Classroom work and a couple of maneuvers. Final company road, backing, and PTI tests. The backing is between two trailers in a very tight "docking" area. To help with real world situations. PTI is on a truck and trailer with real issues.

Know what I hate? Trying to do a 45 backing maneuver that I have done without any issue at 0300 at a receiver multiple times. But couldn't nail while a red shirt was watching. LOL Have to redo it tomorrow morning. Then get cleared by safety and get my truck.

Wait until you get out there on your own and sometimes won't be able to get the trailer into a straight back hole with no trailers on either side and 500' of pull up space! Happens to all of us sometimes LOL

So an update. Passed all of the assessments. Had to jump through some hoops to get my medical card from 90 days to the 2 year card. Now I am just sitting at the yard waiting for my first truck assignment.

I dont know how stevens does payroll but at my company we have to send releases through the peoplenet to get trips payed. If you can I would figure out what you need to take home every week and once you hit that number hold the rest of your trips till the start of next pay period. That way you have more consistent paychecks

Good for you! Glad you’ve made it this far. Just remember our conversations in your thread. Do not allow them to talk you into a flease regardless of how long they make you wait for an available truck. That’s and old trick that all flease companies try on their new hires. Make you wait until you’re broke waiting on a truck but if you sign a flease one magically appears.
Wasted Thyme Thanks this.
