Well its funny that I'm reading this. I guess I'll see you on Thursday. I am unable to get out of work that much so I was unable to do more practice time. I'm going in blind on this new truck. How is it driving?. Any issues that I need to know about the "retest truck" much appreciated

I tried to call the school at around 5.10 and it appears that it goes to some apartment complex or something. This is not good. I noticed you said you went to Dalton for your test. From what I understand the new test will be in gainsville. But reading this it concerns me that it may indeed be in Dalton and now I cannot get a hold of the school. Pls respond

For me the truck is the same truck that I tested in the first time as I am scheduled to test in #103 the old freightliner. The only thing really different with it is that you pull all of the turn out of the wheel not just frieghtliner/volvo/eagle straight.To be honest I do not know where we are testing. I was assuming the location would be the same as the last place I went to test honestly forgot about Gainsville, I will double check tomorrow and try and post at lunch if not when I make it home. Last time it went straight to Katie for me, the time before I called I got their answering service but that was on the weekend.

I think I was in 103. Maybe it was 102. Was it the one with the jacked up mattress in the back and the plate missing on the gear shifter? Lol. I passed all the skills stuff but as sad as it sounds I left the switch up and tried to take off in 8th gear. As it turns out that does not work. Ha. Well I must stay focused and double check the switch this time and it should be ok. If it is gainsville I can tell you a few little things about the road part. Let me know tomorrow and I'll try and call earlier as well. Also, do you happen to know what instructor is going to the test?
-
Oh your the weekender that tested on a Wednesday previously correct? If so you all went in 103 because we were mad we wouldn't have it the day before we tested. I think you may actually be scheduled on 106 the Volvo. I can verify tomorrow if you send me a PM with your name I will check the list. Yeah, my nerves got me made some stupid mistakes doing my parallel so got skills and road. Felt good in the yard today felt like it all was still in my mind like it hadn't been a month like it has.
-
Sorry for black balling you on the truck on your last test. Yea they may be sending people to where they took the test the first time. Any word on how the Volvo drives?. I haven't heard anything about it but maybe you have some insight. Hope their phone works tomorrow because it's coming down to the wire. Thanks for any information you can find tomorrow. Pm incoming

I was in it out on the road today just me and instructor so go a whole hour and half of road time. it rides good the clutch is finicky but aren't they all at the school? Other than clutch it feels good.
-
Well it is my great honor to say that I am now the proud owner of a Ga Class A CDL. Yard skills went really well and the road went well. Except for the month long delay, all in all a good experience. Thanks for all the pointers and things to keep in mind along the way. Now to land that first job!
-
Good work. It was nerve wrecking for sure going in there the second time. I don't know what I would have done if I had to go tell everyone I blew it again. This is a good day for you and me. Good luck on finding that job. I'm sure you can hunt around on here for a while and I can tell you how covenant is going once I get out there. Thanks for the thread. Was interesting to read.
RichardCranium86 Thanks this.
