    2. I did skills and pretrip, then didn't stay in gear in a turn, which failed me.

    Well I tested again yesterday and I did get out on the road test part this time , but I did not shift gears good enough for the tester . I tell ya I have only about 1 hour total behind the wheel over 4 different times about 15 mins each time of driving at the school I went thru and that is not enough to get smooth at at all . I am seeing why the school has about about a 99% return rate for retest . I finished the class in Oct . I tested at the end of November and when I failed that one I got a retest date for late December and with each test date you get to more days in the school to practice very little road time at all mostly waiting to get in a truck on the yard to do back up maneuvers .

    So at this point I am considering going to a company that trains you to drive like Prime I am just not getting enough real drive time to pass the CDL test and it is costing more and more money and time .

    Passed permit test, road test and written all on first try.. I mean it not rocket science lol the real test is when u get out on the road on ur own and lost in the middle of chicago or baltimore surrounded by truck restricted roads at night in the snow and ice and u got to find a way out

    Twice. I failed the first time because I thought I had to be perfectly in the box for parallel parking, so I kept pulling up and correcting, and tapped the curb a couple times. I did all that even though all I had to do was just get the truck in the box, regardless if it was perfectly straight or not. Second time around I passed like a breeze.

    So at this point I decided to go to Millis and go to the school there to keep from wasting more time and money at the school local I went to and never got very little drive time and continue to fail the driving portion over and over again at the DMV test .
