As my instructor at school always told us. Just Drive the Truck. Aint that big a deal. Driving is the easy part. Take a deep breath and think positive.

Interesting development: Apparently USA Truck does not require a road test for student drivers. If I had known that I would have applied here first. So, I have made it past day 1. At least I know that I will not be released for failing a road test. Thursday is the last official day of orientation. We'll see how the rest of the week goes.
123456, wulfman75 and notezbngrn71 Thank this. -

I would still let them know your situation, so they provide you one of their lead instructors. This will help you be successful. I know the guy that trained me would would have pitched a fit If I was unable to atleast up shift through the gears and recover a missed shift. He was a great trainer and gave me a pass when missed a shift on a down shift and helped me become a skilled driver. It seems that most of the training companies have trainers or finishers with high expectations.

Would probably be a little less stressful situation if you go out on a company truck. Seems alot of folks get trained by L/O or O/O. I can see where that could be a problem.

Not to question you,
but I thought a road test was mandatory. Maybe not if going with a trainer.
Perhaps you lucked out.
Be up front with your trainer, so nobody gets hurt !!
Good Luck, keep us updated !!! -
Maybe it is the way they are wording it. Did you hear this from a recruiter? They may just be testing you on the premises. Central Ref does not take you on a road test either but they test your skills on premises with a series of tests of backing and cones and such.
