It's a thread full of interesting comments.
I wonder how many participants have actually taken and passed the non-commercial CDL test including the air brake test?
I failed my first time around on the safety checks because the inspector asked me to touch each item as I verbally explained what the test was and what I should be looking for. I talked about checking the fan belt for tension but in my rear engine DP I didn't crawl underneath to touch it - that earned me a fail.
That was in Las Vegas, NV
I have a class B CDL...took the road test & passed the first time in an old Ford L8000 side-loader, an old Pepsi truck. My wife took her road test in a Ford C6000 rollback and also passed the first time.
