    If you're testing at Mount Joy Votec, they're pretty nice people there. You should do ok. Just relax, and do what you were taught. Here's a hint. When doing the pre-trip, when you check out the wheels and assemblies, such as suspension and brakes, when you get done with the first wheel, point to the others and say, " I will do the same to that wheel, and that wheel, etc. When I was an instructor at MTA school years ago, that's how we had our students do it, and it was o.k. with the tester. After you say it, ask if he wants you do physically do it. I think with the way it will be raining tomorrow, they'll tell you not to worry about it.
    Good luck tomorrow, and remember to brake slowly on the wet roads. We're pulling for you!

    The reason people complain about these schools mainly comes down to there attitude going into it .

    I didn't even know there was a testing site in Mt. JOY PA and I live like 25 miles from there ... hahaha lol

    Wow, small world. My step dad was an instructor at Mount Joy VoTech long ago. Welding not trucking. I lived in Willow Street then. I have a niece that lives in Mount Joy.

    Just stay calm is the most important thing. Don't curb your tires and watch for them bridge height signs. You'll pass one and then he'll ask you the height.
