    M818 - Georgia CDL driving test?

    yup, it's crazy but that is the way it is. technology is ahead of the state testing dept, that is not surprising. I'm sure you will get some variation from dept to dept but on this issue I doubt it. You have to imagine and know in the back of your mind that the people giving you the test have...

    M818 - Georgia CDL driving test?

    yup, it's back assed for sure but you get the point with his language. make sure you use your tire gauge and check all the pressures, tire depth, and lots and lots of other things. you must specify the min tread depth for steer and rear tires too. don't just say they are OK. You must also...

    M818 - Georgia CDL driving test?

    Trust me, you can't use them. I have tried. The test was created before disc brakes came on class 8 trucks. There are certain items you can miss and still pass but not with the brakes. During the brake protion of the test you must follow "their" guide lines exactly and no you cannot find it...

    M818 - Georgia CDL driving test?

    M818 - Georgia CDL driving test?

    they may refuse it because it does not meet the two types of air leakdown tests that are in the ga driving manual. Even if you go so far as to install the red and yellow airbrake knobs on the dash like I did it does not meet the test requirements. If the person giving you the test is a moron...

    I just took my CDL last year in Georgia, AND I tried to use my 818. DO NOT DO THIS!!! the people giving you the test do not know how to give the tests in the 818. It does not have air brakes and it does not have air over hyd. THERE IS NO PROPER TEST IN THE GEORGIA SYSTEM FOR THE 818 AND THIS...
