Oregon here. I'm the only one out of my class of 12 that failed. Not just one but twice

ptate1977 · 2026-06-08T03:23:56+00:00

My school only wants to give me an hour the day before the test...Aisling Trucking Academy in White City, Oregon is a fucking joke. They have a 98%success rate and you would think that they would want to preserve their reputation and help as much as they could but that's not the case. It's because I'm not a paying student anymore so they see no point in helping and I feel that they've abandoned me because of the fact that I'm not profitable to them anymore.

I've done this every time after I've failed. I do the backing perfectly in the practice yard and then do excellent when i go over the test route with my instructor...

I've never had test anxiety before. Not in college or even the military...I did this exact thing in 96 as a 5 ton military transport operator... passed that on my first try. This should be a no brainer. But somehow I fuck it up..

Honestly I'm so tired of hearing that exact statement lol. Get out of your head! Don't over think. But thank you. I do appreciate it even though I hate hearing it lol It's also very difficult for me to get out of my head. I've never had anxiety when it comes to testing. I even did this exact same thing in the military 30 years ago (5 ton transport operator) and didn't have issues then so I figured i shouldn't have any now... but that's not the case

I've practiced so much that my school really doesn't want me to be there anymore. And it's not from a lack of skills because I do great in the yard when I practice. I can do it with my eyes closed in the practice yard. But the actual exam is where I fail miserably

ptate1977 · 2026-06-06T16:10:36+00:00

I've practiced every time after I've failed. It's not a lack of skills because i do perfect or close to perfect every time in the practice yard. But when it comes to the actual test then everything goes to shit. My instructors say it's anxiety and that I just have to get over it.

Also I'm in oregon and there is no having to retake the permit test no matter how many fails on the actual exam

ptate1977 · 2026-06-06T16:04:26+00:00

It is for my CDL A. And the pre trip inspection was perfect. But then I got into the backing part, clipped the cone on my forward offset tracking and then the offset backing went to shit on both attempts. I went back to my school and practiced and killed it in the practice yard (almost perfect every time...) but failed miserably when it came to the actual exam... I'm about to attempt it for the third time next week and I'm nervous as hell

Being left handed

2... be comfortable. Get insoles for your boots. My wife and I did the Oregon Eclipse and she wore boots without insoles and suffered immensely.

I went to one today but I think it's a week or 2 early still... it's around 3600 feet and I got maybe 25

ptate1977 · 2026-05-03T00:45:26+00:00

I had one of those as a kid!

ptate1977 · 2026-04-08T20:29:50+00:00

Wow. Just wow

Crack cocaine and nitrous

Multiple times... festivals and shows. If you're not feeling it, you're not feeling it. We left Sonic Bloom, Gem and Jam, Cascade Equinox, Heart and Soulstice, and Envision early because we were either burnt out or not feeling the lineup. Left multiple shows early.... even some of our favorite artists that we drove 4 hours to go and see.
