<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stephendipity, post: 4084731, member: 146397&quot;]As I tried to explain, it&#039;s a setup!&nbsp; The examiner (and likely most of&nbsp; them in TN) fails certain students as a matter of &#039;policy&#039;.&nbsp; I suspect&nbsp; it&#039;s because of the recent scandals (as w/Swift) where certified testing&nbsp; schools were giving out &#039;illegal&#039; CDL&#039;s. Evidence of this is that you can&#039;t get an appt for Road Test sooner than 3 weeks!&nbsp; That&#039;s almost certainly because most people are &#039;returning for another try&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Apparently, it didn&#039;t used to be &#039;that hard&#039;.&nbsp; I know people who have got CDL&#039;s more than 5 years ago without ever doing a Pre-trip; just drive around the block, back it up into a space, and get the CDL.</p><p>Now it seems common that most people fail the first time or 2.&nbsp; If you don&#039;t touch something (even if you point at it), or if you don&#039;t say the required &#039;key words&#039; (contained in &#039;their&#039; manual - and different states ARE a little different; they have different &#039;check boxes&#039; on their test form <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ), they take off points. They ask you to do a &#039;partial pre-trip&#039;, which means that with only 40 or so points to make, they don&#039;t have to take many points off to fail you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
