    Nerves get to us all, but again it was mentioned earlier that the road test to get your cdl one thing but real world is a different story. Heck try getting failed for not double clutching lol...

    just take a deep breath next time relax and stay focused and you will find when you are done you did a good job and have a cdl to further your career. Crap happens and you will get through it

    Are they making you start all over from the beginning, pretrip, range shills and road test. Don't have to be in that order but are supposed to al be done in the same session.
