    i have never seen a state by state statistic on this.

    we would only be able to go by individuals who claim someone in class did not pass, or he/she themselves did not pass.

    then too, what are you asking?

    state DMV road tests, or company road tests?

    This, passing the road test is the easy part. It's living out of a truck for weeks and having a mountain of stress and responsibility resting on your shoulders that washes people out.

    Exactly!!!!!!!! I would say a very high percentage fail at succeeding and a low number fails the road test.

    but, we will never have exact numbers, statistics or exact percentages. only an assumed thought of amount.

    Nice because the reason i ask is because i need to think of a backup plan if this trucking doesn't work out for me, it's pretty much you can say "life or death" I need this to work. The living out on the road and the stress can't be any worse then the stress i go through now where i live...trust me lol

    then do well on your road test, and any other testing the company puts you through.

    it is still up to you. you think now your life sucks, you still cannot drive far enough, to get away from your problems, as you will be every where you go.

    It sounds like the op is asking because he's about to take a road test and hoping he gets positive feeedback.
