    I'm been prehired by Swift, Werner, and Schneider in Fontana. I have an orientation for Swift in a couple of weeks. i have been out of trucking school four about a month, meaning i haven't driven a truck for a month. I'm afraid i'll be rusty when I have to take my road test, but i'm sure it'll come back to me once i start driving consistently. What will happen if I fail my road test?

    No job, but I would not worry overmuch, all they want to establish is that your not gonna kill anyone. Stay calm, tell them you got butterflies BEFORE you start the truck and you should be ok. You are not taking a test to show your ready to go out on your own, just that ready to be trained.
    Good Luck, and be safe.

    Twenty lashes and only a half serving of gruel for the next week.

    Try not to be too nervous.

    at transam all we had to do was go up the road a couple miles and back just that we knew what to do no one failed first road test. after u get back from being with a trainer then they see if u are ok by yourself. Biggest thing to know is you arent ready to be by yourself. IF it has wheels i have driven it over last 40 years but OTR is brand new to me every shipper is different every reciever different Today I got yelled at for stopping at the guardshack He says just back into any open door tell us which one your in my mouth fell open other places will yell if your 5 feet over the line at security go figure
