Failed road test couple questions

Road tested today with a handful of other prospective drivers. Testing was done in an older truck, auto transmission. Pretty much as expected, passed easily & awaiting the word for Intergrad

Automatic transmission? Over here they give you 5 minutes in a p8 with a shifter that more resembles a noodle than a stick. Thankfully they don't stall easily so you could get around corners by holding the clutch and WOT whenever the gears got mixed up . Then it was all automatic P6s and P8s at integrad and a P12 on my training route.

we've had guys try to train in feeders who never drove a stick before. it's almost like having 2 strikes against you before starting.

Eh, I've heard it's easier to teach someone to double clutch if they've never drove a manual.

haha ...that's so true. I drove trucks for almost 14 years before UPS and only used the clutch for 1st and reverse. never used it at all for the rest of gears.

when training they told me to double clutch and I said "huh?". I couldn't get the hang of it, even on my ride alongs they told me to double clutch and it was a horror show so they finally gave up and let me shift without using the clutch.

After all, why put wear and tear on the clutch if you don't have to?

congrats.

I have been a bid air driver for two years and just got full time and they made me do another road test to start my new position thought it was crap but did it anyways

Yep.
If you roll a stop sign, you also have a rolling blind spot which can lead to an intersection accident.

Did you do it in a truck? Or a snowmobile?

That's some pretty fancy classic trailers they have. UPS must be paying them too much.
