Module 2: Bus Components

2023 I would like to thank you for this video it's really helping me get ready I have the test coming soon keep up the good work

Hi. I just want to thank you for such a great, informative video. In training for my school bus CDL test in Utah, I was told what to look at, but I didn’t know what was what. This video was SOOO helpful to me. Plus, I thought I’d be going over the whole bus, but just like your video explained, I only had to identify parts of the Pre trip on the test. Having heard your explanation of such, really helped me not get thrown when the tester explained it to me. AND, with this video (and my own studying), I got a perfect 100% score on the pre trip. The tester said that was the first time he’s ever given a perfect score on the pre trip before! So, thanks again for making such an awesome video!

Now I feel confident enough to nail the pre-trip Thank you

I've viewed A LOT of videos. I must say this is by far the most professional and detailed. THANK YOU for taking the time to produce this. Seriously impressive. A+

This by far the most thorough once-over for CDL candidates. Thanks for your good works and generosity in sharing the know-how with us.

It's so funny, after watching and watching all these videos, today I had my CDL road test and for the pre trip (I learned almost by heart all those under the hood names) and the examiner said : "On the passenger side, do the pre trip from the mirror to the back"... then the easiest skills ever, then the RR crossing, student drop off and hit the road Jack! Got it!

I want to thank you for the best description video out there. You have no idea how much this has helped me prepare for my road test. Though I am in Canada and much of road test is different. Just learning all my components was key. Thank you again

This is the best bus inspection I have seen on YouTube, it is so helpful. I had a CDL for a school bus in the past but let it lapse, so I am redoing it all over again. Things have changed so much since I drove in 2018, I need to relearn all of it. Needless to say, I am a nervous wreck and it's coming up next week. Wish me luck, I'm gonna need it, lol The thing I liked the most was the CDLS acronym, I think if I just keep this in mind I'll do alright. :face-turquoise-covering-eyes::hand-purple-blue-peace:

This is a very helpful video. I drive a school bus. At about 34 minutes into the video, while at the back emergency door, it is not mentioned that the seal surrounding the door and frame is mounted correctly, is supple, not dry rotted, or has chunks taken out(No Damage). the exhaust from the tail pipe could enter with toxic fumes. Anyway, Thanks for this video.

Your videos were so helpful 😭 I watched it over and over for weeks before my road test and pretrip test. And I passed a day ago. 🙌 🎉 I received My CDL 🎉. Thank you for sharing and making this so easy to understand and to the point

Wawww that’s clear explanation & more than enough helpful !! Thanks so much for sharing to us this video.

i love how you identified every part of the safe engine start. not just saying a safe engine start and not really knowing what it actually was, but you identified what it was and the components that make up the safe engine start.. now i know what it is ! thank you

This is one of the best videos I have seen. I appreciate this so much! Even though I’m in Oregon…I will recommend this to everyone!

This has been the best video I have watched on pre trip inspection.. I have seen most of all of them and not one have shown exactly what you have to be looking for like this video TWO THUMBS UP HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 👍 👌 👏 😀...

Thank you very much for these awesome detail video. You have help a lot of people out here put food on the table for there families.

Outstanding video with so much detail! I used this video the first time i took my CDL test in Illinois 2018, moved to washington state in 2020, transferred my license over with P, S endorsement but have an air brake restriction so went to DMV, passed the written for air brakes, then they re-issued me a CDL learners permit and it appears I have to do this whole thing over, don't get it!!

I've seen a few videos on school buses, but I personally think that this one is by far the better one. Great job on this video. I would also like to see if you can do one for the small school buses.

THANK YOU! The most professional and detailed.

I sat through this whole video. The BEST video I’ve ever seen!!!!!!!! I test Tuesday and I’m nervous
