My wife and I are currently in a Watkins / Shepard accepted CDL school. We have orientation slated for Feb. in NC. We plan to team drive. We want to know how strict our driving expectations will be when we are at orientation... For example: Will we be sent home for bumping a curb? We both are improving every day. We have not started driving off of the school property yet, just a lot backing every day.. We are excited about the possibility of working for W/S. Can anyone tell us about what to expect or give us any tips?
Thank you for your time.

If your going to Conover then there is nothing to worry about. The city driving part of the test is downtown Hickory from what I remember. When I finished Tim asked RL how I did on the city driving and I butted in an said that wasn't city driving that was back country driving for me. I took my driving test around Newark, NJ. Again, you both will be fine. They will make sure you do good since you are teaming.
