    Just curious, who's buying the bus ticket? You or them?

    Who graded your road test. If it was the guy that does the Qualcomm class; he is really laid back and easy on the road test.

    I did my road test with him with snow and ice on the roads. The empty trailer was wanting to slide all over the place, but just took nice and easy. He wanted me to go a little faster, but I told him no that 45mph was the fastest speed I felt safe at and would not go faster. He was cool with that.

    I am sorry that it didn't work out for you, and understand your frustration. I wish you luck in whatever endeavors you set upon from here.

    My road test consisted of driving down a straight road for a few miles, then giving way to the next driver (we had 4 testing). Hard to fathom that anyone could/would fail it. You must have really made an impression, which obviously goes both ways.

    When I go for a road test I tend to freak out because I know I am being graded and I tense up. I grind gears and am a nervous wreck but I tell them before hand that I am going to be nervous as heck and that I will scrape gears and probably mess up on a couple things. I am told no problem that they understand and we go on the test. So far I haven't ran over anybody so it must be ok.

    There is usually something else wrong that they discovered like on either your background or drug test. That they will not reveal to you if that was the case. It is easier for them to just say you failed the road test.

    Well they had all the info they needed...I was upfront with them from the very get go... All I can say is jct is a crap outfit...I have no respect for them...if it's what they found on background check I already disclosed that to them from the first contact because it's involving my current divorce right now...I guess what I found out is jct are liars...

    I would raise hell til I found out the real reason. That way I knew what I needed to fix. After all, it does concern my future employability.

    Are you sure it wasn't something on your DAC, CSA, or PSP you didn't know about? Those would be the places I would start.
