    What happened exactly? Did you fail the road test? Fail the pretrip test? Couldn’t you just retest?

    Plenty of people have failed one test or another, got retested and ended up doing fine.

    I was an instructor early 2000's. Our school trained students until they passed. It was always one area they could not quite understand. Pre-trip, backing, shifting etc. Some students grasp on easily, some are harder to train. The owner's motto was, "unless they wreck our truck or another vehicle, they will pass".

    not super uncommon, even at a mega. I got my CDL through a contract partner with Swift. Our class started with 17, and we had 6 by test day. Most classes were like that. A lot of people think this is easier than it is…

    Persistence pays -- big-time.

    He who dares -- wins.

    If you want it bad enough -- go back & get it.
