    There ya go that's the exact attitude in trucking to have,not to be a quitter which you have proved to be a winner.

    Thank you Patty,
    I was just coming at it with the attitude that honesty is the best policy, I really had no idea that NOT passing on the first try would become an issue !
    The school policy is you get three attempts there must be a reason for THAT.
    I just feel I was punished for my honesty & integrity !
    Not at all ashamed of not passing yet, Just keeping the recruiter informed as to where I was.

    But i'll tell you what, ALL the positive feedback I received on this post makes not passing friday ALOT easier to take !

    You won't give up but your truck will when it is stuck in a ditch. Good luck.

    Sounds like the 3 tries is whats making you nervous is it not?Can you talk to an instructor and see if he can work with you one on one?My biggest weakness was my alley dock and failed many times because of that.Finally an instructor helped me,just him and I and I was starting to have fun with it and ace every test at the DMV with flying colors.You can do the same thing but you need to have someone work with you one on one and not other students there just being in your way from learning.Im glad youre feeling better to all the positive feedback,thats a major plus.

    Actually I'm not nervous at all { I know I'll Get It }
    Like I said, I just feel I was punished for being honest...
    But everything happens for a reason !

    In this industry honesty is most the time never a good policy.Just ask any trucking company.
