Found out today there that this Swift academy has a "stupid" test. After the last guy yesterday failed his straight back tes he hit the brakes so hard he blew up one of the brake chambers on the trailer, so today when the lead trainer was swaping the trailers so we could do a full pretrip on one he told us about a guy who failed the stupid test.
He had a student say to him he did not know the tractors could disconnect from the trailer. He asked the student if h had ever seen a tractor like that in the highway (pointing at a bobtail), the student said yes h just thought they were going to a factory to have the trailer installed.... he was removed from the school as trucking was not for him...
"Bobtailing" means you are driving a tractor without a trailer attached.
Sounds like your at central refrigerated in Utah lol that's where I did my school not going to say it was easy cuz when I was going through the school I was so nervous I thought I wuz going to fail but looking back it really wasn't that bad just study and pay attention that's about all anyone can do
