    Just a question. What happens if you fail the company road test? Do they put that on your DAC? I'm not talking about going through training with a company, just "road testing" with them before they even do the drug screen.

    Why would they do a road test before knowing if you have drugs in your system or not?

    Not sure. I was told the road test is at 9 am with the safety guy and the drug test is at 2 pm along with the physical abilities test.

    As long as you don't mow down a State Trooper or flip the tractor trailer, if it's nothing but minor issues, it'll will more than likely just stay with the company, and more than likely, you'll get a chance to retest......unless you're caught with the boss's daughter....or something similar.

    yah not sure how you can fail a company driving test. its left, right and maybe backup. unless you run into a brick wall it has to be hard to fail

    I don't know, I'm sure I'm over thinking it. Limited time in a 10 speed fresh out of CDL school. I don't know if they are looking for safety issues or how proficient my shifting needs to be? Again I was just curious what happens if you fail a road test?

    i hve never seen that happen.
    most i have seen is drug test failures, lying on app.
    what they are looking for is this.

    1. can you shift gears
    2. can you make a corner saftely(NOT fast)
    3. can you control the truck/trailer
    4. when backing do you GOAL
