    Here in el Paso tx got to calm the nerves and get a good nights rest instructors have been saying nerves are mostly what gets students to fail. Hopefully I get a laid back examiner

    Totally true.. You have the skills that you are going to have for the foreseeable future.. you have trained and trained and you know what to do to pass the test. just listen carefully, do what you have been taught the way to were taught to do it, and just drive the truck.. it will be over in twenty or so minutes.. it will seem like an hour. DO NOT get up and glork down 10 cups of coffee.. you got this.. it's just another day of driving a truck that you already know how to drive... BREATHE!!!

    Been at it 13 years now, still get nervous about the road test. Let your skills do the
    talking for you! At this point they're not looking for a 20 year super trucker, just the
    basics from a safe driver......prove yourself as such......cake walk.....just carefully listen
    and follow instructions. You'll nail it!

    I know it is easier said than done. But try to stay relaxed, and focused. Listen to the instructions of the examiner. Good Luck! You'll know what to do.
