    Hi guys, ok this is simple I have a road test tomorrow with PepsiCo and honestly I am freaking out, I have a CDL for about a year now but have not had the chance to use it. What should I expect in this road test? Is it hard? Thanks guys

    Pretrip, Dont hit anything, backing, either into a dock or parking space. Should not be any big deal if you can drive.

    I think they make you do a backward serpentine too. ..I loved that part.

    Not sure where you are , but Pepsi has automatic trucks in there sidebays, and ten speed in their van trailer. Do pretrip and just make sure not to run over curbs. Hopefully you know how to back up properly but if not that's okay your trainer will teach you

    Like riding a bicycle. It will come back to you. Take your time and follow instructions. I've been driving
    an automatic for the last two+ years. Went back to the manual side when I recently switched companies.
    Went right back to floating the gears within minutes. Good luck to you!
