Fresno California CDL test center
I was 7 am right out of the gate, Examiner was a pretty stiff younger guy possibly mid early late 20's. I hear one of the worst to get, a by the book guy.
I scored 89 on pretrip air breaks. I tried to lighten the mood a little bit and got little smiles. Somehow I encroached on the straightback and scored 6 points. I knew I was in a bad way haha. We moved on to a right offset. This is where I failed, and honestly don't know what happened, I had been nailing them all day before and I guess I didn't get close enough for a good faith, well It all went to ###### after that, he was upset I was Upset he warned me about him resetting me, I said I'll do it. I started to reset and do the same process and bang he stopped me. I still feel great about myself, I did well and wasn't letting my nerves get the better of me. I'll Knock it down next friday. I can drive the hell out of the truck. I will not quit until I pass

You'll get it. Just like anything else, it takes practice. just think, it's not like you're backing between two long hood Pete's at 4am, in the rain, after a 14 hr day, with their ugly drivers and their ugly dogs staring at you, just waiting for you to hit their pride'n'joy.

Nail that test then the real fun can start.

Patalell blindside back did me in on my final cdl test, I think that is the same manuever as right offset.

Did you eventually pass? I've had a real bad experience at this school. Typical CDL mill stories, from what I read it's on a epidemic proportion nation wide. I'm very concerned I might not even get it 1st #3 tries.

Failed today my second try, 2 points off straightback. Went straight into sight side parallel, Left is my weak side. I got it in beautifully eventually but was at 12 points. Done. I would of aced the offset too. Looks like I wont be going back till the 30th. I'm devastated, crushed. I've seen so many of my peers pass and IDK, I just don't know. I'm really under the gun now to pass 3rd try

Sorry to hear that. Are you able to go back and practice at your school?
