Very thorough. But a lot of these seiks go through bullshit schools in a week or less with fake documents, like the driver physical. Only thing on our test that's different than your test is that backing proceedure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe before MB trucks leave for Ontario, their limiters are adjusted to 95 to 100 mph. I heard of guys getting nailed for speeding when sailing down hills lol.

We did 2 weeks of classroom ,6 weeks in the truck. I didn't know fuck all after 2 days really . Shit didn't start coming together for almost a week . First 2 days of driving ,no clutch . Had to get used to friction point. After that ,double clutching. 2 days, nobodys knows shit except the absolute basics Edited July 7, 2018 by xcr700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He either ran a stop sign or proceeded from a stop sign when it wasn’t safe to do so. That’s not a class 1 mistake, that’s a class 5 mistake.
