    Get rid of the butterflies, trucks smell fear. LOL

    This is your first test out, right??? If you ace it, that would be superb, if not, there is another day.... so don't stress yourself too much. You have had great training and did very well in class. You know that you can do this, so go and do it. You will be just fine.
    What company did you choose to work for?

    Well, I didnt pass today. I had to pre trip the whole tractor and trailer. I didnt miss a lick at all untill I got to the in cab. I was doing my pressure release test and got the numbers mixed up. Instead of saying 4 psi for brakes applied, I said 3; vice versa for brakes released. It was a stupid mistake I have never made before, I guess I made it from nervousness. I retake the test next tuesday.

    JB, I'm sorry you got so nervous. It sounds like you know your stuff though. Just take a deep breath and relax. I'm sure with all the hard work you've done so far, it'll pay off next Tuesday!!!!
