Vehicle Pre-Trip Checklist Inspection - Michigan CDL Skills Tests: The Michigan vehicle inspection test (walk-around) requires the driver to point out vehicle components and explain what you are checking and why to the examiner. This includes an under the hood engine compartment inspection. A driver is not required to crawl under the vehicle during the test. The Michigan Vehicle Checklist Inspection (walk-around) test is explained in Section 11 of the (Commercial Driver's License Manual). In many states, a driver may use the Memory Aid found in the Commercial Driver's License Manual during the Vehicle Inspection test segment.

This is the only memory aid allowed and it cannot be altered or include notes or additions. The three-part skills tests must be scheduled (often more than a week ahead). They are given either by a state tester or by a state approved third party tester. Depending on where you live, you will either have to provide a proper vehicle or one will be provided for you. This varies from state to state. Check your specific for details.

Parking Brake Check. Apply parking brake only and shift into a lower gear. Gently pull against the brake by releasing the clutch, and it should hold the vehicle. Hydraulic Brake Check. With the engine running, apply the foot brake and hold for five seconds.

The pedal should not move (lose pressure) during those five seconds. If equipped with a hydraulic brake reserve system, with the key in the off position, depress the brake pedal and listen for the sound of the reserve system electric motor turning on. Check that the warning buzzer and light is off.

Check the proper operation of the foot brake by moving the vehicle forward slowly at about 5 mph and applying the brake firmly. Air Brake System Check For air brake equipped vehicles, the proper procedures for inspecting the air brake system are as follows: Test Air Leakage Rate (Static check). With a fully-charged air system, typically at 120 psi, turn the engine off, chock the wheels, release (push in) the parking brake button and trailer air supply button (for combination vehicles) and time the air pressure drop. After the initial drop, the rate of pressure loss should not be more than 2 psi per minute for single vehicles and no more than 3 psi per minute for combination vehicles Test Air Brake System for Leaks. Release (push in) the parking brake and trailer air supply button (for combination vehicles), and apply pressure to the foot brake.

After the initial drop in pressure, the rate of pressure loss should be no more than 3 psi per minute for single vehicles and no more than 4 psi per minute for combination vehicles. Test Low Pressure Warning Alarm and/or Signal. Turn the key to the on position. Rapidly depress and release the foot brake to reduce air tank pressure. The low air pressure warning signal must come on before the pressure drops below 60 psi. Check that the Spring Brakes Activate Automatically.

Continue to rapidly apply and release the service brake pedal further reducing air pressure. The trailer air supply button (for combination vehicles) and parking brake button should pop out when the pressure falls to usually between 20 to 40 psi. This should activate the spring brakes. Check Rate of Air Pressure Buildup. While the engine is operating at 1800 RPM, the pressure should rise from 85 to 100 psi within 45 seconds in dual air systems. Test Foot (Service) Brakes.

With normal air pressure, release the parking brake and trailer air supply button (for combination vehicles), move the vehicle forward slowly at about 5 mph and apply the brakes firmly using the brake pedal. Test for any pulling to any one side or delayed stopping action. Air and Electrical Connections. The trailer air connectors should be sealed and in good condition.

Glad hands should be locked in place and free of damage or air leaks. The trailer electrical plug should be firmly seated and locked in place. Header Board. If equipped with a header board, check to see that it is secure, damage-free and strong enough to contain cargo. If equipped with a canvas or tarp carrier, it should be mounted and fastened securely.

Check the front area of enclosed trailers for cracks, bulges or holes. Landing Gear. The landing gear must be fully raised. Check that it has no missing parts with a non-damaged support frame and that the crank handle is secure. Check for air or hydraulic leaks if power operated.

Doors, Ties and Lifts. Check that doors are not damaged and that they open, close, and latch properly from the outside. Ties, straps, chains, and binders should be secure. Any cargo lifts should be checked for leaking, damaged or missing parts, and should be fully retracted and latched securely. Frame. The frame, cross members, box, and floor should be checked for holes, cracks, broken welds or other damage.

Tandem Release Arm and Locking Pins. If equipped, make sure that the release arm is secured and that the locking pins are locked in place.

The 'moving wall' represents the time period between the last issue available in JSTOR and the most recently published issue of a journal. Moving walls are generally represented in years. In rare instances, a publisher has elected to have a 'zero' moving wall, so their current issues are available in JSTOR shortly after publication. Note: In calculating the moving wall, the current year is not counted.

For example, if the current year is 2008 and a journal has a 5 year moving wall, articles from the year 2002 are available. Terms Related to the Moving Wall Fixed walls: Journals with no new volumes being added to the archive. Absorbed: Journals that are combined with another title. Complete: Journals that are no longer published or that have been combined with another title. A method of vehicle performance measurement has been developed so that selection of optimum fuel-economy-performance trade-offs can be made for a vehicle having various powertrain components. This method was utilized in an analytical study of drivetrain component features such as-overall ratio range, number of ratio steps, locked converters, continuously variable drives, etc.

Both manual and automatic type transmissions are considered. Indications are that ratio range is an important consideration in the selection of transmission design parameters and also conventional transmission concepts can be competitive with the more exotic continuously variable type units.
