Roehl Orientation Driving Test

yeah they wont hold your hand after 3-4 days, they expect you to know what your doing.

 

When u get assigned a trainer and go out, you'll need 6 hrs of driving a day in order to get orientation pay while out with a trainer. I went out with my trainer for 2 weeks, we got along great and he was 14/ 7 out of ellenwood. I could've tested out in marshfield but it was a Friday evening, I would've have to wait til Monday to test out. So I stayed with him and tested out in ellenhood. He drove a couple hours to start off each day the first 2 days then I drove everyday all day from then on.

 

Well if he was in orientation then if u can't downshift it can cause a accident. If it happened several times to where he was consistantly unsafe after the instructor explaining how to down shift again and again then yes I believe after a couple times of near misses or accident situations they'd be impatient. Just my speculation probably more to the story. The orientation van trucks have 30,000 lbs they're not empty or have pallets like my cdl school. But I Guy in my class couldn't down shift, barely shift, sort of backed in his own way, passed only to fail with his trainer. LOL.
