Do a whole inspection, it will make you look good. Dont take shortcuts. Take your time and be safe!! You need to make them feel you are the best driver they can hire.
And relax, you are not asking for approval, you are showing them how good you areborn&raisedintheusa, 12 ga, SLANT6 and 1 other person Thank this. -

I gonna bet you will go to a tractor and pretrip it, do air brake test ect... then go hook a trailer, check if you stop before hook and check plate, ect... pre trip trailer, pull test air brake test, ect.. take off, once out the gate, maybe 10 mile test, check your up and down shift, stopping distance, awareness, mirrors, signals...ect.. a few turns under or over highways to check speed and lane awareness, onto highway, off highway, to check speed and awareness, then some backing. Probably an offset. Top of my head guess. You got it Ace.

I'd definitely fail a road test. Too much bad habits.
