    Wasnt there, not accusing but drawing a conclusion based on what I know of Mike and the maturity you're displaying in this thread.

    JCT isnt perfect and nobody has tried to claim otherwise. We're very open about the aggravating things. That said you're supposed to be an experienced driver. You were taking a road test that's almost purely about observing your ability to drive safely. It's not about what you think is safe, its entirely about what the observer thinks. He has a job and he did it.

    That said. My purely subjective opinion is you probably copped an attitude with Mike at some point. That alone would probably send you home from orientation.

    Got the load delivered to Stater Bros. Had one case of smoothies rejected because of a leaking bottle. OS&D said dispose of it. Ok. Will do. The five good bottles are now in my fridge. They are tasty. Strawberry banana smoothies.

    I'm planning on coming back in a couple of weeks. With any luck, the 2015's will be in and I'll get my automatic!

    Got my next load. Pick up at cold storage in Vernon, Ca going to Hatfield, Pa. 2704 miles! Hope they don't swap this on me. The last swap cost me 1000 miles.

    I wish all my loads was like my last one... 15k in the box and I was getting 9.5 mpg @ 55. I just wish it had been more than 300 miles.

    Although, I'd run 300 mile loads everyday with no complaints at all if they were all 15k!

    I'd say that probably did it, right there. While ya gotta do what you gotta do in the "real world", on road tests we have to make sure nobody is inconvenienced in the least during our maneuvers because you never know when that clueless 4-wheeler in the "real world" is going to have their head buried in their cell phone texting while you're trying to turn.

    I was already halfway into turn when the car came through the other intersection enroute to where I was turning...I could care less...maybe it's good I didn't stay with such a ridiculous co.
