Orientation ...Driving Expectations

Dont hit curbs, causes blow outs, dont hit anything in fact cause driver terminations, 6000 miles per week.

 

dont worry. you wont hit a curb. when you leave the school youll be better at turns. as for the driving test. the tester at orientation knows your a newbie and so is your wife. so dont worry.

 

You'll be expected to operate and move the truck in a safe manner.

 

Fatal accidents are also frowned upon....

 

Teams get special treatment. You will be fine.

 

Your own dispatch as far as I was told when I was there, they may drop a single load on you every now and again, when you are doing your road test ask them, Do you want extra wide turns or bouncing off the curb? I would swing wide better to go wide then nerf a curb and be sent packing.

 

If your going to Conover then there is nothing to worry about. The city driving part of the test is downtown Hickory from what I remember. When I finished Tim asked RL how I did on the city driving and I butted in an said that wasn't city driving that was back country driving for me. I took my driving test around Newark, NJ. Again, you both will be fine. They will make sure you do good since you are teaming.
