Do any of you happen to know what the road test is like? Is it going to be similar to a regular drivers license test? Parallel parking?

Stop obsessing. Ask the tester if you can drive around the yard a little to get used to the truck. Go out on the street and do what he says. I doubt you will have to parallel park.

Watch your turns and don't hit anything.

That's ok. Maybe someone else will chime in. I'm going to plan on renting a Uhaul for a few hours this weekend and taking it around town. As for the manual tranny, I'll figure something out. I should be fine but I will definitely be a bit rusty at first.

They only have two different kinds of manual transmissions, as far as I know. The old GMC was a 4 speed , the new stick shifts are 5 speeds. Reverse is the to the top left, can be a bit tricky.

Hey browncafe. So I have one quick question that I didn't think need it a whole new thread so let me just throw it in here. Would I get fired or discipline if I get a job at an ontrac facility? I have a little over a year working at UPS and I already have my benefits and all but let's be honest for part timer the $ is not enough and yes I know some might say "well why don't you look somewhere else" the position at ontrac is a package handler and with the UPS experience I would think it might be somewhat easy there. Thank you all.

As long as there are no scheduling conflicts you should be just fine.
