    If you have that cdl the test is idiot proof. I had to back into a space and run around the block. After 6 wks of practice you'll ace that test...

    If you can breath and goal, you'll pass. Just answer every question the way you think Swift wants it answered, not the way you would do it, not the way the mentor did it, not the way that makes the most sense.

    Well, the thing is, is that you'll be givin study material while on the road and i'm assuming while on there you will be learning stuff already on the quall-comm through experience that will help you through the quiz portion of the test (50 questions) which my recruiter said is a breeze. I'm wondering are you even going to have enough time to focus while learning to do everything? Are there any seperate things like backing etc when you come back?

    i remember you had to do one back and a quick drive around the block along with your quiz..

    nothing to it

    while your with your mentor you will have to do 26 or more backs that are written down

    Thanks MAXI, I'm just a little worried about the quiz portion due to the fact how can any company expect you to do well with-out sufficient time focused on reading or viewing the manual on a computer while your our trying to learn the job and see if you got what it take to become an OTR... I'm just saying and even the lady (Our dispatch) told us in orientation that it's a little weird....

    Think like swift and the quiz will be no problem. If you add common sense to quiz you will miss every question
