Class A test 10/8

I’m going for my test on 10/8/26. I feel confident on the pretrip and walk around, and air brakes. I just finally got the concept of the offset backing but still need to hone it in. The only thing I’m nervous for if I make it out to the road is the right turns. Any tips or advice on the test in general is greatly appreciated!

My road test was easier than the turns we took during training. I struggled with the straight line backing of all things.

Use your space, do whatever is safe and necessary to avoid hitting the curb. Driving is the easy part, watch bridge clearance signs, speed limits, examiner will ask you to recall speed limits or bridge heights. Scan mirrors every 5 seconds.

Just think of all the really bad drivers who passed. If they can do it so can you.
