Took out a road sign on my CDL road test today...Now what?

Now I am just wondering about the accident report. Sure there's no ticket on my record, but I assume companies could still find the accident report, even if my company pays without going through insurance?

 

Maybe If I didn't have to spend so much time studying how to get their pre-trip BS exactly right, word for word how they want it, and parallel parking inside of cones, I could have practiced more actual driving in that time frame.

I see you joined in 2013. When did you get yours? I bet you couldn't even pass the pre-trip test if you walked in there today. I know the drivers who took me with 30 years experience saw the process and said if they lost their CDL, they'd probably just retire.

 

I took drama class for a semester in high school(huge mistake)
The pre-trip reminded me exactly what it was like to memorize a scrip for a play, not anything like anytime I learned how to do anything practical.

 

It just seems like the whole thing is designed to force you to sign up for a CDL school, when it's really not necessary. They've taken something non-academic and attempted to turn it into something academic.

I just feel like learning to do the pre-trip is one thing and learning to recite the thing word for word how they want is something completely different.
I could have spent a LOT more time practicing driving if I wasn't so pre-occupied with learning that non-sense. I mean am I learning to drive, or learning to be a diesel mechanic?
