[QUOTE="FedGT, post: 3920310, member: 58838"] If the Ground contractor is doing what they are supposed to it is supposed to be fairly difficult. I don’t remember the exact lengths per 1000, 1200, and bulk truck but it was barely over the length of the vehicle for the cones to be placed for the serpentine. Inexperienced drivers are meant to be weeded out since there are times that those skills are often used. I remember having to help one of my residential routes after I was done with my bulk route driving a 26’ box truck. I had to deliver to a very large apartment complex that was only 1/3 built. Workers lined the streets with snow on them and multiple dumpsters were overhanging the street within inches of hitting my mirrors. After I delivered I noticed that the road was blocked by 3 cement trucks on the unfinished side so I had to back out through the entire complex. So yeah the test is hard but it is also to train where your pivot points are, tail swing will be, and turning radius of the vehicle. What you did on that test is something you would do on close to a daily basis just getting into your parking spot in the terminal. It is quite easy once you know what to do. [/QUOTE]
