Great information. I've been stressing aboit the pre-trip for months. I will still be studying. It will still be helpful. Thanks. Fontana is where i will be testing. My birthday is July 10th. Maybe thats a good sign. Hopefully.
That's awesome! =)
I’m glad i saved this video.
Edit: I found the link of the document in the comments. Thank you.
Awesome! =)
Make sure to watch all of my latest videos for new rule!
I am a 61 years old lady from Thailand. I had already passed CDL class A driving on the 1st try. If I can pass, everyone can pass too.
Great job!! =)
Thank you VERY much for this update Gene. You are the best! Can you please update or pass along any other info or dates you hear of in the future?? Thanks in advance.
I am going to DMV soon to get first hand information and update everyone. 😊
Thanks for the amazing info, Gene. I have a test coming soon in July in Mountain View, California. I already have a class B license with air brakes. I need passenger endorsements for the bus I'll be driving, which has a maximum capacity of 15 with the driver. Do you have any tips on the driving skills test or recommendations? Thanks again!
Thank you so much for your kind remark. You can search Class B passenger for bus endorsement. I have video regarding to that.
WISH IT WAS THIS EASY WHEN I DID IT
Practice makes perfect! =)
Great video - Trucker Steve CDL Instructor on you tube. I have all the new skills on my you tube channel.
That's awesome Steve! Many things I can learn from you! =)
@@genefeng working on how to use the pre- trip checklist and later will do an updated pre-trip
Any state can add to the pre-trip is they choose to. Also any school can require the students to learn the entire tractor trailer.
@@genefeng just put a link to your channel for the training video you have. Want to be sure of the language on your website. Chinese? Want to refer students to you
CDL test center at Fontana is the best.
Yes! road is wider too!
Is this only for the Fontana dmv? I got my test at the end of July and want to make sure.
You can go to Lancaster CDL DMV or your own trucking school for clarification. Majority of CDL DMV already begin on July 10, 2023. Some will start in August.
I will go to school in pa this checklist can we do that in anystate so basically i can bring this checklist and do it when taking the actually pre inspection
I don't think so. Each state has their own rules. Best is to follow your school's reading notes. =)
I'm trying to find the January 2023 CDL manual that has the checklist. I went to the DMV in Redlands and San Bernardino, neither has it. Where can I get one ? Does the test site in Fontana have them ?
Here is the link to DMV file: www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/file/commercial-driver-license-manual-modernization-supplement-pdf/
@@genefeng thanks. I will print out the checklist. Looks like California made the pre-trip much easier for the test. I think at my school we still must be graded on the regular pre-trip procedure though.
By any chance do you know if Gardena is doing the new skill test?
Yes. However, you should go there to confirm, if is in effect or not. Eventually, every DMV in CA (possible exclude couple of the dmv) will be required to use the new format.
What if I failed the road test before July 10 ? Do I have to retake pretrip /skills test all over again or just road test? Thank you.
You have total 3 try to complete the exam. If this is your 1st or 2nd test failed on the road, then you ONLY need to do road test. Good luck.
What if I have my commercial permit would I have to redo the 3 test again?
You have to have Commercial Learner’s Permit (written test) in order to go take your test. After July 10, then these new pretrip and skills will apply. This is for California CDL DMV. Some California CDL DMV might not take effect until August 2023.
Will this work in monterey county im gonna take my test in April ???
Most likely yes.
Hey boss so on the Booklet it says “ be prepared to do this Inspection on Any axle On the truck” so the checklist obviously only says Steering axle . Why on the booklet it says you need to perform inspection on any axle but checklist only says Steering axle ? It’s page 11M.5.2 And one more thing In the tires and rims sections Page 11m-8 Top left corner it says Following items must be inspected on each axle ? But on the checklist it only asks for Steering axle ? I’m a bit confused sir do I trust the booklet and go through all axles or just the checklist which only says steering axles . I’d really appreciate an answer
11m-8 is inspection for the tires and rims . So booklet says on all axles but clearly on checklist it only says steering axle ? I’m a bit confused
This is for class A
This new format is new to everyone. Including the examiner. Some items will depend upon the examiner. Gray area. Therefore, before your exam, you can ask the examiner for clarification on your questions. If they don't want to answer your question, then just say them to make sure you get the score. Remember: This new checklist covers class, A, B, and C!
Regardless which axle you need to perform, you should be able to point out any axles: SSBW for front axle, and SBW for rear axles! Steering, Suspension, Brake, and Wheels. Remember, you as a future truck driver will be performing this inspection every single time before driving off your truck! Your safety is your top priority!. Check your truck as if you are going to drive it to New York! Do you just check your front axle or all axles?
My test is going to be on July 7th, are they gonna change it then?
July 7 should be fine. Make sure to pass your exam! You got this! 😎😎👍👍
My trucking school said its going to change in august are they wrong?
DMV just had their meeting couple days ago. I will ask DMV for confirmation, and update everyone. =)
What if you fail skills in June and reschedule in July do we have to take the pre trip again?
DMV will be having a training next week. I will ask them for clarification. I’ll keep you posted.
Same situation here I failed in Gardena DMV the alley dock because I used all my pull ups
@@victoriamacias5743 new skill no longer need to do alley dock, this might be a good thing for you! 😊.
If you already passed the pre trip in June but failed the skills and you’re now retesting do you have to do the new pre trip?
Yup! Start all over with pretrip.
@@genefengare the pre trip inspection test, skill test, and road test all together? Or each test is done different appointment?
@@anekinoo7 all together in one day. Unless they ran out of time, then will reschedule for another day.
Can you post point system in detail to the best of your knowledge?
Examiner will explain to you. Just focus on 100% pass, and you will do well! =)
I’m an Instructor but wanted to know how point system is gonna work @ DMV
@@edwardmoreno964 My personal suggestion is for you to go to your local CDL DMV, and ask them, so that you will get accurate answers. For our area, their point system have changed, so each DMV might work differently. For example, some DMV will still keep old test method and give trucking school more time to prepare. Others CDL DMV will keep new method.
Can you keep us updated on how itll work.
Sure! 😊
You can watch my new test videos for pretrip and skills
can you teach me rear offset backing, im willing to pay you.
Thank you. =) Feel free to contact me directly through email. genefeng2005@gmail.com
Thank you for the information 🙏 I have a question I passed the air brakes and inspection but I failed the skills ,so I need do whole inspection again? Thank you in advance ☺️
I’m having a meeting with dmv this Saturday, so I’ll get clearer direction. Mainly depend on if you will take your 2nd skill test before or after their set date. If after their date, then your skills will need to go by new format. Starting date might change to August 1st? I’ll keep everyone posted. 😊
When are you going to take the test again?
Any update if they agreed the change on July 10?
Yes, for Fontana CDL, DMV, this Saturday there will be an open house. Everyone is welcome to attend. 8 AM to 10 AM. If you can’t make it, I will make a video and update with more detail.
What if your in school right now and have your appointment is after July 10 do I have to do the new test or the old one?
Can you email that document or a link to download it?

@@genefeng TY, Gene! I passed my CDL in 2022 but would like to stay current as I know several new drivers and student drivers.

Thank you.
I have a Class A non-commercial test at Fontana in a couple of weeks. Is it the same test ? It for a fifth wheel travel trailer
Class A is for commercial truck, so not sure what you mean. In any case, new test is already in effect beginning July 10, 2023.
I have applied for the class A non-commercial so want to know if it’s it’s the same test?
