ha! My trainer during the past month (not this morning's tester) told me the same thing... that his job is to teach us everything that we need to know in order to meet all the required DOT tests and requirements. And that we shouldn't be surprised when the stuff that we learn on the job is very different from what we learned during "school".

Dont worry about it believe me you will still make the same 26cpm as the guy who scored 100 the big companies could care less.All they want is somebody in their truck for the least amount of money as possible.Since you just graduated ur at the bottom no matter what you did in school.Good luck and do good at ur company then you wont be at the bottom by this time next year.
LaBubba Thanks this. -

I will be completing phase 1 training (flatbed) at the Phoenix terminal. Worked out nicely, since I happen to live here.
Best wishes to you. Enjoy the experience. -
Congrats on your new CDL!
papawheelie Thanks this. -
You need to prepare yourself for much more frustrating and unfair experiences than this if you want to survive your first year OTR. That tester taught you one of the best lessons you could have learned about trucking - - not to sweat things you can't control. If you do, you'll burn out quickly.

it cost me maybe ten seconds or so, I have learned many new trades ..... I scored 92 on the driving, what matters is how inane the written was and now I see I have to go to the same study area for HAZMAT so focus on whatever is in front of you now that you have license -
