    Not sure what's involved now. I went around the block calling out all signs and backed b/w some cones. I wouldn't worry about it, just don't run anybody over. Oh ya there's also a written test. Can't remember what it was about, probably trip planning and such. Once you get out of training you will be good to go, or your trainer shouldn't let you off the truck. Good Luck.

    The road test consists of doing a pre trip, driving around town and backing in between two trailers. It's pretty simple. The written test is easy as well. The questions are pretty simple. If you can't pass the tests, you have no business driving the truck. Don't stress too much about it. Just relax and learn to live on the road.
