I worked for them for about 6 years back in the day but I don't know the answer to that unfortunately. We have others in our forum that work there. Hopefully one of them will be able to chime in.
When I went through training with USX a couple years ago, my trainer told me that they were real strict on the road test and if you failed it you were done...sent home, not given a second chance. This made no sense to me but this was an experienced driver and trainer saying this. Well, he was full of sh8t. I failed my test miserably, having been trained on an automatic and tested on a manual. was sent out for 50 hours of 'shift training' with a new trainer. Came back, was less than perfect shifting but I passed.
I know there have been people sent back out for more training again AFTER being sent out for more training. After training for 5 weeks the company has three-four grand invested in you just in pay, hotel, bus tickets etc, not to mention the considerable man hours put into your training. They're going to keep plugging away with you to eventually get some return on that, unless you prove absolutely hopeless.

My husband is currently OTR with US Xpress, training, he wanted to know about the test that happens when you go back to your hiring terminal , any insite would be great!
Terminal:
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
OTR:
Over The Road
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
