Note for company road test
Post by HuaBeiLang
Note for company road test:
// Subject: For new class 1 people, if share ideas, the things should be better
// For coupling and do inspection, the tractor is separated with the trailer at the begining.
// as one guy said, sinoquebec from YIN BA Jia Xiao did not know coupling.
// so one guy failed after other two for the company and or agent road test,
// if the three or four sinoquebec people exchange the idea,
// the situation should be better
// here is an idea , reference only, any ideas are welcomed, thanks for positive people.

9, FRAME OF TRUCK (1) Frame no crack no weld☺ (2) Mirror good tide☺ F M
// for tractor only, cold inspection finished, go to inside to start engine.
10, EMBARK IN THE TRUCK:
(1) switch key on (2) neutral ok, parking ok (3) wait indicator off, clutch, start engine (4) oil pressure goes up in 4 or 5 seconds (or indicate to 40) (5) on light/high beam (6) go down,engine is ok no leak in 2 sides , close hood (7) lock hood (8) high beam working-! (9) parking light ok -! (10) off high, flasher left (11) low beam work ,one no function! , both no function O (12) check flasher left (13) all lights on the left if 1 of them works minor (14) rear parking lights function no major (15) verifier the license plate light -! (16) say to the inspector, “verify the brake light”, apply the service brakes (17) turn flasher right, return at the back with the inspector (18) verify flashers and all the lights on the right (19) “tractor inspection outside finished”, go on the truck, turn off the flasher
INSIDE INSPECTION: (20) verify if the buzzer functions at 55 psi (1.5 low air pressure warning for service brakes) (21) release parking brake and to pump service brake, conform:the buzzer functions―! because the air pressure gages function (22) verify if the compressor reach and maintain a minimum of 90 psi, while the air goes up to maintain the foot on the service brake (1.6 component: compressor)
11, While AIR goes up:MENTION MAJOR AND MINOR:
(1) windshield: left: no crack―O (2) (windshield) right :no crack―! (3) test the wiper (4) left wiper working―O (5) right wiper working―!

12, MAKE AIR PRESSURE reading
(1) the pressure beyond 90 psi, no major on compressor, (1.6) (2) increase the rpm to 1500
(3) verify if governor stop compressor between 117 psi and 137 psi, if before 117 psi or after 137 psi , it's minor (1.1 pressure level the compressor stops operating)
13, While the AIR goes up Verify The PRESSURE GAUGES: (1)water temperature ok (2) oil pressure ok.(3) fuel ok. 4) air Pressure Go up (5) alternator ok
14, (4) compressor stop at 125 psi no defect,(1.1 component:governor)
release the service brake, stop(key off) the engine
15, APPLY THE SERVICE BRAKES:
(1) apply the service brake, and check how many psi loss, if loss less of 19 psi no defect; if loss more it is minor , ok (1.2 compressed air reservoirs)
(2) windows down, check air leak for 1 minute, if the loss between 3 and 6 psi !, if loss 6psi and more O; no air leak, pressure is stable, no defect (1.3 system)
(3) (reconnect,key on) clutch down and start engine, pump the service brake until 80 psi to check if the governor restart the compressor at 80 psi,confirms:air pressure goes up, the governor restart compressor, if need to pump less of 80 psi, minor (1.4)
16, check BRAKES and coupling
(1)(2)(3)(4) service brake for all vehicle: ok―O (5) (6)
(7) no major defect on the steering box.
// now copling, some company do not like to watch trailer from the window at the back,
// however, some other agent inspector do not mind if you see from back window
Couping (3 minutes) KingpinBetween5th//stopAfterFirstAxleOut, JawBackupwithHalfClutch, JerkWith1thGear,
Kingpinloggoin, Jawclosed, ElecRoses, Legup
(1) bring truck parallel fron of the trailer, make sure
put back gear bring trailer first axle out, stop.
go under the trailer make sure king ping between 5th wheel
// First step: position kingpin and jaw with first axle out and go to make sure under the trailer
(2) come inside truck, release truck brake
and put back gear, keep half clutch, go slowly under the trailer
and litsen noise. click---click, ( JawBackupwithHalfClutch )
then put 1th gear, give one or two jerk then put neutral, brake (parking brake of truck).
go out, make sure king pin log is go in and after go under trailer make sure jaw closed.
then electrical and air roses , then put up dolly legs ( LegUp )
// Second step: JawBackupwithHalfClutch, JerkWith1thGear,checkKingpinloggoin, Jawclosed, ElecRoses, Legup
// after copling, inspect following :
17, copling check (1) upplate and king pin no damaged no major(checked when couping), (2) jow cloed no major(checked when couplg)
(3) trailer Floor no major (4) trailer Cross member no major
18, check for trailer Pin FLB TRNVW Pin
19, check Behind the trailer
20, check lights for trailer no major in brake light and no major for rear parking light
flasher left, 4 flasher and flasher right check no minor, license plate light no minor
after coupling do left inspection whith flasher left.
and then at the back and right side with flasher left.
18-1, Inspect PinFLBTRN V W Pin for trailer left
19, Behind THE TRAILER
1. Bumper good tide―! (2) Flashers function (3) all the Pantures: good fix, good condition―offense 4) Open the door and check if the load will be firmly--offense (5) Close the door
rear parking lights function no major (4) verifier the license plate light -! (5) say to the inspector, “verify the brake light”, go to apply the service brakes, check 4Flashers function then turn flasher right, return at the back with the inspector
18-2 verify flashers and all the lights on the right
at the same time, check FLB TRN V W for trailer right
21, check BRAKES

(2) parking brake of truck: ok―!
(3) manual brake of trailer : ok―!
(4) service brake is inspected
(5) move and check if the wheels of the trailer no jam, and if the steering box working on the left,on the right
(6) if the wheels of trailer don't move well !
(7)
The inspection is finished.
After practice on the road
uncoupling (2 minutes) LegDown, JawOpen, KingpinOut, UnlockRoses..
(1) Dolly Leg Down
(2) unlock king pin nob ( Jaw Open)
// come inside the tructor
// release truck brake only
// put 1th gear
// look at the rear mirror
// take axle come out, stop
// go out to make sure
(3) King Pin come out the 5th wheel
(4) Unlock air Roses and Electrical wire
The road test is finished.
( if couping over 10 minutes, failed.
if ones want to short the inspection time,
ones could say "ok" only to short for minor defect or major defect. ) |
