    Do they fail anyone on the drive test? I need the refresher which they offer on the truck but that won’t give me any chance to shake the dust off before the test. That has me worried
     
    Veryblessed Thanks this.

    I'm not with those guys but I wouldn't worry too much about it no one's expecting you to be perfect on a driver's test. Obviously you're not used to the truck. Biggest thing on a test just go slow and safe, use your turn signals, keep checking your mirrors and watch your turns, and don't hit anything.
    You'll be fine don't overthink it.

    Good luck man hope you pass.

    Kerry and Kelly are the orientation driver examiners. They are really good guys and very good drivers. Just be honest with them and you’ll do fine. Your performance in both driving tests and the backing test will determine how many hours you get with a trainer.
     
    Veryblessed and fss99701 Thank this.

    I am just debating on wether to take the refresher course here in Vegas for $1500 with my discount or believe that somehow it all comes back after 7 years
     
    Veryblessed Thanks this.

    I’d save the money. If you tell them what’s up they’ll get you with a trainer who will give you the attention you need.
     
    Veryblessed Thanks this.

    Thank you! I just hate being unprepared and unfortunately for this situation it means spending some big money and a few weeks, so I have been going back forth on what to do.
