So Anyhow I Took My CLASS A CDL Skills Test ...

 
....and failed the second step(AKA BACKING)

My pre-trip presentation was almost spotless. Apparently on one of my backing exercises I stopped short of the docking boundary, basically I stopped on the front side of the cones. That cost me ten points and along with a couple other pullups that I got charged for. I exceeded the max points allowed.
 
The examiner explained to me that I would have been better off to have backed the truck and trailer through the rear set of cones which represent the wall of the loading dock, i would have only been charged 2 points. I thought about that remark all the way home and just said WTF, they would rather see me do damage to the truck and trailer and the building in effect and not to mention potential harm to humans than stop short?
 
Somethings just don't make sense. Anyhow they made 100 bucks and know I will return next week.

Poor guy.  It is a bitch to back a truck and trailer into a tight space, but it takes a bigger bitch to whine about it on the internet.

  What a little girl.

They're cones. The building is imaginary.

Is rsmithnumbers some kind of mime?

Does the idiot know that those rules come from the all knowing and benevolent federal and/or state government?

I guess nobody told him about the crash barriers that are at the bottom of every dock floor.  I've watched plenty of truck drivers bash their trailers into them.  That's why they're there.

It appears that DUmmy rsmithnumbers is trying to declare for the draft after his freshman year at truck driving school. He isn't ready for the pros.

This storyline has a lot of promise as we follow his continuing driving school education and more unfair testing.

I hope that some day he will claim to have won his CDL battle.Then he'll start submitting bouncy tales about his adventures with repukes on the road and in the trucking office.

Aside from the golden days of poor, stupid Beth, rsmithnumbers is the DUmbest contender we've ever had.

[Skul]

I can't back a trailer while I'm sober.
How does that idiot expect to do while on chemicals?

[JohnnyReb]

He should try backing a lowboy trailer with a dolly under it....it's like pushing a lawnmower with a rope.

[USA4ME]

That's unfortunate on many levels. This probably means that the rsmithnumbers primitive doesn't know to load a gun, put the barrel into his mouth, and pull the trigger, which is something he desperately needs to be able to perform, and soon.

That idiot would screw up with a rope. 

[AprilRazz]

That is a relief! The roads continue to be safer with him off them.

[Bad Dog]

I wonder if they can remember someone failing that test.  My guess is, this was a better explanation than failing the drug test.

Can you imagine DUmmy rsmithnumbers behind the wheel of a gasoline tanker, rumbling down the road at 80mph?

That's a weapon of mass destruction.

I can't imagine that ass-cracker in any position of responsibility.
*plonk*

So basically what he's saying is that he doesn't have the skills of your basic suburban guy pulling an RV into a KOA campground?

I think he's saying he doesn't have the skills to drive his finger up his ass, using both hands and a spotter.

My pre-trip presentation was almost spotless.

"I'd be a great trucker if it wasn't for that whole, you know, driving thing."

[GOBUCKS]

Here's another great rsmithnumbers sentence.

It's generous to say the boy is semi-literate.

By the way, what's a pullup?

Ah... when you pull up to something?

Sounds like he is upset because his evil plans have been foiled. Terrorism?  

[JohnnyReb]

He might qualify to drive a chicken truck.....

"Sign read, clearance at the twelve foot line....chickens were stacked thirteen nine....." .....that line always cracks me up.
