[QUOTE="Zap!, post: 1458665, member: 55883"] I was hired as a seasonal employee to be a driver. Passed the initial psychical and road test. Went to class last Monday. Did my homework and when I was quizzed, got them right. Thursday some students were let go because they couldn't handle the truck. Driving stick for 15 years, I breezed by. Yesterday morning I took the written. Got done at a decent time and did well. Studied for the verbal, even on my lunch break. Now it's my turn. So I go up there and quickly get by the 5 Seeing Habits. He then asks me the 5 Rules of Backing. No problems (thought I would forget 4 but it came right away). Now, 10 Point Commentary. Had to think for a second on a couple of the descriptions, but I got them. Then cane to 9. I drew a blank, despite saying it to myself before I was called. I said I know it starts with a "G" and that I was thinking for a second. He said "sorry, not good enough" and closed my book. He said if I had to think, it was too late. "But the good news is I will put the good word in to you for attitude, appearance, and coming early to your HR" blah blah. Asked if I can take the test again next week (another class is starting) and he said no. Shook his hand and left. I can't say I was angry, but this really hit me hard. I know the answers but momentarily froze. I guess every trainer is different but is it normal to not get another chance? When can I take the test again, and honestly should I take the loader job if offered? [/QUOTE]
