Schneider orientation roadtest

Double clutch, don't curb, keep your head on a swivel and operate with safety in mind and you'll do fine

 

Pretty much every type of turn you can think of to make sure you recognize in advance. Backing make sure to get out and look at least twice. Full pre trip Remember Schneider is huge on safety so anything less than that is asking for trouble

 

Depends on which OC you're testing at, but regardless of location, here are a few things that'll get you chewed out and/or sent home.

1) Make good and sure you obey school zone speed limits, even on days/times there is no school in session. The official stance is to obey the lowest posted speed limit.

2) Always stop a good way back from a stop sign or light. In fact, never get closer than about 20' from the vehicle stopped in from of you.

3). Absolutely NEVER go through a yellow light. That'll get you canned, right out of the gate.

4) When turning the wheel, NEVER pass one hand over the other. That'll get you a good chewing with Schneider.

5) Ask your trainer if double clutching is required. They'll usually tell you that it's OK to float gears, but the second you start grinding, they'll expect you to double clutch.

6) Always observe the correct coupling/uncoupling procedure. Get a pamphlet from one of the trainers and memorize it. Incorrect procedure will either mean that you'll have to go out with a trainer or you'll get sent home.

Everything else is pretty much common sense stuff. Check your gauges. Do your air pressure checks. Pretrip. You get the picture, right? Don't sweat it, you'll do fine.
