    Don't sweat it, many far less than you passed, probably shouldn't have though. Wish the ones that did had a better attitude like you though.

    Rumor is next year they plan on changing the CDL skills tests to just straight back and offset, no parallel parking. And only 45 itemized pre-trip items. Couldn’t find any sources on this.

    More than likely it will just be pulse or no pulse. Pass

    Good for you!
    Now find a company with a good training program because in all honesty , CDL school is just enough to get you to pass the test.
    A good trainer will make all the difference in setting you up for success in trucking

    Maryland to offer ‘modernized’ CDL skills test

    Trial program that may spread to the rest of the country. I believe you will still get trained on dock and parallel, but not tested.

    Congratulations on passing. Having to redo all 3 parts is crazy though.
