You can't get DQed over grinding a gear. You'd have to basically grind gears in every shift

Pre-trip your vehicle before taking it on road.
Adjust that e-brake as tight as you can to help hold you on those little hills.
Always look over your left shoulder when pulling from a curb.
Tap your horn a lot. Any corner or object you can't see around.
Come to a complete stop (tires not rolling) behind every stop sign and behind the crosswalk strips at intersections.
Use your turn signals well in advance of every lane change or turn.
It's not a race, so be calm and in control. Maintain your lane and Your speed. Left turn - left lane, right turn - right lane.
Leave plenty of space between you and the vehicle in front of you when you are stopped in traffic. And delay you movement 3 seconds after the vehicle in front of you starts to move.
Good luck.

Lol, I didn't want to totally overwhelm the OP. I tried to leave out the official UPS language and order.

4-6, 6-8, 8-12.
When I took my test it was based off a point scale. 10pts for grinding gears, 25 points for not dropping break at stop lights or hills. I was allowed up to 125 points. I lost 90 points grinding, and 25 for not dropping the e brake at a intersection. I was also given a copy of the test in case school needed a copy.

Just drive it like you mean it. Drive safe like your taking a regular DMV road test. Show confidence that you are in control of the vehicle. This attachment should help you. I forgot who originally posted it so sorry if I didn't give credit...

Ups won't care unfortunately.
So then would I need to do the bid process again next time? I'm not missing the birth of my kid. They can't fail me for not being able to go to that session I wouldn't think.

Go and see HR and explain the situation to them and there may be another class they can get you into. You don't want to miss the birth that's for sure, you do not get a 'do over'.
You are correct. But there are still a few decent people around, you just have to search long and far for them.
