Just wanted to give a heart-felt thanks to everyone. All of the advice and insight I have received on this forum has greatly helped with my nervousness about my drive test next week. You guys are the greatest and I feel so blessed to have stumbled upon this forum. God bless every one of you and may he keep you and yours safe while you're on the road.

I'm going for my drive test next week and I'm nervous.I'm being trained by two different people who seem to have different ideas about what I'm supposed to do and not supposed to do with the examiner in the cab. One of the issues is the clutch. While stopped at a traffic light one person says the truck should be in neutral with the clutch disengaged. The other says the truck should be in gear with the clutch engaged. Which one is correct? I don't want to get ringed for something like that. Please help. Thank you in advance.

I just recently got my learner permit and have started training with the "transportation" company I work for. Keep in mind I'm VERY new to driving a tractor and double-clutching is resulting in a lot of gear grinding. The person training me has 20+ years experience diving and is not very patient. I think they have tithe thinking that because they can do it I should be able to do it as well. Any tips or suggestions to help me out? Any advice would be extremely appreciated.
