    I was under the impression that you were going to team with your hubby.

    If I gave that impression I apologize. While I will go on the road with him now and then, it won't be as a co-driver...maybe a backseat one tho :biggrin_255:

    4 students went to test out last Friday. Only 1 passed and sadly it wasn't my hubby :biggrin_25513: One guy ran over a curb. But they all missed for mirrors and stopping at stop signs. The tester felt they all needed to stop sooner. And with 7 stop signs the points racked up fast.

    The upside is he is home for another 2 weeks :biggrin_2559: and has a chance to fine tune his shifting and knowing what the examiner is looking for should make a huge difference as well.

    Don't panic. I failed 2 tests before I passed. Clipped a curb 1st time (my fault); 2nd was cut off during tight turn and barely touched the curb with sidewall. Passed with flying colors on the 3rd run. 2 years later and I'm the top driver on my team (at least that's what the boss says) and being looked at to head up a new team.

    Sometimes bad luck or a overly tight tester happens. Relax, breath deep, and chalk it up to a learning experience. Sometimes a little adversity makes for a great foundation.

    Thank you for sharing that Palazon. I often see where people pass their cdl tests, but it isn't often I see where they didn't. But I am finding that its almost the norm to fail the first time.

    I am a firm believer in things happening for a reason. Hubby doesn't mind too much :biggrin_25524: in his mind, its extra practice time and 2 more weeks to sleep in his own bed :biggrin_25522:
