Just repetition and do it with a partner and correct each other
my school made one and i have one but it was made in canada and i think they shut their site down .
JJ Keller makes videos for about everything, but they run anywhere from $100-$200 each.
get the pre trip sheet turn it over and start going through the steps in your mind and you will remember or get out and preform it on your personal vehicle repetition man repetition
Sounds like a great market to make one. I have found one put out by a certified Calif truck driving school instructor dealing with Swift graduates. You can go to his site at TruckEd101.com and order his pre-trip dvd for around $40+ .
His name is Shannon and I have the dvd myself since I've been off the road for many years and obviously things have changed where thats related. I thought the dvd was worth the price compared to others I came across. He also includes the state instructor's score sheet with the purchase so you know what you're dealing with.
I took a tape recorder to school with me and I recorded the instructor going through the pretrip. When I got back to the hotel room every night I'd listen to it trying to visualize what part of the truck he was pointing to. It worked for me. I even made it into a MP3 so I could play it on the PC and loop it. I still got it somewhere.
