Haven't driven in a while, going to Schneider. pretty nervous

i'm in the same boat, what i do is pretend there not over there and drive like normal, sure your gonna mess up , but be a pro about it, after the test , they will tell you what you need too know and get it done

 

Don't know about Schneider, but most of the mega carriers' road tests are pretty simple. Don't hit any curbs and hopefully you remember how to shift.

 

yeah road tests are cake, remember to GOAL before u backup good luck!

 

Use every basic safety function


As far as shifting ... if you show them you understand the concept, you'll b fine...

Every truck drives different and takes some getting used to.

 

Just be as cool as you can, USE your mirrors, and SAFE. They know it's been awhile , being rusty's ok. Thier looking for the diamond in the rough not one all polished up. You will get the roadtest done up front sometime on the first day ( you may get a little parking lot practice) when you pass they will probobly send you out with a trainer for a couple days or longer if you need the help.
Relax, it will all come back (except the shifting! your gonna grind em )

 

Good Luck!!!!!!

 

Hey Greesywheel, you didn't have to do a refresher course before going to Schneider?

 

I went through Schneider orientation last month. You have absolutely NOTHING to worry about. NOTHING!
