The last and only road test I took was in 1980.

Pulling forward and then stopping in a certain space is exactly what you do at a scale house ...what Are you confused about?? You stop in a certain spot to weigh your steers or drives....there's usually an arrow pointing down as well...brian991219 and O.Henry Thank this.

It's not the stopping that bothers me, it's the fact you're not allowed to stop before the box and GOAL. It's a one-and-done chance.

I guess it's simply can you follow instructions as if it was a DOT officer and he tells you stop right here....or when pulling up to a guard shack.....being smooth and not stopping make for less jerky movementstscottme Thanks this.

Does the guy in the scale house speak Hindi? Or just bring up the translator app on the phone and shove it back and forth and make those faces at one another....

Just finished the CDL class and I graduated Aug. 27th. Yep, you have to do a forward stop in a 3ft box and only stop once. One of my classmates did a double stop and lost 5 points on the forward stop. When he did the forward offset with the trailer wheels in the 3ft box he missed that to and took 5 more points and he failed. Just find you a spot on the pavement to look down on and you will be ok on your forward stop.

We were taught to watch the tall cone on the right side of truck .as you approach it and it disappears count 1 Mississippi 2 Mississippi and brake your usually right there might have to find tune your count depending on speed,seat height etc but always do same speed and seat location.good luckChinatown, tscottme and FredTheBasset Thank this.

Another question: If you run a red light on the road test, obviously you fail, but... does the examiner give you a citation?
