so i did my kenan road test today....i passed but it wasnt the best. they said the one thing i didnt do enough was down shift. i admittedly got into a habit while doing flatbeds of just slowing into a stop, and then putting it into second or third gear when stopped. i CAN downshift, ill just have to get into habit. I also grinded a few gears. I was nervous a bit, and i never was in a Mack before....im still training with another guy for a week or two, then they might have me do another test...ugh! and they said id be on 90 day probationary period....all this over downshifting! oh well, its easily correctable...

well thats good to know lol....i felt like an idiot though after the road test. the couple times i grinded gears, i had to pull up a couple times while coupling...(first time to a tanker) and then me not downshifting enough...i know in my head that all this is correctable, but man when i left there i was like COME ON lol...ill be training for a week or two, then ill get to do some driving with some real experienced guys...
