Got a road test with celadon next week. I have 6 months experience local but haven't been in a truck in two months and haven't driven a manual since school . I was never bad at it I was actually one of the better guys in my class as far as shifting gears but it's been a year and I refuse to ride with a trainer. Does anyone know the details of celadon road test ?
I think I lost my Mojo

You will either ride with a trainer or team with another driver at your level. You need to look at it from their POV. Went to school a year ago, six months local and hasn't driven in two months. Refresher training is in your future. Pretty much any company would want that. try a company that runs autos is another choice.
How bad you want to work?CrappieJunkie Thanks this. -
Never going back to autos because of this reason right here. I'm a good driver I get it done I know what I'm doing I just don't think I need to ride with a trainer for something that will click in one day .

Ok you lost your mojo but no training needed correct?
passingthru69, CrappieJunkie, 4mer trucker and 3 others Thank this. -
Just was wondering if it were possible the company might let me bobtail a bit around the yard . I need this local job for personal reasons just don't want to mess it up for something stupid like scrapping a few gears.

It is literally like riding a bike. You never forget.
Your refusal to accept a trainer or instruction will hurt you. Try to understand we are here to help you evolve and get good. Someday YOU will be called on to teach someone.
I spent ten years away from a truck until they called me in to shuffle trailers to support a production complex at the base in Jaxville. And I discovered that my own worries are unfounded. A few moments with the tractor and backing a trailer down is all good. Takes about a hour for the rust to break off and usually a few days roaming the area to really settle down.
There is a lack of expectation from a new student. A little more is expected from those with a few years experience and a Manual transmission will become a asset in a increasing automatic (Manual Endorsement on CDL Anyone? Don't laugh...) world. And Im very hard on those who have a decade or more. I expect them to run better than me.
Take a deep breath, enjoy your chance to get out there. You will be ok.Florida Playboy and TruckerWill54 Thank this. -
X1Heavy you right I think I'm over thinking it to much. I will never turn down good advice but this position requires me to get it right the first time or it goes to someone else . I'm just worried because I need this real bad never been otr and local jobs for a guy with my experience don't come by too often. but I got this.
