The New CDL Skills And Driving Test
Topic 33278 | Page 2
I have hard time with test that why I asked is a checklist they give you when you do the pre trip inspection as like a guide to help with it
I just recently ended a job as a cdl instructor. There have been rumors of updated skills on the test for around a year now but they haven’t taken effect yet. Probably won’t for a little while.
Quit stressing. I promise it’s not rocket science. If you need a confidence booster go to any truck stop and hang out by the fuel pumps and fuel desk. You will realize that if those dudes can do it so can you. Kind of the same effect as going to Walmart at 3 am depressed and seeing all the other shoppers and realizing you don’t have it so bad lol
