    Op never did answer me.Anyway if you still have to go ahead of the DMV,think you have the pretrip,skills test and road test all the same day unless Florida you don't have to.

    Sorry Patty, missed your question.

    Florida state doesnt require you to pass all 3 tests in one day, they have to be completed within your permit period which is 180 days. The tests are conducted onsite at Roadmasters facility being some of the instructors are state certified instructors.

    They day I tested (of all days) the state examiner showed up to test my school tester at the same time. So I had actually 2 examiners. Wanna talk about nerves!

    What the state examiner did was test me at the same time the school instructor did and then they compare test scores on each of their sheets to make sure they both came up with the same results....

    My Friend, though you are passing all of this and think you got it down, do not eve stop getting better, I have been at this a while and I seek improvement everyday I do the same thing I did yesterday, I'm not perfect and so neither are you, don't ever arrive at perfection, that is when you start to fail, and 1 or 2 mishaps in this business will put you on the outside looking in. I wish you luck, stay positive and learn from others as you watch them, I see guys doing things everyday and think "Man you are short lived around these parts doing that like that" Most of these guys can't stand to be told what they are doing wrong so let them go, but learn from your mistakes. Good Luck. Stay Safe!

    Thanks Luv, I've never been one to assume I know everything about anything in life....I know this skill is not easy to master and I would never assume for a second that I am "perfect" at it.

    Before this I was a driver( straight truck)/electrician....as being an electrician, the moment I think I have mastered my skill, reality puts me back in check with a little bit of a buzz now and again....im sure trucking is the same way without the buzz but rather a bang!

    I agree,the day you think you're perfect or know everything is the day to hang up your keys.Excellent advice you gave.
