .
can you do a video on the 90 degree backing?
hi, will be doing the backing video hopefully this year summer!
👍🏽
hi do you guys have a branch here in edmonton i watch your video and it seems you are a very experience instructor
Hi, no we do not have a branch in Edmonton, but you are more then welcome to come to Toronto!
More videos please.
Where in brampton do you guys train?
Hi,
we are located in Mississauga! feel free to call us 905-791-8500
thank you for the great work
Do you not need to carry out trailer condition/safety checks before coupling up in Canada?
When coupled no reverse lights, break lights, side marker lights checks?
Here in the U.K. we’d get marked down for those?
no,
in Canada theses things don't need to be covered in coupling section.
Very nice video. I have a question as to where is this place as it seems a bit different from what I have learned
Hi,
we are located in Mississauga Ontario. if you have any further questions feel free to email me Nirmann15@gmail.com

so no need the 5th wheel to be tilted down. just punch the trailer lol in manitoba we do stop a 5th wheel before it reaches the trailer
After how much time can we learn L backing technique
Hi,
It depends on the student how long it takes them to understand. Some learn quick, others take longer
nyc
Can't see the king pin or jaws. That would be helpful.
Why is the mudguards all broke off the truck 🤔
TAILER BREAK SHOULD BE FIRST IN YOUR LIST
Gm is best
Great video but should be wearing work gloves!!
When do you teach how to drive in the ditch..
Nobody tell when should we do or fillup air bag and down when coupling or uncoupling
Brother make a video on 90 degree alley docking
hi, will be doing backing video hopefully this summer!
4 flasher working bro

Hi
Wrong information when u check tractor protection valve red line always disconnect

I think their school is in Canada. Not as strict as American trucking schools.
Very good brother
That fifth wheel needs grease. Pls.
Where is your goloves 😂😂😂
