[QUOTE="rdubill, post: 147701, member: 5327"]Being a newbie that is currently attending a school here in Buffalo I just receibed my permit and endorsements yesterday... Will start in the trucks on Monday - the first week was all class... Been asking questions about the upcoming road test (in 3 weeks) - seems a major portion of it is the pre-trip inspection where you have to call out everything you are inspecting to the examiner and why you are inspecting it.... It seems you have to do all this from memory and are not allowed to carry a "check off sheet" - is this true? I am one who writes EVERYTHING down and will always have a checklist with me for inspections once I'm working - to have to committ this to memory for the test is concerning me - I have always had 'test anxiety' and all it will do is cause to to forget something!! Heck - I can't remember what I had for breakfast this morning... Any comments/suggestion? I am concerned.... Why would they not let you carry a checklist? Several of the other students who failed did so not because of their driving but the pre-trip did them in (forgot to cover something or didn't have a good why they were doing it answer)... thanks[/QUOTE]
