The reason why checking transmission fluid before you start the vehicle up is an accurate reading because all fluids done settled. Now on the other hand if vehicle has been running all day or night,,,, then it's good to start the vehicle and check it. Once an old mechanic told me the best accurate reading on your transmission fluid is when you put the vehicle in gear and check it .

I'm a fleet technician and I have a few things to say about your pre-trip section of the video. Normally the engine oil is black due to soot produced by the power stoke in a diesel engine. It does not necessarily mean it needs changed. If you first start the truck after a fresh oil change, it will be just as dark as the "old oil". Secondly, diesel trucks normally don't have a "reservoir" like cars do, they actually "expansion tanks". If you see you fluid level low in the expansion tank, try starting the truck for a minute or two and turn it off. A lot of the times the coolant level will rise to the normal levels. Now if you constantly having to top off you fluid level, by all means check for leaks. However, I've seen multiple times were the expansion tank will crack due to being over pressurized from the extra coolant added. Thirdly, the transmission fluid can be checked with the truck off, the truck does not have to be on. The transmission is not like an automatic in a car where the car has an "oil pump" inside the transmission to lubricate and pressurize solenoids and passageways in the transmission body. Class 6-8 trucks (like yours) actually have "automated manual" transmissions. They all have clutches and have gears like a manual transmission. They are all manual transmissions expect the "automatic" transmissions are shifted with computerized solenoids instead of a stick controlled by the driver. If you were to remove the transmission top-hat and install a stick and a clutch pedal, you would turn your automated-manual into a true manual transmission. The oil is slashed lubricated with the truck in gear and driving, that is why it is harmful to coast in neutral, you can starve the secondary driven gears of oil.

Great video, but I would not have drove my truck on their driveway. I use to do LTL pick up and delivery and if you break that driveway that's on you and if you knock down those trees that's on you. You could have also damaged your truck. Those residential customers will complain about any little thing just to try to get a dollar out of you. I would have dropped that freight at the end of the driveway and kept it moving. I always dropped freight at the end of the drive when I was delivering. They can pay you extra to drag it to the garage.
