Abstract
Pre-Trip
Inspection
of the
truck
and
trailer
is
one
of the
components
of the
current
Commercial
Driver�s
License
(CDL)
test.
This
part
of the
CDL
test
checks
the
ability
of the
student
to
identify
the
important
parts
of the
commercial
vehicle
and their
potential
defects.
The
Virtual
Check
Ride
System
(VCRS)
, a
computer-based
application
,
is
an
assessment
and
feedback
tool
that
mirrors
the
inspection
component
of the
actual
CDL.
The
VCRS
has
provided
an
after
action
review
(AAR)
via
a
feedback
session
that
helps
in
identifying
and
correcting
drivers�
skill
in
inspecting
parts
and for
overall
safety.
The
purpose
of this
research
is
to
determine
the
effectiveness
of the
VCRS
in
truck
driving
training
programs.
An
experimental
study
was
conducted
with
truck
driving
students
at
Mid
Florida
Tech
,
located
in
Orlando
,
Florida.
The
students
were
divided
into
control
and
experimental
groups.
Students
in the
both
groups
received
regular
training
provided
by
Mid
Florida
Tech.
The
experimental
group
received
additional
training
by
making
use
of the
VCRS.
A
total
of
three
paper-based
tests
were
given
to
all
subjects
during
first
three
weeks;
one
test
at the
end
of a
week.
Both
groups
were
given
the
same
paper-based
tests.
A
two-way
analysis
of
variance
was
conducted
to
evaluate
the
effect
of the
VCRS
in the
experimental
group.
This
analysis
found
a
significant
difference
between
control
and
experimental
groups.
This
effect
showed
that the
students
in the
experimental
group
increased
their
performance
by
using
VCRS.
Moreover
, there was a
main
effect
in the
scores
of
each
week.
However
, there was not an
interaction
between
the
two
factors.
Follow
up
Post
Hoc
tests
were
conducted
to
evaluate
the
pair-wise
differences
among
the
means
of the
test
week
factors
using
a
Tukey
HSD
test.
These
Post
Hoc
comparisons
indicated
that the
mean
score
for the
third
week�s
test
scores
were
significantly
better
than the
first
week�s
test
score
in the
experimental
group.
It
was
concluded
that the
VCRS
facilitated
learning
for the
experimental
group
and that
learning
also
occurred
for
both
groups
as a
result
of
repeated
testing.
