    Hi,

    I'm trying to take the Indiana CDL driving test. I've taken the test 4 times twice with one examiner and twice with another. Each examiner has their own set of rules to follow. One examiner was very intent on having me check the frame of the truck under the hood and to the rear of the cab, which I don't have a problem with but the fact that it's not in the book??!!

    The other examiner in the another city had me go down streets that I had to "Button Hook" to make ( Which is illegeal) and took me down streets where I had hit branches, clearly, no one else had been down that street with a truck that size!!??

    And afterwards failed me because I touched a curb and told me I needed more than 2.5 weeks of training?

    I went to school in Ohio and went out with two different instructors and both times passed with flying colors. My pre-trip and skills I passed with flying colors, I trained with a 1998 Freightliner w/ sleeper and a 53 foot trailer. 9 speed trans.

    It seems that examiners in Indiana can do anything they want or have I been blackballed somehow with Indiana Examiners?

    Please advise,

    Thanks!
