    One company I worked for did their road test during account specific training. In other words, going out with a trainer for the day to learn their computer work as far as load documentation and logging/entering pre trip information, etc.

    I got a job without a road test and a job which drug tested me and put me through 3 days of orientation before road testing me. It’s different everywhere.

    I also never had a road test. Everything was done over the phone. Than had 1 day training from one of the flatbed drivers, next day got the keys and was dispatched on a 2100 mile trip.

    If you've been driving for a number of years and there's no blemishes on your record, a road test seems a bit silly to me.

    I wouldn't worry about it.

    Every place I’ve ever worked. They did the driving test very last. And it was almost like a formality because I was totally hired in at that point. I assume unless I smashed into something or I really did something stupid which I didn’t. And it was never on the same day. It was a day or two later. You’re worrying yourself for nothing. They wouldn’t be scheduling drug tests and everything else if they didn’t intend to hire you. Go over your pre-trip. Make sure you get that right because that’s part of your test. And relax and don’t mess anything up you’ll have the job

    I was surprised at no mention of a road test too.
