    That dude onthefence wrote this..I was like um,miffed ..This was his account of Roehl testing..I don't know how you would forget to drive..but I guess maybe you could???:biggrin_25523:

    Well, this sucks. I passed my physical agility test, but failed my road test. It seems that in the month I was not driving a manual shifting turck, I forgot it all. Maybe it was nerves, but that doesn't matter. I am now in a hotel waiting until morning to get on a bus to go home to NY (1 day 2 hours). I already had a pre-hire with US Xpress, which I should have taken, so I will be going to them next. They use only automatics, so hopefully that will work out.

    That's a good one AT!!
    BTW I think disco balls have made a come back for those of you that siad you don't remember them.......since shag rug is also making a come back LOL!!



    Hamsterrock-sorry about not passing. Keep up your spirits! USX does use autos (the ex worked there) Volvos and Freightliners. Not bad for a bottom feeder IMHO. He ended up getting the Dollar tree regional run home every weekend. Money not bad. Hardest part was unloading the truck.

    I helped this guy out when he was having trouble with his straight back.

    Hope he does better at USXpress.

    Sammycat, Hamsterrock is talking about "Onthefence" not passing his road test at Roehl.

    He (Onthefence) was a guy I helped out when he was having trouble with his straight back an had failed his DMV test twice.

    Hamsterrock starts his orientation at Roehl on Monday, I believe.

    Hey Wedge,
    Finally Got a call from Crete, Wouldn't you know it the one school they stil hire out of is he one we're not enrolled at:biggrin_25510: maybe we can get it changed. The starting pay is pretty good the pay after a year is better, we'll see, anyway its another company on the list.
