    Lol! Looks like a Class C (passenger van or limo) HOWEVER once upon a time in a land not that far away from my house (lol), I did have a pre-hire T/T “road test” with the regional safety director and one other new driver in a company car. We also went to get lunch. In his defense: It was hard as heck to get that job unless you knew someone (who had a good record) and, they really didn’t road test. It was a Multi-BILLION dollar global 4PL. Also, in their defense, it was an experienced local driver account with minimum 3 years continuous OTR experience and clean MVR. It was a gravy gig. We had a BUNCH of older drivers including a few part timers who had already retired from the company. I took a lot of naps. Got tricked, I mean promoted into Operations without asking. Gravy turns to Gas really quick: I paid them back for ALL of those naps after I got promoted. They worked the CRAP out of me. I only made 95k (salary plus miles) in Ops. Made 79k as a driver, a few drivers with seniority made 85k. They all drove their corvettes, boats and motorcycles to Safety meetings, lol. I miss them all most days but, I happily went back to OTR O/O- less stress...
