    Another option is to become a package handler/switcher at FedEx ground, you'll get plenty of experience backing.

    I just read your original post and that you’re thinking to quit? Your original school is one test and that’s all you get?

    Seriously you want to quit because of on inconvenience.. That’s sad imo.

    When I was in school at Sage, this woman came in with the biggest smile on her face thanking the instructor. Turns out that she failed something crazy like 16 times! She never freaking gave up!

    Pull your big boy/girl pants up and get it done..no one likes a quitter.

    Go back to that original school and do what you have to do.

    Good luck
     
    AkIceRoad Thanks this.

    Yes I am back in a different school. I was just looking for other options besides this horrible turn mill I attended first.

    Excellent!
    Fact is many fail the first time so don’t beat yourself up over it.

    You have specific problems with any of your maneuvers just come back and post a new thread. There’s a great group of people here who are willing to give you some pointers.

    Yup. Failed my first backing test as well. Get back up on that horse and do NOT quit. You WILL get it.
