    Gave me a flashback of my dump truck driving days...that old Mack was the best dump truck I ever drove though. Pulled hard and it would roll on down the highway too...that helps when your getting paid by the load.

    You do not have to run the entire gearbox on a road test,just forget the little red button altogether.

    Makes sense. They are probably more concerned with me not jumping over curbs and putting lightpoles in the side of the trailer. LOL

    I guess I'm just nervous about the test as a whole. I've been out of school for 3 weeks and haven't driven since. I feel like school was over when I was just starting to get a feel for the truck. The school said I can come down and practice a couple hours for free in preparation for the test because they want to see me get hired. Like I said earlier, I just want to be super prepared as best I can, but the more I think about it, I feel sick to my stomach.
