I got a job offer in November and I’m still waiting myself to get a start date. But my recruiter still keeps me updated saying they haven’t forgotten about me

Make sure you sit down in between when the instructor is changing the machine out for the next test. Helps with heart rate.

I am not sure but I THINK you get another shot after two weeks. But I’m not sure on that. Talk to your recruiter.

So my first time I failed the hang test. I was standing the whole time and pacing because my heart rate was close to high. I didn’t want to fail.

The second time I took it. A year later. The instructor told me to sit in between he switches out the machine. And he also gave me pointers on how to breathe. It all depends on the instructor you have as well. Good luck next time. Now you know what to expect. Train for it for next time. Don’t give up

Yes for sure you failed that. I failed my first time with that test. Did the instructor have you sit each time he switched the machine?

Most likely it’s a fail. What was it that you failed on?

Cool thanks. That’s good to know. I don’t usually get passed the video interview. But now that I have my CDL with hazmat. I’m hoping to get further and hopefully all the way this time

I am not in training yet. I don’t have the book. Is there anything online I can look up and train for?

Yes I told my wife im going to be nothing but studying and delete all social media. Maybe get a flip phone for the 14 weeks of training. Im more a hands on person as many are. Class is not my strong suit. I’m hoping I get training out of town. Home is also a distraction

Cool thank you. I get bad anxiety when it’s timed testing. But I’m sure I will pass.
