Got My CDL -- Missed Points on my Road/Driving Test -- Does it matter?

Hello all. I'm a proud CDL holder as of this morning. Scheduled to start orientation at Roehl Monday morning.

I did my road/driving test this morning at the 3rd party school/tester I've been attending the past month. I obviously passed my road/driving test, but missed more points than I think I should have. It was the tester's very first evaluation he had ever done. An experienced tester was in the back seat. They spent much of the time talking to each other about the route, and even disagreeing about certain details. At the end of the route, the noobie tester told me that I did a good job, and passed. When I asked how many points I missed, he told me that I don't need to worry about that because passing is passing, and handed me my secret envelope to take to the MVD. I saw my points and score during the paperwork at the MVD though. I'm not happy.

I scored very high on all written tests, and missed zero points on backing/parking tests, and zero points on pre-trip inspection.

Anyway, here's my question... Do carriers and companies even have a way to know what my road/driving score is? Can they call the school or the MVD and ask what my road/driving score was? If so, then I'm not happy, because I was docked points that I absolutely disagree with. If it truly is a pass/fail thing, and future potential employers (including Roehl) will never know what my actual score is, then I'll just settle down and shrug it off.

I appreciate anyone who has first-hand knowledge or experience on this subject.

Thanks very much.

 

hahaha... True. But, being at the bottom of the class (or anywhere remotely near that point) is absolutely unacceptable for me.

It's important to me to make the very best impression to potential employers/customers/etc. And, if I am possibly going to lose out on preferred positions to other guys who had better scores on their road/driving test, then I'm not happy about that.

I'm hoping that you guys are right, and that I don't need to worry about that. I would like to think that Roehl will make their own assessment of my abilities and character during orientation and training the next few weeks, versus looking at the embarrassing score that I received this morning.

 

Thanks guys. I do feel better. I'll settle down now and shrug it off.

The group of students is getting together tomorrow, so I'll be interested to see what kind of scores the other three (3) guys ended up with who also had the noobie tester this morning.

Have a good one!

 

I'm gonna go buy some erasers right now.
