    Hi Sharmi, doesn't look good. IDK about the roll thru the yield, but something is sending up a red flag with the testers. I can understand failing once, but the 2nd time should be a breeze. Not sure if that goes on record somewhere, he failed 3 times, but future employers may be wary of that. I know that might not be what you want to hear, but it may be time to cut your losses and try something else. Good luck.

    Oh my goodness this sounds awful !!!!!!!! My husband is a very gentle person who gets nervous easily.. He doesn't drink or do drugs and has a very clean driving record.. his confidence is at an all time low now .. and am so happy to get suggestions from this forum.

    Thank you so so much

    He failed 3 times??? Are you kidding me!!! We had a guy fail 6 times here on TTR. It happens. Tell him to calm down. He will pass. If he wants it bad enough, he will pass. Sometimes it takes a lot of patience.
     
    Big Don and Sharmi2k Thank this.

    He's gotta chill. That's it. Don't get too excited. PAY ATTENTION (big one there).

    Hi Sharmi, I don't mean to be a wet blanket, apparently it's possible to fail many times and still get into trucking,,,, eventually. To me it seems weird, failing so many times. I know, if I was to drive again, I'd have to go through a refresher course, which would be a slap in the face, as I have over 2.5 million accident free miles in my career, and if some bozo failed me, I'd probably punch them in the teeth. Like others say, step back, take a breather, who knows, 4 could be the charm.
     
    Sharmi2k Thanks this.

    I know its easier said then done but your husband needs to relax.All him being nervous will do is unfortunately make more mistakes.I feel his pain because that was once me.I also think having an instructor work one on one with your husband will help greatly.It did me.I got lucky and had an instructor all day just him and I and because of that I passed.My weakness was my alley dock backing.
