Does anyone know if you get your cdls but don't pass the 90 meaning you don't get hired by celadon, do you still graduate the driving program cause you got your cdls?

Also any pointers on the 90 I have done fine with everything else I'm just having trouble with the darn 90? They give you two times to practice it then three chances to test, you pass or go home.

Around 20 people have failed the 90 last week alone and we are on our third instructor for the 90 because people are failing. I really want to do my first year with celadon, I would appreciate any tips.

E-mail is wulfscry@gmail.com

Thanks, Bill

Start setup with shoulder just past the next space your pulling into,hard right for four to five seconds,hard left until your in the middle of the road.hard right backwards so you can easily see trailer, straighten drive tires and back to get a nice angle toward your space,hard left to get back under trailer

Have to straigten tires,and pivot trailer in order to squeeze into the space,or you will run out of room,keep aclose gap to the sideyou can see,getting a manageable angle is key.

Its better to start over rather than trying to fix a bad setup.
