    In ellenwood, i never got tested on pre tripping. they just sorta told us to go pre trip the trucks and they would be out there in a few to start. As long as you show progress then you wont have anything to worry about. Just listen to them and they will teach you what your doing wrong if anything. The two guys in my group had trouble with shifting so we went to the outer road of the atlanta speedway and he let them drive around just shifting from 2nd to 8th then back down. They dont want you to fail.

    Nuh uhh! lol.

    You will learn more on trip planning during your orientation then again with your trainer. No worries.
