You'll do fine on your test. I tested this morning with Evelyn and, believe me, if I can do it anyone can. Breezed through the pre-trip and then drove around the course with no problems. Then came the backing up part. I had two pull-ups on the angle part and did the straight line backing in one try, but I ended up with a 4 on the backing because I forgot to turn on the flashers first. Stupid mistake, but hey it's over. I ran straight down to the DMV to get my license before the ink dried on the paper. It's a great feeling.
You're testing on Saturday? How is that? I thought you were in the day class (I think I know who you are), and we graduate on Friday. Either way, best of luck to you.
Hey, congrats on passing. Yea, I test on Saturday. I'm not worried about it at all. I've been doing really good on my backing and don't think I will choke on that. The route is pretty simple.... There's just one really tight right turn that I brushed today, but as long as I don't run over it I should be good. I have the pre trip and brake test memorized. It's been a fast 3 weeks. Ready to get it over. Hopefully it will go very smoothly without any hiccups.
Today I went on a trial run with one of the instructors and he scored me a 96. Scratched 2 gears I think and scraped that dag on curb.
I don't think we go to the same school, I probably should have stated in my first reply, I start school the same day, but at American Truck Training in Tulsa, OK. :D |

Finished the DMV test today with a 98.... Everything went smoothly, except coming out the yard I could not get into 5th gear whatsoever. Never happened before. But talk about grinding.... :oops: I think my rpm's were too low or something. I told the DMV lady if she wasn't in that seat I wouldn't have done that, hehe. Did the backup very nicely with one pullup, that wasn't really needed, but want to be as straight as possible.
Well, just an uppdate....
3 weeks total... I'd definitely recommend American Truck Training to anyone interested. |
