Classroom Instruction 3 Hour Air Brake Inspection Class This class is specifically designed to
assist new drivers to understand the air brake systems of today’s commercial
trucks. Each
component of the air brake system will be examined to help drivers understand
what each part does and how they relate to the complete system. The potential
defects for each component will be described in detail
to help drivers identify problems quickly. This class will help driver prepare for
the state administered air brake inspection that must be passed at the
beginning of a CDL road test in a truck with air brakes. Students will practice taking the test
with our truck under the supervision of licensed instructors. This class is a must for drivers that are
not comfortable with their mechanical knowledge. It is also important for anyone that
has difficulty with verbal communication because the state examiners expect you
to explain each of the air brake components and what to look for when you
inspect them. This
class would not be necessary for individuals that are competent mechanics and
are familiar with brake system components. This class meets every Saturday morning
from 9:00 a.m. to noon.
Classes are not held on holiday weekends. The class also meets on every other
Wednesday night from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. (please call our office for dates). The tuition for
this class is $49.00. The
class is included with all of our training programs. FMCSA
