I just failed the skills test :(

Nervous as **** now., the closer it gets the worse my nerves are..lol, If i mange to pass my skills test anyone know how long the wait is for trainer and then own truck now ...? everyone ii have talked to says you hit one cone on skills test you go home right then.. i am fresh out of school and have only driven a 10 speed . hope all goes well.. think may is one of the best starter companys though have done alot of research.. signed on for the 48 how long will i be out at a time and if i want to stay out longer will they let me.?

 

the skills course is basically the same thing you take for the state test. Just get out and look. It depends if you re a smoker or non smoker but recently there has been no wait for trucks. Denver just got a shipment in of new trucks so more than likely theres some older trucks for you new guys

 

thanks joker, been following alot of your post on different threads and sounds like you are one of few drivers with some sense that knows what there talking about and wont get into pissing contest. can only hope to get a trainer like you.. hear they do a 45 degree backing with truck in a fense or something like that instead of 90 degree backing.. does it go off points or is it true that if you make one mistake you go home and come back following week? also was wondering if i should do the 90 day pay options they have or not.? thanks for your time and thanks for your honesty on here , i agree may is one of the best starter companys.. are you out of denver..?

 

Yes I'm actually a trainer out of Denver. Its not based on points. Its true you mess up you will go home and but just get out and look and you'll be fine. And yes its a 45 back. I would recommend the 90 day pay they didn't have that option when I started but especially since winter is coming up id take it.

 

As a former may driver I will agree they are one of the better starter companies, they all have their issues but as a starter company they are good. I run flatbed now with a different company and it is night and day different, but as a newbie may is good, and I too would recommend the 90 day pay program.

 

i want to thank both of you for your input, makes it little easier going in knowing what to expect some.. guess will see how it goes have to check into motel tomorrow in denver so not much time left.. hey joker how about that game winning field goal for bears.. , time for broncos to play so gotta go for now

 

It was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! I was very nervous and disapointed in the way they were playing. But it worked out in the end and they are still 6and1 AWESOME!!!!!

 

Just smoke a joint and relax before ya do the skills test .. All will be good.

 

well they do the drug test first .. lol, made it to the motel and iam really impressed wasnt expecting it to be this nice or have a single room with a king bed.. well hope tomorrow goes good lookin forward to starting my career at may.. stay safe truckers..
