When I got my CDL, I had to give a THOROUGH explanation of what just about every part of the truck is and explain exactly what every part of the truck does, starting at the front bumper and finishing up at the rear bumper of the trailer. This also included the top of the cab to the tire tread that touched the pavement. I had to explain what exactly everything inside the cab is and what it does. I then had to give an air brake demonstration (with the engine off). My in-town driving demonstration took over an hour and I had to do a straight backup (of about 100 yards), an alley dock, a parallel park (putting the entire truck and trailer between four cones) and a lane change while backing up. I then had to drive the guy around town for about 30 minutes. I was warned ahead of time that if I drove over a curb in any part of this test, it was an automatic fail. I drove under an overpass and after I went through it he asked me what the stated height of the overpass was and also asked me exactly what the height of the truck was. Before I started, there was a clearance light out and it had to be replaced before he ever got inside the truck. Sounds like he wanted to get you in and out as quick as possible.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
